No, you see, other people have believed in it so it must be true!

Same people who made Obama phone jokes are eager to sign up to be ripped off by Trump mobile.

Somebody doth protest too much.

Do you find this weak troll act fulfilling and useful? Good use of your time? Healthy outlet for your emotional issues?

So you are just actively advocating for a worse-than-useless solution that only helps ensure the least favorable party gets more votes while arrogantly pretending you know better than the people who have to live with the results. Got it.

That's not a denial...

The obvious answer, voting 3rd party doesn't register with you people.

So you admit you don't understand first past the post voting systems.

Yes, that's a subjective perspective on the matter. And...?

I also keep seeing this:

"The progressive congresswoman deserves the heat she's getting for her vote against a bill that would've held back aid to Jerusalem"

People keep calling the amendment a bill, which it is not. Even the PhD author of that article is misconstruing the vote in question despite correctly identifying it as an amendment elsewhere.

AOC voted against the bill that funded Israel. Full stop. Saying otherwise is counterfactual, i.e a lie. Full stop.

You can quibble over the repercussions of the amendment vote. I wouldn't have voted for or against it personally. But saying she voted for funding Israel is not correct. Saying she funds genocide is not only incorrect but would be defamation if she weren't a public figure.

But I will ask again, what is the value of attacking AOC on this point? Will it drive voters further to the left? Will it win primaries for progressive candidates? Will it in any way affect the funding of genocide in Gaza? What is the value of this fight? If it's just feeling self-righteous but doesn't have any useful results, why pursue it so fiercely? The only people this fight benefits are those who want someone farther right than AOC in office.

That's what ranked choice voting can get you.

Except if you know the amendment will fail and you know the amendment is a stunt by a racist conspiracy theorist, you can't be expected to take it seriously.

But again, what's the endgame for this criticism? She resigns and someone more centrist or corporate or right leaning takes her place? She feels bad and remembers next time to virtue signal meaningless gestures instead of attempting to achieve plausible goals?

So you acknowledge it didn't have a chance of passing and was thus of completely null value, except as far as you get to use it to attack someone for not virtue signalling your preferred message. And it's really super important to drag her because doing so will magically help more leftists come to power in the US and topple the authoritarian regime...? What's your end game on this strategy? You'll die on a useless hill from a MAGA boot on your face and your last satisfied utterance will be, "at least we told AOC off that one time," is that it? Do you think this witch hunt will have any useful results?

AOC still voted against blocking military aid to Israel.

No, she didn't. Any number times zero is zero. She could have voted for an amendment to kick puppies and then voted against the bill and thus ultimately voted against kicking puppies. You don't seem to understand how bills and amendments work.

What result do you want to happen here?

Do the same give me her voting history of when she opposed funding this genocide.

Literally the bill in question. If you aren't familiar with the bill the amendment was for, you don't know what we're discussing.

and your reply to me was basically plugging your ears shouting "LALALA I Cannot Hear Cannot See.."

No, my reply is that you're spewing racist conspiracy theories.

Again with the racism and conspiracy theories. You're not even trying to hide it. You clearly have no moral grounds to criticize other people.
