    Get off the internet. You are extremely overestimating the support for Palestine among the average American voter. This place is not at all representative of the American public.

    AIPAC would have ratfucked her and tanked her campaign had she come out strong against Israel.

    Look at the shit Ilhan Omar had to put up with for daring to simply bringing up Israel’s financial interests in the US…

    She even signaled a day or so before election day, to anyone paying attention, that she would be harder on Israel. At the last minute so as to not give AIPAC enough time to blow up her campaign.

      Not true. I think it was something like 55% of us Republicans that opposed sending more arms to Israel, and it was over 60% of Democrats.

      The number is much higher for leftists, of course.

          Or maybe I understood that first we had to get her elected, and then we pressure her re: Palestine. Since she was the only one who could ever possibly change positions.

          Try living in the real world. Well I guess you have no choice now. In two months you’re gonna find out real quick just how stupid you’ve been.

          I hope you’re honest enough to admit it.

            The only pressure you wanted to apply is to move to the right and genocide Palestine faster. You’re getting your fondest wish from the Trump administration.

            Try living in the real world. Well I guess you have no choice now. In two months you’re gonna find out real quick just how stupid you’ve been.

            You kept interpreting warnings as Trump support in bad faith, because there is no circumstance in which you want Democrats to move any direction other than as far to the right as possible.

      Telling other people to get off the internet while making claims that are SO EASILY GOOGLED TO SEE THEY ARENT TRUE is such an insane take. Bruh, you need to shut the fuck up forever and stop spreading this idea that both parties had to be pro genocide and there was no other option. That attitude is not just idiotic, it’s literally killing people.
