It is Biden or bust and yet she dared mention Bernie. Seems it was something others in the party had her do? Seems like a setup so that she will later lose her seat or never advance further.

On some level however, I wonder if this trap could backfire. Guess it depends on how well Biden is regarded in the future.

Career suicide doesn't care how conventions work, it cares how the average voter understands conventions.

That is, for months Bernie has not been considered.

Perception is reality as they say.

That is irrelevant.

This topic is about how it will affect her specifically. It doesn't matter "how conventions work"

Bunch of news articles are blasting her.

Well someone suicided their account on the Politics board by showing a fake of AOC doing an unspeakable thing to Trump. We don't need to see or think about this one either.

That they wanted to keep the illusion of the original intent of the Democratic National Convention? Her choosing Sanders was symbolic.

Except that being unified is important to take down trump right? And this will be a catalyst for the party to attack AOC later on.
Not to mention the news is reporting this as being unexpected.

Question now is, did AOC do this on her own or did someone in the DNC request it?

If the latter, they set her up and she should have told them to get someone else to do it.

No it's not. It's the actual fact of the matter. If you want to make collective dumbassery the topic, then start with that.

Don't try to obfuscate the fact that you didn't know going into this and are now trying to play it off like it wasn't the original intent of the topic.

Honestly I thought you were a "facts over feelings" type, but here we are you just outright stating that facts are irrelevant.

This was literally planned as the entire reason she was speaking at the DNC

Its the funniest topic in ages


https://www.vox.com/2020/8/19/21375250/democratic-convention-alexandria-ocasio-cortez-bernie-sanders-nomination

Due in part to misleading tweets and articles from some media outlets like NBC News and the New York Post, people began accusing Ocasio-Cortez of snubbing Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden in her speech. (She did not mention his name in her remarks, but shes made clear in the past that she supports his candidacy.) Fox News panelists as well as other conservative sites ran with this narrative. And as Mother Joness Inae Oh reported, social media blew up:

The entire unwarranted fracas was a product of several media outlets poor framing, which highlighted Democratic divides to advance an inaccurate narrative. It was also an example of the unique scrutiny and backlash Ocasio-Cortez faces as an outspoken progressive leader and young woman of color.

By implying that her nomination was a divisive snub to Biden, however, NBC News and MSNBC were among the outlets that had already fueled backlash to her remarks. Both ultimately posted clarifications and deleted their original posts, but at that point, these tweets had generated an enormous amount of hatred and vitriol, Ocasio-Cortez noted


Poorly planned or maybe just as planned.

You would think MSNBC experts knew this right?
Hmm

i hope you weren't referring to me. i made a stupid post, realized it after like six people told me i was an idiot, then admitted i was ignorant about the topic and had reacted to a headline.

i admit i got a little peeved at how that one dude was correcting me, but if that's what you're calling a "meltdown" then, well, alright i guess.

edit: n/m that topic has like 2 more pages of someone else arguing over the same thing.

Career suicide only cares about perception.

I read the other topic before making this one so saying I didn't know this is simply not true.

Perception is driven by the media who also partners with and is a body made up of ex-campaigners.

You read the other topic and saw how much attention it was getting so you needed some yourself?

My topic is not reporting on the event.

My topic is examining how this will effect AOC's career.

Saying "she just did what she was suppose to" doesn't answer how it will effect her career.

You can argue it won't be career suicide as people will become educated with how they work, but then you would be disingenous because you are going around insulting users as being unable to understand how they work. Well idk if you doing that but the guys who are.
