You fucking morons
This is never going to die, is it
For the uninitiated: MTG’s amendment left intact the funding for offensive weapons, but cut the funding for defensive weapons for Israel. So there is literally no way AOC could win. Leaving aside the fact that it was a kooky MTG amendment that was never going to pass in the first place… If she voted for the amendment, then everyone who is currently screaming that she’s a fake leftist who supports genocide could say “See? SHE VOTED FOR KEEPING ISRAEL’S FUNDING INTACT, SHE SUPPORTS GENOCIDE!” Since she voted against it, they are currently screaming “See? SHE VOTED AGAINST DEFUNDING ISRAEL, SHE SUPPORTS GENOCIDE!”
It’s just more can’t-win, let’s-eat-the-leftest-person-because-we’re-super-leftist-I-promise horseshit.
Edit: Here’s AOC voting against funding for Israel, in bills that were actually non-Hobson’s-choice opportunities to vote against aid for Israel:
And her voting against the actual funding bill providing aid to Israel (both offensive and defensive): https://clerk.house.gov/Votes/2025212
And why exactly is “because fuck MTG” not a good enough reason?
As always, bills are packed full of shit so trying to catch a win in one aspect is always tied to agreeing with something else entirely against your ideology. Fuck this ferrying, coat-tail tugging, crosslinked system.
Here we go not letting perfect be the enemy of good. Fucking morons, you get what you deserve. We’re so cooked it’s not even funny.
We’re so cooked it’s not even funny.
We’ve been through worse than this. You’re not wrong, but also, this is not the end of the story, never has been.
Oh, well if the vandals say it then it must be true.
This is why the left will always fail.
