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.”

    And that’s supposed to convince Marxists to vote for Joe Biden? How are Marxists the ones sowing division among the left when you’re the one out here calling us names.

    Unless, sowing division is actually your goal. Just thunk about it.

      Right, my ultimate goal is for the fascists to be defeat and disappear and for the far left to disappear with them. Until then, I have a moral obligation to call out far left extremism when I see it and call out any attempts that try to sabotage Trump’s defeat in November… like what the DSA is trying to do here.

        The DSA is doing more more to fight fascism than you or I. To claim that an explicitly anti-fascist organization somehow enables fascism is ridiculous.

        The Antifascist Working Group (AFWG) notes that much of the work of DSA helps undercut fascism and white supremacy, and is not duplicating that work. There is also a need for the DSA, and beyond, to come together and stop the far right when they try to spread their hate in public and threaten our communities.
