It was purely performative theatrics. AOC is comped, whether by Pelosi or another faction is ?, But she is either no longer a true believer of the progressive faction or she never was. Same shit with the border and her tearful displays under Trump, but she has been mostly quiet on it under Biden, nowhere near the same amount of attention.
Yet there are a ton of thirsty progressives and retard tier faggots who are STILL defending her.
She didn't have to change her vote based on anything pragmatic, as the measure was already destined to pass. She could have stuck with "no" and her retard progressive supporters would have eaten it up - but the image of that would have been problematic for Pelosi, especially if the Israelis took enough issue with them to turn against the Dems and support the republicans wholeheartedly again. They're playing a very dangerous dancing game on a razor wire though because in doing this they risked causing yet another international fuckup with yet another ally. So instead, she did the next best thing she could do and changed her vote so she could save her skin with Pelosi and the Jews, but put on a crying display so her progressive retards would be fooled into thinking "well she tried but they just keep holding her down!"
