    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

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

              Well who would you endorse? Nobody? With an incumbent Democrat and for party optics, would you want to go into the next election unorganized? Especially if you can actually influence policy before and after re-election. How is open pressure to change policy not good enough? If its not effective you don’t stop pushing. We have already seen the alternative; you arent going to get that with a trump presidency, and he has been clear on his policy regarding Palestinian.

              For us, as voters, undecided is by the best that we can do, and honestly voice to our Democratic representatives that this needs to change
