Feel free to explain how
The Dems are still clutching onto their AIPAC funds, aren't they? Still fervently defending and funding Israel?
AOC is only now pivoting to the correct position. MTG got there before her.
So are Republicans. So why is AOC responsible for all Dems, but MTG isn't responsible for all Republicans?
The Republicans will never stop supporting Israel and their genocidal ways. The Democrats like to pretend they aren't as bad as Republicans while doing the same shit.
MTG was on the right messaging about Israel before AOC was. Period. That's all I was pointing out to you, but apparently that's difficult for you to understand.
No one said shit about who was better between Republicans and Democrats.
I thought the path there mattered, but I guess not when it's your girl MTG. Who gives a shit what someone that believes nothing says? Oh wiw a shit person said something you like to hear. They'll never actually vote for it or try to enact it, but hey you got to hear a comforting lie.
Could you try giving me something other than a nothing answer?
No, it’s not the path that matters, just the timing!
/s
No one is claiming that the timing is the only thing that matters here.
You think the “outflanking” being heralded is spatial?
Is it heralding or is it observation?
Do you just....not follow politics? MTG has voted in accordance with her recent position against Israel.
She's not my girl (though thanks for that sexist micro-aggression). I'm just not going to sit here and pretend that AOC is the bearer of all truth and that she didn't vote to fund defensive spending in Israel last year.
Sorry you're upset with facts.
I can't answer you so I'll just call you sexist instead. Cool.
Calling grown women girls is sexist.
I did answer you, it's not my fault you can't understand.
