Ocasio-Cortez, who changed her vote from no to present on Iron Dome at the last minute appears visibly upset. Appears to be crying on the House floor, in a hug with Rep. Jayapal— Marc Rod (@marcrod97) September 23, 2021
Put yourself in AOC's position, she can either preach some esoteric communist dribble about how Cuba is preserving the revolution and resisting US imperialism and have all of US media give her flak over it hurting her position because, after all, most of America is convinced she's a socialist, or she can not do that and face a single day of critism from the left that no one will ever see. She's operating in a capitalist system that seeks to get her out, she's going to care more about self preservation moreso than some "principled" position that once again, only a small faction of leftists is going to care about.
