I'm really tired with all the lefties still complaining and comparing AOC's time with everyone else's.

Here are the union folks!

LOL, Weigel was blasting five minutes ago the organizers for featuring Sara Cooper but not any union people.

In case you were wondering why Castro was canceled.

Maybe Castro should have laughed and said "it was a debate" over and over again when talking about the attacks.

Harris attacked Biden on a policy issue and clearly stated that she didn't believe he was a racist.
Castro's hit was ageist and below the belt.

A "policy issue" from nearly 50 years ago that Harris herself didn't oppose. And the clear implication was that he was a racist. And it had nothing to do with age, Castro's comments clearly wouldn't have been directed at the older Sanders.

1) No, the implication was about ideology.

2) He didn't attack Sanders because he was after his voters.

The hard reality is that young voters are unreliable, and it was proven once again during the primary. OTOH, seniors and educated suburbanites are among the most reliable voting groups out there. So the Biden campaign made a strategic decision to appeal primarily to them with the convention, and for better or worse AOC isn't very popular among them.
You can argue whether this decision was right or not, but I think that team Biden has earned the benefit of the doubt.
