    Depends on the Democrats you’re talking about.

    The conservative Obstructionist Democrats are the only ones I have an issue with. By contrast, AOC, Jamaal Bowman, Summer Lee etc. all Democrats I can work with, np.

      AOC unfortunately showed her true colors recently when confronted by pro-palestine protestors. Very disappointing. Luckily Bernie has been nothing but consistent.

        Not sure what you’re referring to, she’s been a consist voice for the student protestors and Palestine. You’ll need to be specific.

        AOC is still fine, and has started accumulating actual power for the progressive caucus through her weilding of funding. That’s why there’s constant attempts to make her out to be some phoney, she’s effective.

          I’d love to believe that. But she did take forever to acknowledge the genocide. Are you saying videos like this of which there are MANY are faked to split her support?

            It’s almost like liberals all want palestine wiped off the face of the earth or something🤔🤔🤔

                The same, but faster and with a lot more direct support. I’m agreeing with you that AOC isn’t a good ally to Palestine, I also don’t know of any liberals that are any better. I’m clearly not advocating to vote for Republicans who wanna “finish the job”, I’ll prob still vote for Biden even, I just hate that almost all Democrat voters and politicians are so desperate to cover up the evil shit being done by the IDF with American weapons, and are convinced acknowledging that will make Biden lose (tbh they might be right, I get the strong feeling most democrats wouldn’t vote for Biden if he did anything meaningful to slow down genocide in Gaza)
