In reply to the discussion: AOC is not who you may think she is... [View all]NurseJackie

Bernie endorsed her, so some consider her tainted.

The old saying is "people are judged by the company they keep" (not who endorses them) but leaving that axiom aside for a moment... I think her critics are smarter and more reflective and more analytical than you're giving them credit for. Fair-minded and rational people here are perfectly capable of (and appear to have so done) judging someone based on their words and deeds, their mistakes, their failures, their missteps. Also based on whether or not someone is humble and learns from their mistakes and how/if they turn those experiences into success. What I'm trying to point out is that not everything in the world circles back to Bernie and it appears to me that she's being evaluated and measured based on her own merits, not his. That's all.

I wonder why he never endorsed Sharice Davids (indeed, he campaigned against her in the primary)?

I wonder if Pelosi knew in advance that they were going to hold the sit-in. I doubt it...

Not a 50/50 chance that she did. If she did, it's a 100% chance, if she didn't it's 0% chance....

I was impressed with AOC going to the protest to show a group that had endorsed her

She is (or was, they've removed that page from their website) on the Board of Justice Democrats.
