What a bunch of absolute horseshit. An elected representative shouldn't vote in line with their public declarations and stated position on an issue because that's inviting unnecessary flak? What horseshit. She should get 100 times the flak for this from her would-be supporters.
When the gamification of politics becomes more important than the actual substance and policies - especially wheb these policies relate to fucking genocide and forced starvation- what are we even talking about at this point? We've lost the plot 5 chapters back.
What a cowardly take. No offense, but this is high-school mean girls mentality as applied to international politics. Its pathetic. If AOC, or any other politician gets a pass and a tidy excuse from the electorate for so obviously abandoning any possible sense of an actual stance on an issue, they have zero business claiming to ve anything other than a business person, purely using political position as a leverage for personal gain - and again, this isnt some dry funding bill for a new water treatment plant or something. Its genocide, rocket attacks, starvation, the risk of descending into regional if not worldwide warfare. You cant hold the line on your publicly declared stance for this issue, because politicking is more important?
Booo-fucking-urns.
Absolute rat-fucks, the lot of them
