Heartbreaking: The Worst Person You Know Just Made A Great Point
Ugh.
Listen to Marjorie Taylor Greene talk, and she's easily the worst of the worst. But sometimes she does something like this or speaks out against Trump, and in that respect she may actually be one of the better Republicans, which is an extremely, extremely low bar to clear.
I wonder if there were bad hidden things in the bill again? (I know most of the US congress is bought by AIPAC)
Like in the US, a bill often gets to congress that is named something like "the children are the future protections act" that provides free meals and better education for kids or something universally good, and then clause 7.1.2.5 says "all people of color are stripped of all rights and Lockheed Martin gets an extra 200 billion per year and a on-demand hit squad provided by the CIA and is immune to prosecution, and the police have the right to spy on every citizen and steal their wallets without a warrant."
Because the majority of members of US congress have admitted to not actually reading the bills.
There was nothing bad in the amendement itself.
This was not a vote on the whole bill. It was a vote to change a part of the bill and strip out funding for some free weapons to Israel. It was voted on seperately.
I can't believe I'm agreeing with something MTG put forth.
If you are agreeing, you are part of the problem. This was essentially a bill to defund the police by taking body cameras away.
Funny, that's not the reason AOC have for not voting for it.
What I was agreeing with was the idea of defending Israel, not whatever was in the bill.
Pretty sure her tweet said that. Taking away iron dome missile and still giving them offensive weapons doesn't help anyone.
The thing about setting fires to burn things down is that you often cant control what happens after the fire is lit.
600+ days into livestreamed extermination and mass starvation in Gaza and these wretched people say they care.
AOC is career politician (insert add for term limits here) and as such she is tries to walk the middle line, carefully selecting her words and never goes far enough on her stance on certain issues that might get her in trouble, like her meandering support about Gaza and Israel. She is not the progressive darling we need, just the best the DNC has, and at times, that isn't saying much. We need a viable working class, progressive party that isn't afraid to fight.
She is an outspoken surrogate for President Biden, a figure many fellow socialists have condemned as a warmonger. She has also carefully calibrated her messaging around the war in Gaza, declining to take some positions that have inflamed Jewish Americans.
