Here's what's really funny about the iron dome AOC story: anyone who would have been pissed at her for voting "no" still knows how she feels about them. They are satisfied by her change in vote not because they believe she legitimately changed her mind - they know she didn't - but rather because she has demonstrated her capacity to be coerced. She sold her soul on this issue, which means she can be relied upon to sell her soul on any other issue. The only calculus is in determining the price.

She didn't cry about it because she was strong-armed into changing her vote. She cried because she knows the next time someone calls her a fraud, she won't be able to deny it to herself.
