The New York congresswoman was blamed for not being supportive enough of the Palestinian cause and efforts to end the war in Gaza.

The Democratic Socialists of America pulled its endorsement of Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York this week, accusing the progressive congresswoman of being insufficiently supportive of the Palestinian cause and efforts to end the war in Gaza…

Her approach has increasingly strained her relationship with some of the left’s most strident critics of Israel. When she rallied last month in the Bronx with Senator Bernie Sanders and Representative Jamaal Bowman, dozens of pro-Palestinian demonstrators angry over her endorsement of Mr. Biden chanted “You’re a fraud, A.O.C.”

      This is literally the identical rhetoric you used for almost a year to argue that we shouldn’t question Biden’s fitness for office.

          that would be alleviated somewhat by choosing another candidate now.

          See, what someone with an informed political calculus would have done, would have been to support criticism of the incumbent and demand a proper competitive primary 10 months ago while we still had lots and lots of time and bandwidth for it.

          If your views only make sense looking backwards, your views don’t make sense.

          You should really consider listening to those whose views predict future states of the world, and weighting their opinions more highly than your own, until you’ve adjusted your calculus sufficiently such that your views predict future states of the world.

          Basically, you were wrong, are wrong, and will continue to be wrong until you begin to adjust your thinking.

              My view changed because the information available to me changed. I called heads and it was tails. I fucked up. Y

              Its so much more than that. Its that you had a wildly wrong opinion, an opinion that functionally hurt our ability to stop Trump. You had all the information you needed to make the right assessment, but your entire goal with your rhetoric was to shut down any kind of conversation that would allow for that right assessment to be made. It was fucking disgusting and it still is.

              If your views only make sense looking backwards, your views don’t make sense.

              What it means, is that if your views only predict previous states of the universe but don’t generalize to new states of the universe, we should ignore you.

              Yes, you did. Repeatedly and loudly, while calling everyone who was absolutely right fascists.

              Just like you’re doing now.

            Becasue “someone with an informed political calculus would have chosen to not vote at all, right?

            How can you say shit like this, and then suggest that not voting will bring change?
