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.”
The easiest way to piss off pugjesus is to expect politicians to oppose genocide everywhere, not just at home.
Oh, lol, is pugjesus a known troll?
No, he just hasn’t beaten his internalized American Exceptionalism yet.
Sorry that genocide at home upsets me. Unlike you enlightened types, I happen to think that MORE genocide is actually BAD, especially when it’s not even to prevent another genocide, but solely out of petulant spite. But hey, what do the lives of minorities matter to you? You have your ideals to uphold, right?
Sorry that you feel the need to advocate for genocide abroad.
“God, I can’t wait to make the Palestinian genocide worse! That will really help the Palestinians being genocided!”
You have fun with “Fascism is left praxis now”, those of us who aren’t fascists will carry on trying to save as many lives as we can.
As long as none of those lives are in Gaza.
Tell me more about how many lives you’re going to save in Gaza by putting Trump in power. Tell me more about how Trump definitely hasn’t declared his intention to intensify American support for the genocide in Gaza. Tell me more about how many Palestinian lives that’s going to save.
Oh. Of course. You don’t give a fuck about Palestinian lives.
And the assumption that anyone who is critical at all of Biden’s support for the genocide must be a trumpist.
Since you can’t defend your advocacy for genocide any other way, you have to spam false accusations against anyone who dares to insist that the lives of Gazans have value even when a Democrat is president.
Oh, of course, you don’t SUPPORT a Trump presidency, you’re just interested in passively allowing it, and all the genocide that it entails. When we go in the camps, you’ll sit happy at home and muse on just how moral you’ve managed to be by fighting the Dem candidate at every turn.
You’re almost indistinguishable from the fascists that support him. Certainly indistinguishable in your disregard for Palestinian and American minority lives.
Me: “Israeli is a genocidal apartheid state, we should remove all aid.”
Clearly this is the position of a genocidal maniac.
But tell me more about how purity testing AOC, one of the leftmost and pro-Palestinian politicians in our legislature, is a GOOD thing for Palestine, Actually.
That is the position you have now called me a fascist twice for holding.
The only reason Biden is sending fewer weapons to Israel than Trump might, is because he is marginally responsive to the criticism you denounce people for.
Genocide at home upsets you … except when I mention the AIDs crisis and you claim that Trump is a uniquely terrible politician.
