Can you name two or three, without changing the subject and getting all aggressive and pivoting to some other argument instead?
(Not this vote, this is horseshit as I've explained elsewhere in the comments.)
Ocasio-Cortez publicly castigated the railway companies and demanded better conditions for workers — then voted to forbid them from striking.
During the 2021 American Rescue Plan COVID relief bill, she advocated in favor of raising the minimum wage as part of the legislation. Ocasio-Cortez was quoted as saying. “If we as a party decide to stand down on our promise of elevating the minimum wage, I think that’s extraordinarily spurious and it’s something that as a party we could have a further conversation about how to fight for it.” With her Squad caucus - and Republican intransigence - they had the ability to hold the bill hostage until minimum wage was included. But she caved and supported the bill anyway.
And she voted for the CHIPS Act without including language to curb climate emissions from data centers, and now we've got a flood of new data centers that are polluting at an unprecedented rate.
It was "horseshit" that seemed to win support from Al Green and Ilhan Omar. Perhaps AOC simply had too much beef with MTG to stomach a vote. But it's a bad look to her constituents, regardless.
