I’m just saying this whole argument of progressives and Dems and RINOs and stupid shit is part of why there is no actual progress.
A) their job is to represent their voters. Not enforce their own opinions

My money says she opposed the amendment because it would be unpopular in her constituency if she didn’t.

Democratic voters don’t support Israel anymore, so she’s actually going against her voters to cast this vote.
You’ve spoken to every single one of them?
Because that’s not true I literally know them
I’ve seen polls. 🙄
71 percent of likely Democratic primary voters say that the U.S. should end its arms transfers to Israel until it “stops attacks on civilians in Gaza, supports Palestinian rights, and commits to a long-term peace process.”
After a decade in which Democrats have shown increasing affinity toward the Palestinians, their sympathies in the Middle East now lie more with the Palestinians than the Israelis, 49% versus 38%.
Also, let’s not ignore Zohran Mamdani winning his primary.
Times have changed. Democrats aren’t Zionists and she’s voting against what her voters want.

Okay so you support genocide and want AOC to support genocide.
Idealist. Everything is black and white, is or is not.
Genocide isn’t black and white to you?
Politicians actions aren’t.
