      sure, something about a broken clock right twice a day. But progressive members of the democrats voted with MTG’s amendment because no one should be arming a genocidal state during a genocidal campaign to ethnically cleanse the Palestinian people. You care more about optics of not wanting to ‘hand it to MTG’ over the real experience of Palestinians?

      And only just a few democrats voted with MTG here.

      This just shows you how pathetic the democrats, except a few members are.

      Shame on AOC for voting against this during a genocidal campaign. Absolute shame. She has a lot of explaining to do for her so-called ‘progressive’ credentials.

      I didn’t ask you to. I think AOC voted wrong. I asked about Talib et al.

      Do you think Talib was incorrect in her vote? Do you think her voting to defund Israel was wrong?

        but think of the optics 😭

        you can’t show that a loon from the republicans has more sense (in this one instance) than most democrats. you absolutely can’t 😭

            You joined the discussion of your own choice when you stated:

            Whatever, fuck mtg, can’t legitimize her bullshit

            Do you think Talib and others were wrong to support the amendment cutting funds to Israel?
