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.”

Most of your comments here boil down to lame ad hominems and you wonder why people don't take you seriously?

Thats just not true. PugJesus is an ad-hominem machine and ya'll are as dense as yesterdays oatmeal when it comes to politics.

I made a point about how both Bernie and AOC have shifted politically and @pugjesus couldn't not do a personal attack. But once they does, gloves are off, because he's actually a fucking idiot when it comes to politics. Like literally couldn't distinguish his ass hole from a hole in the ground. Dont fucking hire them for your campaign: you will fucking lose. His opinions don't predict future states of the world. And they knows that. If you want to do politics and do it well, you have to be on the right side of things to begin with. Being a jonny-come-lately gets you nothing.

Take it back to the article. The DSA is an organization of idealistic socialists. OF COURSE they would rescind their endorsement. She hasn't show sufficient support, and so what if you think that doesn't matter. Its fine that you think that doesn't matter. But you aren't DSA. The point is that it matters for the DSA, an organization that made a huge fucking difference in getting her elected when it mattered and she had no power: 2018.

This inability for people to separate their identity from what happens in the world around them is why you are all so fucking bad at this.

Thats just not true

Did the comment I replied to not say "Dude you are a fucking idiot."? It's still undeleted in your profile.
