Probably absolutely. As we saw before, they manufacture their votes--people actually voting for them doesn't have to happen. They love ballot stuffing!!
Let’s not forget AOC calling for violence agaiICE and the next day an IVE facility was attacked. That was a few years ago now but Dems have been doing this shit for awhile. Waters and others have called for violence against Reps many times.
Real answer? Because it doesn't meet the elements of incitement.
Speech is incitement if it is (1) intended to produce imminent lawless action, and (2) likely to produce such action.
This intent element (the first) is hard to prove. She would argue that she didn't intend to produce riots. She said "we will fight for the right to control our bodies" and "we should defy the Supreme Court". These words aren't likely intended to produce unlawful conduct (because "fight" generally can be interpreted in context to mean by voting or by other political means) and also fail to meet prong two, as they are not likely (at least, the words alone) to produce unlawful action.
It's frustrating because they impeached Trump for saying "we are gonna fight like hell" but it's also why Trump was not convicted, because it wasn't incitement either.
Do dems really think this will gain them support in next elections?

The game is rigged, that's why!

Double standards, but not illegal per se.
I think because it is one way to Gitmo and her flight still has seats available.
Yeah, wondering the same.
... and AOC?
Her own mind is her prison
Its (d)ifferent when they do it silly Two sets of rules and two sets of justice
