full of insinuation about Biden/Democratic dishonesty about intentions. She chose a really bad time to try to distract attention to her demoralizing attacks on us -- from Senator Sanders' and President Obama's endorsements and the major shift in alignment to unity.
She was clearly trying to draw some of Sanders' to hostiles and to insert herself on the national scene among the big players, and this retrench to safety suggests to me that the responses weren't exactly what she hoped for.
Nancy of course has her number and, as she's said, she's almost never surprised. 
She would have anticipated something of this sort from Ocasio, who has to worry about losing a lot of dissident steam, but I'm not as sure as others that Nancy felt a need to do anything, rather than just let them fail.
among the rest. Now I'm thinking it's more likely than otherwise that house leaders, and perhaps others, did feel a need to send her a message. It's way, way, way over the line, and no one's got her back.
Common sense after AOC reportedly yhrew Joe under the bus as reported earlier today on DU. I don't hsve link, but I'm sure you can find it you care to look. 
of making their own decisions, without some older white person giving them orders.
Needless to say, 
For some reason I don't recall that here or elsewhere. 
.. be sending mine to AOC
On edit: also, I don't really agree that it is within her power to not be distorted. The things that she said in the view interview quoted in this OP are pretty much identical to the things she said in the interview that had everyone outraged.
she would do the right thing. And you are correct - that is good to hear.
I believe she has tremendous potential in the party - after all, if THAT many RepubliCons go after her so hard and fast, she MUST be doing something right!
Hopefully, experience, maturity, and mentoring/guidance will help mold her into an outstanding Democratic leader. 
In the future, let me in on the English first so I don't get confused
Due to the nature of my work (when there is no virus chopping off the legs of my mobility, that is), I am in a different country every day, and would lose too much time if I had to request my colleagues to speak English, so I don't. When I explain that I speak nine languages, it is not to claim vast intellectual prowess, but rather to explain how I can get things done with my work schedule. If you can converse with your colleagues in their own languages while pursuing a hectic schedule, you get to lop off cumbersome minutes of every appointment by not needing translation. Living as I do in a country that borders on almost ten others (depending on whether or not one condisers a Baltic ferry route a border), I'd have to be arrogant, stupid, or some combination of the two if I didn't make an effort to learn the languages of the countries that border us, as well as those of major countries nearby. Being married to a German, and speaking German with her at home, of course, does weight the priorities somewhat.
p.s. how about Whoopi for veep? She's really good at this!
not that there's anything wrong with that, but
Also, trashing thread due to the drama of it all. DU sometimes feels like middle school... ironically funny given DU's average age.
I'm going to hold my breath on that one................ 
The article and interview I was referring to was from Tuesday.
"Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez: "It's legitimate to talk about" allegations against Joe Biden"

Its fine if you think otherwise. Im just explaining what I was talking about.
It happens.
you were arguing what you thought was important and I was arguing about what the OPs were saying.
I hope I didnt sound like I was arguing. We are on the same team for sure!
for the trolls
