...this kind of attack should be off-bounds here.

The attacks on AOC, ironically, began with concern about her winning the seat. It's evolved into an apparent attempt to take her down before she even faces her republican opponent in the election.

This is a Democratic board and Democrats should find support here, unless they do something to violate our Democratic compact. Exercising her political right to participate in this election and to freely associate with (and oppose in the primary, those Democrats she may disagree with (like voters do), should not be the subject of scorn or derision here.
