Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez had called for a permanent cease-fire in the war between Israel and Hamas, but had resisted labeling the conflict a genocide.
I don’t know about Democrats being into a God Emperor Biden as that was more of an Obama thing. And even with Obama I don’t think it ever hit the level of Trump. Trump fandom truly is special and not in a good way.
Bernie “Zion” Sanders? Bernie “Israel has a right to defend itself” Sanders?
It’s so disheartening to go from feeling like even if we lacked substantial representation on the left at least there were a couple people on Capitol Hill making some noise for us, to feeling just completely alienated from the entire project of electoral politics in the US. I guess there are still some folks in the House we can raise up.
He’s the sole Senate vote against sending military aid to Israel. Just because he hasn’t called it a genocide does not mean he supports Israel. It’s not an either/or equation.
Fake squad members like Ilham Omar have turned to pretending AIPAC is a Republican problem. Ignoring that Democrats receive AIPAC bribes as well. Probably even more. Recently saw a Lemmy poster repeating this same BS propaganda about AIPAC being a GOP thing.
Same as with AOC and Bernie. They endorse Biden and deflect criticism of the Genocide to Republicans. Full well knowing that it’s Biden currently responsible for the secret weapon shipments and the only reason israel is able to continue their Genocide. It’s a giant pile of hypocrisy.
Only Rashida Tlaib put her money where her mouth is. The rest of the squad members went mask off and proved themselves to just be controlled opposition.
The criticism is because it took us months and thousands of deaths to get here. We can be happy they have come around and critical of them for taking this long.
They’re still pleading for people to vote for Biden while Biden is actively supplying weapons for the Genocide and not doing anything to stop the Genocide.
Don’t get me wrong, I’m fine with this rethoric after the Genocide ends. But not while Biden is actively complicit.
Goalposts… she should wait until the genocide ends to criticize Biden over his response? The rhetoric is that he should end complacency in relations with Israel
Wow only took her five months of Genocide and 32.00 Palestinians killed.
Now she’s lost all face with the actual left and more than 50% of Democrats already believe israel is committing Genocide, she turns around. Amazing.
Did Bernie say the scary word yet? Or is he still complicit?
ITT so many hurt Liberals downvoting but not commenting.
There are people with whom arguing is sterile.
(of a discussion, an argument, etc.) not producing any useful result synonym fruitless a sterile debate
Well, I learned a new way to use that weird. Thanks!
They care more about God Emperor Biden winning from God Emperor Trump than the fact that Biden is supporting Genocide.
Both parties are now filled with brainless drones that will endorse anything their side does as long as the other side does not win.
Nope. We just accept the win when we get a politician to pivot or advance to the place we think they should be.

What’s your beef with Ilhan Omar? I take your point on AIPAC.

Im pretty sure the headline I just read has “Biden” and “Isreal” and “Genocide”

She should certainly not endorse Biden while he is still actively complicit in Genocide. Nobody should.
