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.
i thought we were talking about AOC publicly backing giving arms to isreal. Harris would have been just as guilty as biden, as she said herself. would she have been as bad as trump ? of course not, which is why i voted for harris. but that does not mean she gets a pass, and neither does AOC. whomst we are actually talking about. and my main point being that her stance is hard to swallow. nothing more. i will be looking for someone better in the mean time

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?

If you’re not sure what the conversation is about, you are allowed to ask for clarification.
