She said it on fake news (Murdoch), back tracking is sorta late for fake news audience and it makes another Republicans talking point with ads.

She seems to tell the truth, even when it's inconvenient, a remarkable talent in a young politician.

self-suppression?

"I'm being repressed!'

20-something year olds couldn't stand in line for 2 hours to vote for Bernie but 60 and 70 year-olds could do so to vote for Biden?

See there? Vote for Joe and you'll not only live longer but be in better shape when you retire to boot!

Also, Bernie supporters knew for some time who they would vote for, so couldn’t they have voted by mail?

point, now with Bernie saying “older voters” aren’t as important as the young...and AOC saying the young couldn’t vote, so it’s all rigged against him.

Somehow, all the Biden voters got to cast a ballot. That damn "establishment" is so crafty!

Go away, you shameless self-promoter.

You need to focus on learning how to be a good legislator and serving your constituents, rather than picking Twitter fights with everyone and butting in where you don't belong.

If you were being a proper junior legislator, I shouldn't hear anything about you for at least two more terms, outside of whether or not you won re-election.

So tired of this pompous gadfly.

Michigan college students form long lines for same-day registration in presidential primary

College-aged voters in Ann Arbor, Kalamazoo and East Lansing formed long lines in local clerks’ offices on Monday and Tuesday, taking advantage of Michigan’s first-ever election with same-day registration.

Emma Walters is registered in Saline, but was in line to change her registration to East Lansing so she could vote where she lives now. She got in line around 4 p.m. and was still waiting at 5 p.m.

Without same-day registration, she said, “I would have had to drive home, and that would have been a lot more difficult."

She plans to cast a ballot for Bernie Sanders, who is vying with Joe Biden and long-shot candidate Tulsi Gabbard in Michigan’s Democratic primary.

Those long lines affected Biden voters as well. It's not like anyone knew how anyone was going to vote when they got in line.

Biden voters are letting her know on that foolish tweet that they, too, had to put up with a bunch of crap to vote, so it wasn't exclusive to poor baby BS voters, just because a media outlet talked to one of them. That's why AOC backed off her claim to the more sensible complaint about voter suppression in general, rather than the outlandish claim that it was done to hurt her precious BS, when she had ZERO evidence to back up that claim. It was irresponsible and divisive to run her Twitter fingers off that way.

I expect someone who got a degree in science o know better.

For years! That would be voter suppression involving primarily voters of color.

Please, if you can't do any better than this to explain a loss, a sizable loss at that, then you should pipe down and say:

SORRY.

So, if anything, voter suppression is probably helping Bernie.

I would ask that we all consider this in context. When the general comes and we inevitably run into similar or worse problems, undoubtedly skewed in such ways that they harm the democratic vote and help Trumps voters, will we be as sanguine about those problems? Will we blow our credibility to complain about them by ignoring or dismissing them now?

I really, really am, but she has a way of getting her butt in jams from speaking first and thinking afterward. Maybe, just maybe, she ought to learn how to walk before she tries to run the 100 meter dash.

She could be the future face of the Democratic Party, but stuff like this is makes her look foolish, and we already have enough fools in positions of power in the DNC.

for Bernie voters so that they won't have to be inconvenienced?

surely she is not that stupid

Damn

We Will Remember This as our State and Government Officials is fighting to keep people alive with COVID-19.

then change the "Voting Line Starts Here" signs to "Half Off Drinks Ahead".

The GOP would have done anything it could do to help a weak and unelectable candidate like sanders win. The GOP is guilty of voter suppression but none of this was aimed at sanders or his supporters

I still think that she has a lot to contribute to her politics and I have seen so much growth and maturity in her as time has passed. I hope that this was just a throwaway phrase.

This latest idiocy is just confirmation.

For sure there were long lines in Ann Arbor and other districts. But I think that accusing the state government of Michigan of engaging in a criminal conspiracy requires evidence.

This is not a good look for the Sanders campaign.

Rampant voters voting against Sanders.
I was one.

Instead of WAY up???? Are there people with some sort of special Sanders Voters Sensing ability who blocked them from getting to the polls?

I'm trying really hard to maintain my admiration for AOC.

and then complaining everyone else is doing the same thing.

Girl, put a sock in it. We don't need you spreading unfounded rumors to excuse Bernie's poor showings in MI. Can't you see Biden has beaten Bernie in many states, and even in those he lost, he still has added delegates?

I volunteer a great deal of time on voter protection. sanders supporters were not being targeted

Joe won outright.

Oscillates between grudging appreciation, to contempt.

She is very entitled. And doesn’t seem to know where she stands on things. The other night she congratulated Biden saying we need to be unified. Today, it’s “He’s stealiing the election!1!”

She’s an odd bird who nobody will ever confuse with a more talented public servant like Katie Porter. Haven’t heard a thing from AOC about the virus crisis, just more stumping and politicking for the socialist.
