I’m assuming this is way back when there was the isreal missile shield vote. MTG was part of the opposition to it, AOC basically argued it was purely defensive so we should back it. IMO that’s one of AOCs worse takes on a subject that I’ve seen, when otherwise I would say I like AOCs stances 95% of the time.
Unfortunately, as a legislator sometimes you have to vote for something you’re against in order to get something you’re for. She’s not stupid, so there is definitely some hidden pressure there.
If we want to make any progress a lot of people are going to have to get over the idea that every politician has to be perfect 100% of the time on every issue.
I don’t know why AOC voted the way she did, and I don’t care.
If I agree with someone 51% of the time, I’ll vote for them.
Escaped slave Frederick Douglas supported Abe Lincoln over a candidate who was pushing for immediate abolition of slavery. Douglas knew that it was better to win and be able to influence the sitting President than to lose and have no power.
This post commenting on the disagreement was posted yesterday. Unless I’m missing something it sounds like it’s talking about the arguement with MTG over the Iron Dome, which was before MTG left her house seat.
Now maybe there’s a more recent issue this is commenting on that I missed. To my knowledge this is the only specific event where I could see someone arguing of Leftists taking MTGs side over AOC.
But the post is labeled May 9th 2026. The other two are 1d ago so presumably May 10th 2026. Why would it be talking about a vote that happened over a year ago?
What is this referencing specifically, “taking MTG’s side over AOC’s”?

not all issues are equal. backing genocide is a hard pill to swallow.
And chattel slavery isn’t?
Another thing that annoys me is that people act like them not voting is a powerful statement.
The GOP is working 24/7 to restrict voting, but BoTh SidES aRe THe SAme.
yes
And now you have five genocides going on, and the original one has been dialed up to 11.
ok? not sure how that makes doubling down on genocide ok but sure.
You’re not sure how five is larger than one?
not sure how 4+1 is better then 5
And I’m not sure where you got proof that Harris was going to do four.
Maybe you can provide actual proof and not just vibes?
Way back to yesterday, when it was posted?

MTG arguing her side of it back on July 2025.
