I hope AOC gets the help she so deserves for her traumas.
But she has publicly funded health care and many of her constituents don't.
She owes them the same opportunity for mental health that they gave her when they voted her into office.

She said she would fight for Medicare for All but now is never the right time.

The end result is that AOC is protecting the systems that commit structural violence against people she promised to protect.
AOC is part of the violence.
And it's OK to have messy and complex feelings about this.
