    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

      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.

    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.

      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.

        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.

    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.

    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.

        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.

      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
