We don’t believe you because you support a politician that funds the genocide and use Liberal Zionist arguments we have heard a million times from genocidal liberals

And I think your just a Republican stirring up shit because you spend all your time attacking the very few Democrats who actually acknowledge the genocide.

I have never once even "supported" AOC in this discussion. Pointing out that she isn't a genocide apologist isn't support, it's just reality.

I do personally support her because (among other things) she is better than any Republican or Democrat likely to replace her. If you have a better candidate then I say "great!". Run them against Pelosi, Schumer, or any one of hundreds of Democrats that are worse on this and a myriad of other issues.

That's the difference between you and I. You want to aura farm off of tragedy while I want to do something productive to end it. If you actually have a shit, you wouldn't be wasting your time attacking the Democrats closest to your position. Replace AOC with your perfect candidate and you will have achieved absolutely nothing.

This "reality" isn't supported by reality. She is a liberal Zionist and Zionism demands the extermination and ethnic cleaning of Palestinians in order to function. You don't support defensive weapons while being anti-genocide when those defensive weapons aid in furthering the genocide.

The gap between how much you know and how much you think you know could fit a small celestial body

"If you hate the party that is complicit in Palestinian genocide then you must belong to the other party that is also complicit in Palestinian genocide. I literally cannot imagine anyone having a principled opposition to genocide."

Not at all. Just the ones that act like it. One more hexbear for the block list. Pack of fucking hyenas.

“Everyone who disagrees with me is a Republican” and other calming fantasies to soothe the panicking Liberal mind
