Ocasio-Cortez Loses the Democratic Socialists’ Endorsement Over Israel - eviltoast
The New York congresswoman was blamed for not being supportive enough of the Palestinian cause and efforts to end the war in Gaza.

The Democratic Socialists of America pulled its endorsement of Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York this week, accusing the progressive congresswoman of being insufficiently supportive of the Palestinian cause and efforts to end the war in Gaza…

Her approach has increasingly strained her relationship with some of the left’s most strident critics of Israel. When she rallied last month in the Bronx with Senator Bernie Sanders and Representative Jamaal Bowman, dozens of pro-Palestinian demonstrators angry over her endorsement of Mr. Biden chanted “You’re a fraud, A.O.C.”

    lmao, and here I thought I was criticizing your view on how punishing Biden is more important than Palestinian lives

    You assumed that was my view. It is not.

    It’s pretty telling that you want Biden to step down for bein’ old, but lose your absolute shit when anyone says that he should stop supporting genocide.

          lmao. So you don’t actually have anything and you’re talking out of your ass, because you hate it when it’s pointed out that more genocide is actually a bad thing. Cool. Good talk.

            Any genocide is a bad thing. Democrats should not be supporting it at all. Yet here we are. Now keep working on getting that ice floe ready for Biden because you evidently think bein’ old is more of a problem than supporting genocide.

              Yeah. Here we are. And we have to deal with the situation at hand, not as we wish it to be.

                But he should also step down because he’s old. You have one set of standards for things Biden can change and another for things he can’t. And they’re backwards. You fault him for what he can’t change and attack any criticism of what he can change but has chosen not to.

                  No. He should step down because he’s lost the confidence of his party.

                  You have one set of standards for things Biden can change and another for things he can’t.

                  He SHOULD stop supporting the genocide, but that doesn’t look likely. He SHOULD step down, and that looks like it might plausibly happen.

                    So you’re allowed to criticize Biden for being old (which is the reason he is facing wide-spread criticism right now. that’s the confidence you are talking about, unless there is some other narrative I am unaware of), but not for genocide. Huh.

                    That confidence was already eroded because of his support for genocide.

                    He SHOULD stop supporting the genocide

                    And it follows that people who call for him to stop are all fascists who want Trump to win, somehow. It’s nice that you can actually admit that he’s supporting genocide.
