Both sides can eventually lead to the same thing in the end, but are focusing on a different path to get there.

We take that video as something where someone is generically trying to say that AOC isn't serious enough to compete in politics, but the goal for the other side is to show that AOC is just like all the other (comparatively) younger women out there and that specifically is what leads to her not being serious enough to compete in politics. It's not bad because she isn't serious, it's bad because she's acting like a woman. From that perspective, the only thing Stormy did wrong was going against the typical process and speaking out about what happened, beyond that, she was playing the expected part.
