The screenshot does not support your title afaict
It does. Read it again.
I did, three times. Please explain for my smooth brain.
AOC says people who voted for MTG's amendement are Neo Nazis. Now read the post title.
With only this screenshot, i do not see her saying that. I think context is missing which is my whole initial point 🤷♂️ you may be right, idk, but what you've posted doesnt say this.
Anyway, better things to do with my day
The context of AOC voting against other progressives? The rest is simply just a screenshot.
The screenshot is correcting your confusion but you're ignoring it. The screenshot is of the bill, not the amendment. She's showing you proof she voted no against the greater bill. Pretending the amendment is the bill is disingenuous.
I read this as her calling those trying to paint her as supporting the Israeli military as "neo nazis".
Which is just as bad
I disagree. It would be far worse for her to bring her colleagues down than to call out misinformation from who she perceives to be bad actors.
I think calling anti-genocide people neo-nazis is just as bad
Anti genocide people and people being angry at her on twitter are two different groups. There is overlap, but they are not the same group and not the same subject for this conversation.
She is talking about MTG's bill specifically.
It was an amendment that was never going to pass, not a bill. It's important to know and recognize the difference. An amendment is useless if it doesn't get added to the bill and voting for or against an amendment is different than voting for or against the bill.
It's like arguing over what goes in a shopping cart at a store where you're not going to buy anything anyway.
"Have you stopped hitting your wife yet?"
What is more likely, that MTG actually wanted to stop the genocide, or that she wrote a bill designed to cause chaos?
MTG knew it was politically popular to oppose Israel. AOC would rather lose voters than oppose Israel.
AOC literally voted against the bill. She literally voted against funding Israel. She literally said she opposes genocide and has called Israel out for it.
does she not realize she's an elected fascist official for a slave empire?
what do Americans think Americans are?
So, in detail, what's your plan to get rid of Trump?
If we're not going to vote him out, how do you think we should get rid of him?
Talk about thinks like financing the struggle; maintaining security; communications and all the other little things an armed insurrection would need.
what the f are you talking about
there is no "America" in the future
there is no future for the slave empire currently blighting the continent
I didn't realize you were a psychic mind reader with extra sensory perception who could see into the hidden future.
How about some winning lottery numbers, oh great mystical mage?
you don't get it
the wages of fascism are fire and death
So you're saying the people don't have to do anything at all?
Don't have to vote or organize a revolution?
Just pray to Marx and he'll send a thunderbolt?
"the people"???
how do you think slave empires usually end? do you think they go on forever until the cowards within their borders have a big election?
i think the war/ famine/ wildfire/ disease/ genocides that the empire has begun are going to continue spreading until they catch up with the empire and it collapses
you already have domestic concentration camps, a couple pandemics primed, and people who are so angry and lost they want to see nothing but the white bones of the ruling class
i think the empire thinks the pentagon and their nukes make them invincible and they're going to learn the same lesson empires always learn
*edit i blocked this guy because he's more interested in his "the people" and "consequences" imaginary constructs

When empires fall they don't go easily.
Thinking America will just vanish with no consequences is magical thinking.
No-one except you said that
Does OP have a problem with anyone but AOC?
