My thought exactly. The Democratic Party is more fragmented than they want to admit. She was on the progressive side (I thought). Or maybe there actually is no progressive side.

Had high hopes that she wouldn't fall in line.

People like AOC are why I'm generally convinced my vote really doesn't matter. We elected a Democratic president with a congressional majority last time, and in return most of the country is working multiple jobs to survive AND you no longer have the right to abortion.

When we get conservative outcomes regardless, what does my Democratic vote really matter for?
