            but think of the optics 😭

            you can’t show that a loon from the republicans has more sense (in this one instance) than most democrats. you absolutely can’t 😭

                You joined the discussion of your own choice when you stated:

                Whatever, fuck mtg, can’t legitimize her bullshit

                Do you think Talib and others were wrong to support the amendment cutting funds to Israel?

          I didn’t ask you to. I think AOC voted wrong. I asked about Talib et al.

          Do you think Talib was incorrect in her vote? Do you think her voting to defund Israel was wrong?

          sure, something about a broken clock right twice a day. But progressive members of the democrats voted with MTG’s amendment because no one should be arming a genocidal state during a genocidal campaign to ethnically cleanse the Palestinian people. You care more about optics of not wanting to ‘hand it to MTG’ over the real experience of Palestinians?

          And only just a few democrats voted with MTG here.

          This just shows you how pathetic the democrats, except a few members are.

          Shame on AOC for voting against this during a genocidal campaign. Absolute shame. She has a lot of explaining to do for her so-called ‘progressive’ credentials.

      EDIT: That was rude, sorry.

      This is a bad take. Openly siding with a genocide is worse than taking sides against the genocide, even when mtg is the one who suggested taking their missiles away.

        This debate trap i didn’t want to have and that everyone’s trying to push towards. Nobody is siding with genocide.

        And let’s be honest, mtg is a genicider herself

      “Anti-Semites are opposed to Israel, so being opposed to Israel is legitimizing anti-Semites.”

      This is how you sound right now.
