The Democratic Socialists of America pulled its endorsement of Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York this week, accusing the progressive congresswoman of being insufficiently supportive of the Palestinian cause and efforts to end the war in Gaza..

Her approach has increasingly strained her relationship with some of the left’s most strident critics of Israel. When she rallied last month in the Bronx with Senator Bernie Sanders and Representative Jamaal Bowman, dozens of pro-Palestinian demonstrators angry over her endorsement of Mr. Biden chanted “You’re a fraud, A.O.C.”

Yeah bruh, I’m a pragmatist. Israel sucks, but even more Palestinians will die unless we keep trump and the republican traitor filth out of office.

How will this allow trump and Republican party filth into office?

The official answer to that is "shut up."

EDIT: Sorry. "Shut up and pretend you're happy."

DSA: "hey, Biden sucks because he lets genocide happen"

Rational person: "well, I don't like genocide... who's the alternative?"

Dem party: ...... Biden is our candidate ....

Rep party: Trump Trump Trump!!!!

What they don't tell you is that most American Jews on the super religious part of the spectrum love trump because he explicitly endorses Israel as well, and Bibi is the same friend of right wing extremists/dictators that Trump is.

Personally, I'm not pro Palestine. I'm anti Hamas AND anti Bibi... Just Pro peace and both govts don't want that for different reasons.
