Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) joins Meet the Press exclusively to discuss President Biden’s re-election campaign and the divide within the Democratic Party over the war in Gaza.
Honestly, I dont feel like listing out everything. The entire point of justice democrats / progressives was to go against the establishment. Yet they are voting with these ghouls every time. Even on issues like Palestine, they continually drop the ball. I am done with them. They have no intention of improving things.
She’s pretty consistently been against genocide in Palestine
It’s just that she doesn’t get to decide when the rest of the establishment goes along with it
And this is why progressives struggle so much. Idealism is great but not always compatible with reality. Compromises have to be made, and you have to redo your strategies when you see how the sausage is actually made. I suspect if you won an election to be a House representative, people you currently agree with would come to see you as a sell out too, simply for adjusting your tactics to meet the new reality you see.
Not supporting a genocide is a low fucking bar. If you can compromise on the annihilation of innocent children, you are a shit person and don’t deserve a vote. Please be fucking serious.
Cozying up to power.
You have anything more concrete than that?

You don’t vote in favor of something you’re against. Either she’s a liar or a coward.
