Im so confused by these posts
@shockthemonkey It goes something like...

There was a DNC event with some traditional pomp and flair whereby people symbolically cast the votes that have already been pledged to the candidates in the Primaries. It's a standard thing that happens every time. Sanders was one of the people due such a pledge because he had a delegate count. I couldn't tell you the threshold or if there is one.

At any rate, the DNC invited AOC to be the one to present the *purely symbolic* endorsement of Sanders.

The media -- at both ends -- instantly jumped on the narrative that AOC was being a radical leftist soygirl beta bitch by endorsing Sanders instead of Biden even though it's just a symbolic ceremonial thing.

A lot of people don't understand that latter part.

A lot of people also think the DNC set her up because they probably knew in advance the headlines would look fucking terrible for AOC. I don't think there's any concrete confirmation of that but it does make sense.
