Is AOC distancing herself from Bernie because she is afraid of losing her election? [View all]

I know a couple of people who live in AOC's district who say she was bombarded with calls and e-mails from people in her distract for saying her and Joe Biden do not belong in the same party. I'm told they again voiced their concern of her endorsing Bernie while Bernie was aligning himself with Cenk and Joe Rogan. If she is distancing herself from Bernie is a dark blue district! Wow! Bernie is in more trouble than we know.

Here are some examples of her becoming more pragmatic.

Here she is allegedly soothing Bernie supporters after his loss but does not mention his name once but does mention misogyny in women being able to get elected.? Was she for Warren or Bernie?
