International AOC is the biggest Sellout - Just Voted Yes to more Military Aid to Israel

[HereticBD]

So you would rather a person like AOC, a person who already gets smeared by right wingers, liberals, and the media, she should have given them a free shot at her over a meaningless bill that was never going to pass?

That doesn't make much sense. What is more damaging to her brand? Publicly professing a whole bunch of love and sympathy for Palestine, and then voting to give more weapons to Israel, or actually standing behind what she supposedly believes in and has sold to her base? I don't think Republicans attacking her for voting against Israel would have much of an effect on her politically(in terms of public support). Pissing off her base by what will be viewed as a great betrayal? That might do some damage.

For what? To show she is against a genocide she has repeatedly said she is against?

But if she truly believes that, and believes that is what Israel is responsible for, she would not be voting for more military aid for Israel. That goes for anybody who voted for it, while talking out the side of their mouths over this shit. It's quite the contradiction.

Are we not aware that people like her, Bernie, or Omar are an extremely tiny majority of elected government and don't have much power to change things by vote?

I think the point is that if you profess to hold certain principles, a thing like politics shouldn't get in the way of them. The bill was gonna pass with or without her vote, so what would be the downside of her voting against it? Getting attacked by the pro-Israel crowd like she already has?

Seems to me she's more concerned with outside factors that could hurt her, like donors. To that end, it would be fair to call her a two faced politician bowing down to the almighty dollar, rather than some renegade that is trying to actually change things.

I am in her district all the time for work. It's amazing she is always in the news and The Bronx is a fucking shithole. She has done squat for her people. What a grift. Not a cleaned-up park. Not tried to lower crime. No job creation. No way to keep people cool in the heat wave so people are filling the streets with hydrant water. I was speaking to a guy yesterday that said when it gets hot, they should bring in the National Guard. Thats how nuts it gets at night in the heat.

Weird.
I thought she hated Israel like the other squad members. She must be breaking from them.

She must be considering a Presidential run.

she has been criticised for her Israel-Palestine positions from the left, right and center for years. She takes a pro-Palestinian stance that pisses off the New York liberals and irritates zionists but she doesn't go far enough in her criticism so she also pisses off the left on that issue. There has been talk that she has been straddling the fence as of late because the DNC threatened to redistrict her seat to include the Jewish vote. The left has been generally forgiving because she's the most viable figure closest to their positions remaining - the others aren't popular enough and Bernie is fucking old and going to be gone soon.

The 'Squad' isn't a voting block. Just a bunch of relatively young non-white reps. Ayanna Pressley is considered part of the squad and she's just a lib, not even a leftist. So there really isn't any 'breaking' from them.
