AOC has a public history. It's not good.

Her congessional voting record is only the trailer to her movie. Public statements and public appearances also tell a story, but the most dramatic part of her history are the public statements and appearances she *didn't* make, and the people and issues she didnt support. Campaign funding and fundraising that most people arent aware of are also publicly accessible, but people conditioned to believe a particular narrative will not look up anything critical of that narrative.

MSM is the main, and worse, source of political information, imo. It is the primary source of propaganda by design. That is what most of the conditioned electorate, the majority on both sides, watches, reads, and hears about from their trusted co-workers, friends, and even their warm and fuzzy millionaire TV comics with a desk and a political platform.

The only thing that is important is someone's actual record and their donors.

Regarding Donors: people talk about bribery but the average person cant wrap their heads around coercion and how that part of politics actually works. Once you cash their big campaign check, you never speak out against them. Either way, Once you are famous, you are told to stay in line...and you do.

You are up against blind genocidal party apparatchiks who reside on the same American capitalist political spectrum as the Orange guy, and it is just killing them because they don’t know how to get off their merry-go-round. After all rhey are carefully trained to do as they are told.

You are correct, neither AOC nor Kamala opposed genocide and arming Israel. They were not fooled, they are complicit.

It’s absurd that AOC, Bernie Sanders, Cory Booker, Hakeem Jeffries, Kamala Harris, and others are seen as saviors from Trump. Saviors from a fascism they allowed to fester for years as long as it didn’t interfere with their political careers.

The masses are so desperate to oppose Trump that they return to weak-ass, unprincipled Democratic grifters who have repeatedly capitulated. They’re not saviors. They’re also the fucking oligarchs.

Why call for Chuck Schumer to step down and not the other Democrats?

The masses that oppose Trump need to consider other political methods. Fuck the “Team Blue” and “Team Red” plantation.

AOC is a Democratic operative. She’s a tool of the empire. A performer. At this point the entire Congress are performing. Particularly Trump. They’re just waving their arms around pretending they’re on fire. Meanwhile the non-performing people are doing the business of empire. Which includes genocide, assuring access to resources, providing weapons, paying bribes, assassination as needed, etc.

This was less then a year ago⁉️ The Democrats AOC and Bernie to start are just dusting off the old rhetoric. They’ll do nothing for us. Pay attention.

It was clear AOC was lying back before the election.

This is still the issue the progressive leaders in Congress are the furthest away from their base on.

Progressives don't think the apartheid state of Israel has a right to defend itself against Palestinians living under their occupation. The whole October 7th propaganda narrative needs to be corrected. Bernie and AOC need to start aligning with their base better on this issue and apologize for supporting genocidal maniacs in Biden and Harris.

Genocide Joe is a disgrace and Bernie, AOC, and all progressives should've pushed way way harder to stop Biden's complicity in evil war crimes.

Thank you, we need an apology for this crap before I’m willing to forgive them— this is unacceptable, period, listen to us for the love of God on this issue. It’s one big part of why Dems have tanked in standing with their own damn nonwhite and young white base, FFS.

According to Open Secrets, Joe Biden led the list in donation from Israel donors and Harris was fourth.

So you decided she lied and provided absolutely no proof. How do you know she wasn’t misled? What are you trying to get out of writing this “article”?

I provided the proof from the recent report from Channel 13. No one with a brain would be "misled" in this manner. It was absolutely clear at the time that Harris did not support a ceasefire. She did not support an arms embargo.

You provided proof that the Biden admin lied. The rest of this is speculation and I’m just wondering what the point of it is.

If you listen to her speech, you can tell it's all lies about Harris. She did and would do none of the things AOC claimed. No one should be supporting AOC in this day and age.

That’s your opinion not fact and I don’t think it is the time to be publishing things pretending to be fact when they are what you interpreted based on your feelings.

So either AOC is a rube of the highest order or a liar. I don't think it's the former, but even if it was - your best argument is that she's a moron.

My argument is more that it is irresponsible to publish something that isn’t proven and is only based on an opinion.

Sarah, so you are saying that AOC has no contact at all with Harris, knows nothing about what she has done and has never even heard Harris say in a public interview that the only thing she'd do differently from Biden is invite a Republican into her administration? If AOC is that out of touch with the candidate she is advocating to the nation for then I would not trust her or ever vote for her. This article is very important for us because we need to keep in mind who we can and cannot trust, in the political machine, in order to make choices. And lately, I don't see anyone trustworthy in power.

It's irresponsible to emphatically claim an administration is "working tirelessly for a ceasefire" without any evidence or proof. Calling that out is righteous.

The point of it is to tell the truth about a politician, in this case AOC. Telling the truth is ALWAYS useful and valuable.

Oh for heaven's sake, Sarah! You are a used car salesman's dream. He could sell you a shoebox on wheels and you'd think you were driving a BMW.

While I don't believe for a moment AOC wasn't lying -- and thus facilitating a genocide -- let's say in response to the growing crisis and opposition to the ever-growing stacked bodies of babies and toddlers in Gaza she did find a corpuscle of morality and courage to call for the Biden/Harris administration to demand they immediately cease the slaughter.

Let's say she did so in private and was told no. Then why not take advantage of the MSNBC types and go to them, call out Biden and Harris and publicly demand a stop to the slaughter?

Silence is complicity and under international law, complicity with a war crime is itself a war crime.

Remember when AOC first ran she said she wasn't worried about reelection because doing the right thing was the only thing she was interested in?

AOC can run around and do her oligarchy act 24/7 but as long as she chooses -- and it is a choice -- to stay silent on ceasing OUR genocide in Gaza, everything else is hot air and lobbyist farts.

AOC, Biden/Harris, the entire Dem Congressional greed pack and DNC is beholding to and owned by the Zionist lobby. We have a government -- both parties -- owned by the Zionist lobby and directed by Bibi Netanyahu. Time to pull the whole rotted thing to the ground..

I don’t want to be the only one to ’go low’, but to me, and I believe also to Jimmy Dore and Glenn Greenwald, Congressperson Cortez earned lifetime achievement status as a phony after her performance at the Met Gala, having her dress train carried by an assistant wearing a mask while she bared her goofy grin to the cameras.

Of course she’s bought and sold, along with Harris and the whole gang. That’s never been in doubt.

Against genocide is suddenly FOR genocide because some right wing asshole decides criticism of Israel is the same as being for genocide. Logic is over in the corner consoling irony and compassion.

Why wouldn't you believe GenocideJoe, the Kamalacaust, and AOC's mob boss?

They all did exactly as those Israel Nazi fuks ordered their servants to do. Gave them all the kill machines they wanted and more. Even built the floating dock to assist with a mission to kill civilians. AOC also had a podcast of 2 Israel lobbyists to blow rotted hasbara up everyone's asses. You said nothing.

Why are you so weak to believe Israel's bought servants and not their mob bosses?
