AOC was the lone Democrat in Congress to oppose the $1.7 trillion federal spending bill

No doubt because of the money for the military.

• Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez was the lone Democrat to vote against the $1.7 trillion spending bill.
• It is unclear why she opposed the measure.
• The bill easily passed the House. Biden has promised to sign it into law as soon as possible.

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York on Friday became the lone Democrat in Congress to oppose a sweeping $1.7 trillion bipartisan spending plan that otherwise largely passed along party lines.

While it is not clear why Ocasio-Cortez opposed the bill, the legislation provides $858 billion in funding for Pentagon programs, a major defense-related spending boost that was touted by Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell and other Republicans who supported the bill. Ocasio-Cortez has previously argued that the US should reduce its defense-related spending. A representative for AOC did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Just 2 months ago, she was hammered on stage by her constituents for her support of the proxy war.
It totally blindsided her that actual people are against instigating WWIII on behalf of Ukrainian fascists.
Saying they don't know why she opposed it is lying or willful ignorance on their part.

AOC heckled at town hall for Ukraine support: ‘You’re voting to start a nuclear war’

“Congresswoman! None of this matters unless there’s a nuclear war, which you voted to send arms and weapons to Ukraine,” one protester shouted, according to a video posted on Twitter.

In pure socialism, Beyonce should earn the same as a dishwasher. That is why I do not believe in you and others with Progressive answers. You steal from the workers not privileged and condemn the retirees with no real increase in revenue with evil men like Joe in charge.

I find it interesting that Democrats talked about primarying both Sinema and Manchin for not voting with the collective but don't seem to ever talk about primarying AOC, no matter what she does.

I suspect anyone who can beat her in a primary is just as kooky as she is.

Every Republican should have opposed it because there were 12 infringements upon the right to keep and bear arms.

Freedom, liberty, and fiscal responsibility are not any higher a priority for them than the dimocraps, except when they are playing the election con.
