In fact she did so because her esteemed colleagues told her to heel. After the vote, she changes her position. Interesting.

Speculative.

To other users reading this: This user tends to argue in bad faith and I’d advise tagging them accordingly, but I’ll just clarify for the record:

AOC voted against that bill because it actually enabled offensive bombs to continue while gutting defensive Iron Dome measures. AOC has long been a proponent of defensive measures that protect civilian life, independent of national flags. However, given the latest number of loopholes that Israel has used, AOC has as of April 1st adjusted her position to refuse ALL military aid to Israel.

It’s honestly both striking and funny to me that someone who had denounced Harris under this same purity test now suddenly is saying the left should work with fascists because there is common ground.

lol wow. Just wow.

I guess that’s single-issue tankies for you.

But can we try two celebrity Democrats for a change before making up our minds?

The problem is more they were conservatives; less so their celebrity status. All Republican presidents sucked since Ike, celebrity or not.

The hate for Trump needs to expand to cover the entire Republican party.

Trump is symptomatic; not causal. His removal from office in any form will in no way shape or form stop the billionaire class from coronating someone else.

Bullshit.

celebrity/actor isn’t the issue.

It’s the content of one’s character. Jon Stewart has already proven himself very aware of the political state and being able to bully Congress into submission on behalf of vets and first-responders.

So yes, this is not a non-starter in any way shape or form, if we know they’re intelligent, authentic, charismatic, and empathetic.

What do you mean?

Ooh wait was this some sort of scorched earth plan? To fork SCOTUS into an all or nothing decision?

Though I’m sure the worst bench in SCOTUS history will find a way to thread the needle to letting only red states do this.

That is up to Zelenskyy; not bunker bitch.

^ For the record, bystanders note I have this user tagged as endorsing and voting for Jill Stein in 2024. So yeah… Thanks for that and falling for the right-wing spoiler vote kool-aid. The outcome of that was oh so fruitful, huh? lol

Edit: By the way, 24,400 comments in less than 3 years. Wow. Just wow. My dude is singlehandedly keeping Lemmy afloat lol

Better than 2000 Dr. Ozs!

And all the more reason to get involved in the Democratic primaries to get as many of those Fetterman out and improve our team.

Entropy is a bitch and I don’t take kindly to accelerationist volunteering me and my kids for the slaughter for their hunch.

No matter where you are, how secure or how futile you think it is, you better be voting Democrat in November.

If you’re upset by AIPAC or corporate shills, now is your chance to make Dems a little more leftist by participating in the Democratic Primaries in your state.

But vote Dem in November. Even if it’s a loss, we need to make the disparity of representation versus actual popular vote due to gerrymandering as wide as possible, for that will be a point of persuasion in the longterm fight ahead and going into 2028.

Dr. Fauci is a fucking American hero. Fuck Rand Paul and his eye doctor ass, pretending to be an infectious disease specialist.

In before SCOTUS declares US Constitution unconstitutional.

(too late?)

Honestly? I think for most they’re too far deep in the right-wing Matrix to be able to tell truth from lies. Many people don’t fully understand just how these people live in a completely alternate reality than the likes of you and me.

It has immediate impact and they cannot lie about the giant numbers in their face while they pump. Even the dumbest of people can grasp this.

It’s okay because they clearly earned it. Merit based society /s

By all means, after you.

(all take note: 1 month old account, probably right-wing bait bot).

I did! Pretty good interview, as well as the one he did with John Favreau. I’m cautiously optimistic, but I have flashbacks to Fetterman that I’m still traumatized by lol
