Do you think Ilhan Omar, Rashida Talib, Al Green and Summer Lee were incorrect in their vote?
This is less about endorsing MTG and more about the 429 members of Congress who voted in favor of supplying missiles to Israel.
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?
Years ago the democrats (and obviously the republicans) have shown how vile they are against Palestinians.
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.
You do, in fact, gotta hand it to her.
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 😭
We have to pretend this theater actually matters and participate in debate broing
You joined the discussion of your own choice when you stated:
Do you think Talib and others were wrong to support the amendment cutting funds to Israel?
No.
literally not a single person has asked or suggested you to do so
Yeah, I literally woke up just to be combative. Sorry.
i'm okay no worries dawg, i could have more politely phrased it too but yeah nobody's handing her nothin' imo. hope your day goes good
Voting to continue funding Israel is good actually
