    How do you know it does nothing? She appeared along side a very well known republican with a long track record and the republican was basically affirming everything she was saying and begging people to vote for her. There is no bringing them into the party its just a clear partnership to try and stop the threat that was trump. That is in no world similar to what is happening with MTG.

    The MTG situation is far worse because people like Ro Khanna and Ryan Grimm are sanewashing her. I’m sorry but saying MTG is credible because she spoke out against trump but did absolutely nothing with her power to punish Trump is beyond braindead. The populist left is already very conspiratorial and very well could get swayed to MTGs side we’re seeing that in real time watching them court MTG.

    AOC is as usual correct.

      You are abiding by pretend morality. This is the same excuse Democrats were using to support genocide in 2024: “No we cannot oppose Israel, people will interpret that as antisemitic”.

      The only way this type of “might be antisemitic” slander works is if everyone repeats it without question. In reality nobody cares.

      Would you actually be upset if AOC worked with MTG against Israel?
