I doubt she believed it when she wrote it. To her, and so many others it's all about signaling to her comrades on the political left. That's much more important to her and those like her than something so mundane as the truth.
I voted for her (mea culpa, mea culpa). Although not without reservation, due to the Clinton and Kerry connection. Her "more experienced, more progressive predecessor" was a Clinton superdelegate who declared before the primaries, thus signaling his willingness to override my vote (for Bernie, who won my, and Capuano's town). And then he wanted my vote the next election, like maybe it mattered after all? Fuck right off. Now we need a primary challenger for Pressley.
I know what he did. He actually believed people besides himself should be able to afford healthcare though, so that remained a major difference between them.
Then I can't imagine why he would have supported Clinton over Sanders.
However, compare and contrast with Warren. Also a Clinton superdelegate, who didn't lose my vote. She declared well after the primary was over, so she can legitimately say she went along with the will of the voters. No reason he couldn't have done the same. I'm long done with voting for candidates that have such obvious contempt for the voters that they're supposed to represent.
When will Ayanna Pressley fix her damn tweet? Pretty sure we know the answer is never. I'll bet she even CROSSED STATE LINES before writing it.

She has a black cooch, tho. Qualified her to beat her more experienced, more progressive predecessor.
