cw violenceGot 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

    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.

    If Biden doesn't win, AOC can't get a press photo of her crying outside of the Gaza fence. Think of the fundraising.

    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 amogus

    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.

    She's aiming to become both the first latino woman and the youngest vice-president, and shortly after president in U.S history

    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.

    The article doesn’t even mention the strange claim AOC makes about Ohio making deadlines for the ballot before the DNC announces their nomination and how the republicans could challenge them for replacing the nominee. Odd behavior.

    They changed that law but the feeling is still embedded in libs everywhere, so the talking point has done what it needed to

    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.

    She and Bernie are burning whatever goodwill they had built up over the years. I wonder if she’ll be a “firebrand” again if Trump wings again like she was during his presidency.

    It seems like January 6 really shook her and she began to turn even more liberal after that. She was already pretty liberal though, calling reading theory classist and defending Obama. This outcome was bound to happen.

    Lol, I want Biden to stay the candidate becuase I think it will be really funny to see how bad it gets by November, also being constantly humiliated and abused for 5 months is the least that this man deserves.

    AOC wants Biden to stay the candidate for much stupider and more childish reasons.

    The winning move if you're a careerist and opportunist is to be a lukewarm Biden loyalist in public while hoping he dies before election day in private. Even if he were to step down, it's pretty easy to pivot from a lukewarm Biden loyalist to "we must support the new candidate against Trump." However, AOC is shilling for Biden a bit more than what a lukewarm Biden loyalist would do. This is surprising.
