cw violence
Got a lot less patience for this shit after listening to the story of that six year old Palestinian little girl bleeding out in the back of her car surrounded by her dead relatives bc she got shot by a tank and the IDF blew up the ambulance the red crescent sent after a 3 hour wait to receive an approved route from the israelis
Yeah, these fucking losers could’ve just said nothing and it would’ve been better
They’d still be complicit in the genocide but they may as well be Fetterman with the way they’re slobbering over genocide joe like this
This is just disgusting and honestly even though I hate him more, I genuinely have a bit more respect for the ogre himself for being open about his support for the genocide instead of doing this weasel bullshit
Oh it’s so much worse. She was on the phone with emergency services the whole time
I knew this thing was awful but that story was just so visceral and enraging. Real John Brown hours
Oh I remember listening to call and the person talking to the kid. It was really harrowing.
Yeah fuck all these hand waving liberals and their constant grand standing. " Vote for biden or else trump will do away with everything " = we will never do anything nor stop anyone else from doing it, but we will cry.
Aoc’s turn from dem social who is begrudgingly pro Biden to completely neolib in the span of 4 years is insane
Takes a rare streak of courage to fight for the public good and against your own material interests
It’s easy to be a “socialist” when you’re slinging cocktails for subsistence wages. Much harder when you’re being interviewed on late night, wearing designer gowns to the met gala, etc.
She was only a bartender for 6 months and she was an intern for some bigwig dem before that

This is beautiful. I’m actually inspired to make a gore piece based on this.
Is she fucking serious wtf
Loser slams effort to lower the odds of losing. Film at 11.
The people saying we can “push left” these people were lying this whole time?
They told us we can push Biden to the left and it turns out we can’t even keep AOC to stay on the “left”
An entirely predictable trajectory
Optics: Terrible
Unity: Fractured
Consent: Manufactured
If Biden doesn’t win, AOC can’t get a press photo of her crying outside of the Gaza fence. Think of the fundraising.
morally: fucked
tactically: inane
strategically: disastrous
yep, its radlib time
I think even calling her a radlib is too much credit
Nah this is quintessential radliberalism.
i downgraded it from socdem already, think her cred is enough for radlib classification
AOC has a Trump-like cult of personality around her. There are people who think everything she says and does is pure genius, even when it completely betrays all supposed leftist principles.
All because she played Amogus once
but she’s just doing what the unions want her to do
I think it’s more than that. She positioned herself early on as an Everyman type of person who’s just like your typical millennial/zoomer with playing on stream a part of it.
People who are new to politics see AOC as the strongest left-wing voice. Her being a woc probably also helps.
Maybe the real was AOC all along
I’m glad that someone is standing up for our poor president. God bless you AOC
She’s aiming to become both the first latino woman and the youngest vice-president, and shortly after president in U.S history

it’d be funny if they were both hooplahing for biden on a gamble of becoming president via the vice-presidential seat but biden decides in a complete upset declares Nancy Pelosi as his new Vice-presidential runningmate, wins office and dies on day one
Pelosi gets the heart-attack gun on day two and then we welcome President Chump Fuckley (R, Missouri) because Democrats didn’t bother to get their succession order lined up.
Very bizarre hill to die on given that even Obungler wants Biden to resign
You know, at least if AOC and Bernie sold out to Biden for his (empty) promises to withhold weapons from Israel or push harder for a ceasefire… I would respect that. But what did they actually get? Promises to make marginal changes to the Supreme Court? Just pathetic.
She wants you to vote for Kamala.
“If you’re falling out of a coconut tree, God bless you” - AOC
This is going to sound like a tinfoil hat theory to defend her actions so lemme say she’s dumb as fuck, a huge dissapointment and a certified lib.
I think her and Bernie are trying to triangulate (poorly)
It’s a bunch of power seeking dems calling for biden to drop out based on horserace bullshit, nobody’s actually arguing to replace him with somebody with better politics just better optics of not being the fucking crypt keeper.
I think bernie and AOC think they’re being very clever by advocating for biden so that when he does eventually step down and then his replacement loses anyway they can say “can’t blame us progressives for this one we were saying he should stay”
Unfourtunatly their plan boils down to getting liberals to stop blaming them for everything by becoming turbo libs.
Or they could just say nothing and accomplish the same thing
Not really, seems like he’s going to get replaced if he has to be dragged out screaming so they want to be on the record advocating for him because in this scenario they think the statements won’t affect the actual outcome but in hindsight they can say they weren’t the one “splitting the party”
If they said nothing people would just say it was the progressives (I know, meaningless descriptor) that called for biden to be replaced and cost the dems another election.
Again they’re making the mistake of trying to argue withing dems framework where Clinton ran a great campaign and leftists were just to sexist to support her.
There is no scenario in which they won’t get blamed. The democratic machine will invent some justification for punching left

I think they may also be triangulating that since everyone is against Biden, if he wins everyone else will have burned their bridges with him but the progressive wing (Bernie/AOC) will have had his back.
The problem with this is that Biden is the only guy who could actually lose to Trump, even with the assassination attempt. Any generic democrat they pick to replace him will probably beat Trump, so all they’re doing is tying themselves to ship that will either sink now or in November.
I would say that there must be something they feel they get out of supporting Biden but that would assume they’re savvy politicians, which they don’t really seem to be
