But no AOC being mocked by commies is the real tragedy
Explain to me how AOC’s single vote could have stopped this.

When did I say it would’ve? Doing the right thing is not dependent on if you will stop a bad thing from happening. Voting against Iraq wouldn’t have stopped it. Opposing apartheid is the point of opposing apartheid. She wants understanding for not even being able to perform doing the right thing, meanwhile Palestinians are fucking murdered at that same time. The cost are the literal deaths happening as she cried or posted about why she couldn’t even vote “no”.
People are dying, voting no is not too much to fucking ask
Lol you post a random fucking tweet about a palestinian getting thier head blow clean off as if you you’re pinning the blame on AOC, but the moment I challenge you on that you immediatly turn around and demand that AOC performativly vote to stop funding Israel even though you admitted it still won’t do anything. It’s called performative for a reason, arguing over whether AOC should have voted yes or no over a vote she had no real say is no different then literally any other American bitching over which geriatric old white man is going to save America. Literally let it go and stop expecting AOC to be the teh epic communist everyone wants her to be and realize that she’s at best, a social democrat.

This has my vibe written all over it
What practical purpose could AOC serve if not to “performatively” vote for things that are unquestionably bad? Like, is there a stamp card where if she votes along with the party 10 times, the party leadership will support the GND or whatever?
Same reason as Bernie Sanders, they’re outnumber in every way shape and form, but Bernie and the Squad, for all the cringe shit they do did more to foster a leftist bloc in America moreso than SA, PSL and CPUSA combined, even if they aren’t leftist themselves. I know this sounds like some 4D chess shit but we wouldn’t be having this coversation had Bernie not stepped up to run for president back in 2015.

Sure, but those gains largely came from using their platform, which is also the extent to which I think electoralism is useful as a tactic. Which is exactly why I would like AOC to publicly oppose shit like this.
Fair point, but people memory-holed the Israel shit from a couple months ago pretty quick, why now people are “drawing a line in the sand for AOC” is just… stupid. Your all going to forget and AOC will retweet a Robert Reich tweet about inequality and everyone will forget why they were mad in the first place.

Well, there’s this $3.5T infrastructure bill that she’s got a slice of. Would be a shame if her share got accidentally nixed from the legislation because she couldn’t vote for Palestinian Baby Murder.
That’s the practical purpose of any House Rep. Sending money back to your district.
Notably, this objective could be accomplished just as well if her predecessor was still in office
The fact that she refused to explain or even acknowledge having changed her vote is probably like the last straw for me.
Like fuck off if you’re going to be that dishonest and just make rambling statements to distract everyone from your actions, please go collect your paycheck and never appear in left media circles again.
never appear in left media circles again
bold of you to assume she was ever left to begin with, shes a social democrat.

I dont think shes a leftist but she keeps showing up in leftist circles having a bunch of apologism thrown at her.
Like goddamn, if electoralism is so hard to do that you cant even do symbolic votes against ethnic cleansing I dont want any electoralism at all, why would anyone support electoralism if these circumstances are so impossible to even do anything in, and if the circumstances arent that tough then obviously AOC is not “the right kind” of electoralism.
the onion… missed?
