The Democratic Socialists of America pulled its endorsement of Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York this week, accusing the progressive congresswoman of being insufficiently supportive of the Palestinian cause and efforts to end the war in Gaza…

Her approach has increasingly strained her relationship with some of the left’s most strident critics of Israel. When she rallied last month in the Bronx with Senator Bernie Sanders and Representative Jamaal Bowman, dozens of pro-Palestinian demonstrators angry over her endorsement of Mr. Biden chanted “You’re a fraud, A.O.C.”

    She advocates for keeping Genocide Joe instead of swapping him out. Her actions have disproven her words.

      There is a spectrum of political discussion that is more nuanced than that.

      I too oppose the sale of arms to and have always opposed the apartheid state that Israel has built. If there’s any chance of replacing Biden and not ending up with Trump that is what I want.

      I am however 100% certain that Trump will encourage an escalation and wholesale destruction of the Palestinian state and advocate for the rounding up of the Palestinian diaspora. Trump would empower Bibi to escalate to taking over Libya and Trump has openly advocated for war with Iran. Iran, one of the few countries rendering aid to Hamas right now.

      Biden is misguided and naive that he thinks Bibi will not exterminate the Palestinians. Trump wants nothing more than to pave Palestine into an Amusement park. Don’t get this shit twisted.

        At this point there is no reason to even keep Biden except literally wanting to lose to Trump and/or having the Genocide supporter in charge after the election.

        I have consistently opposed Biden but even for liberals that want to play the system, endorsing Biden as the candidate when they can swap him out is contradictory to everything they stand for.

          These are bold claims, I’ve edited my comment above with supporting articles. Do you have any supporting evidence for your claims?

              I’ve been known to shitpost here and there, look at my comment history for proof of that. However, I always atleast try to start from a position of good faith and extend that assumption to whoever I’m disagreeing/discussing/arguing with here on Lemmy. Even routine shitposters and what some consider trolls.

              We’re all humans out here. I try not to amplify divisive politics.

          Foreign policy of USA and Israel is aligned so much that it’s irrelevant who comes becomes president of USA.
