Apparently that was a procedural requirement, as their rules require a nomination for every candidate who passed the delegate threshold.

Yes, it is, that's the way it works, I wasn't trying to hide that fact. But, what I took away from the video was that she never even mentioned Biden and that is an unwritten rule.
Rep. Ocasio-Cortez doesn't mention Biden at DNC, nominates Sanders for president
Ocasio-Cortez says the movement led by Sanders strived 'to recognize and repair the wounds of racial injustice, colonization, misogyny and homophobia.'

She was given only one minute for her remarks, Biden obviously did not make the cut.
He's the nominee, he deserves a mention, or at least that's my opinion. There is a lot a person can say in a minute. But that's how a clueless rookie congressman is expected to act.
She is clueless all right, but the way things stands now, it is Biden who should be courting AOC's followers, not the other way around.
Gentlemen, just out of curiosity, what makes you so sure AOC is that clueless? Do I detect a whiff of sexism here?
I think she is quite an accomplished young woman. Didn't she after all almost singlehandedly drive Amazon and its thousands of well-paying jobs out of Queens?
I think it's worth noting that AOC will turn 35 in October 2024, just before the next election.

^^^^^ Sorry but find your response funny. If she was a male I would still say complete idiot.
Google AOC gaffs and fill your boots.

Don’t think it was a rookie move to not mention Biden, likely deliberate. She’s Bernie’s lacky. U boys don’t remember how Bernie stiffed biliary in ‘16!?! U all need aricept
STN,
I think you need to check your sarcasm reader.
I doubt Miss Theresa is a huge fan of AOC.
Or maybe I am the one that misunderstood your post lol.

She just won her own primary, didn't she? Getting 75% of the votes or so. She may well be a total idiot, but if so, that's exactly what the people in her district are looking for and expecting of their representative.
So, again, she may not be the smartest cookie in the jar, but I would not call her clueless. She obviously knows her electorate very well.
Why? Is there any flaw in my reasoning? My point is she is a politician, not a rocket scientist (I hope she's not), and so far a quite successful one. Who cares if she's smart or dumb? Her voters are happy and just voted to send her back to Congress, what else matters?
OK, so your serious. Before you had accused us of being sexist because I called her a clueless congressman. There are clueless people of all genders, pulling the sexist card is a weak argument, especially because sexism had nothing to do with it. You then said she was quite an accomplished woman because she siglehandely drove Amazon along with its thousands of paying jobs out of Queens. That would be an example of a failure. So yes, I thought you couldn't be serious. Her "success" will be short lived if NY and it's boroughs continue to be shot up and criminalized all while she is looking to defund the very organizations that would end the crime and bring NY back to what it was before she became so "successful".
I think she was counting on the majority of the voters being in one of those categories as well.
I am not sure if she was really "counting" on anything or just winged it on pure intuition. Amounts to the same thing really. 75% of the vote is beyond impressive, isn't it? This is Lukashenko territory, if not (yet) Kim Jong-un. That is what I judge her "success" on, not her future career path.
I am not sure she will ever be as popular with the people as Lukashenko or Kim Jong- un.
These leaders clearly have the heart and sole of the people or at least they are likely to take it if not given willingly.
She certainly looks way better than either one of them.
She is one weird lady, with strange ideas, would have made a great running mate for Comrade Bernie.
