This summary from the Independent necessarily cuts out a lot of the nuance of AOC’s points - I say “necessarily” because she spoke on Instagram for a full hour - and one thing that she seemed to emphasize - more than the “They don’t 100% support Harris either” point - is there there is very little time remaining in the election year to make any changes to the ticket. There are just weeks until the Democratic convention, and Ohio requires the names to be finalized even before that. She also emphasized that any change to the ticket, especially any late change, increases the chance that the presidency will ultimately be decided - if not by the bureaucracy of a swing state, many of which, like Ohio, are Republican-controlled - then by a legal case that goes before the (corrupt, she didn’t need to explain, although there were arch eyebrows at this point) Supreme Court, which is just not an ideal situation for democracy.
