She's gone over the top many times before, including when she ridiculed Hillary Clinton before the 2016 election. It's understandable she'd be upset with what's going on. But she needs to act like a leader, and this really isn't it.
Where you been boo?! You think that the only Palestinian in congress, speaking for the plight of the people in Gaza (regardless of your opinion) shows a lack of leadership? It sounds like you want her to be more of a follower? Please tell me, what should she say? Because obviously she has to say something?
There's TinyPizza again. Like the neighborhood stalker.
I mean, we show up in the same places, but it's incidental. Does your neighborhood have stalkers where you're at? Like is that a thing? We talking voyeurs?
The conditioned projection is hard for them to suppress.
You think @Rapidcreek might stalk his neighborhood? I dunno, he seems nice. I suppose you never know whose stalking about though...
I mean she's not wrong. Bidens current stance of "support and ask questions later" is very much tantamount to supporting genocide. In the current situation the least you'd expect of the American president is to leave Israel to fend for itself, not send them aircraft carriers and military aid. For comparison in the 1980s Reagan (yes, Reagan) called the Israeli PM and basically ordered him to stop the bombing of West Beirut immediately. The bombing stopped in 20 minutes.
Sure, Biden is wrong to stop a regional war. You want KIA numbers? That's certainly the way to get them.
Well if they don't want KIA numbers they should stop genociding Palestinians. He offers way too much while demanding way too little.
So your suggestion is more dead. Doesn't make much sense.
No, he should demand (not ask nicely) that Israel stop their genocide in Gaza. The aid can come after that.
Trying to stop a regional war does not fit a time schedule.
Ah right, because acting like a leader means falling in line.
Acting like a leader means to consider how your language might move others perhaps in ways you don't want them to move.
How does her language not do that? Is it not polite enough? If a genocide occurs, which the UN is constantly warning about, then does the US and Biden, who have offered their full support, not hold any culpability in that? Perhaps I'm misunderstanding?
isn't that what is happening? I think you just want her to have different views
When You chant "From the River to the Sea" you are chanting the Terrorist's motto calling for Jewish genocide. If that is truly what she thinks she is doing a disservice to those she represents and the country.
Or "why centrists are really mad at her."
