"What do you say to a young progressive or an Arab-American who says to you, 'I just can't vote for Biden again after what he's enabled in Gaza.'? Listen to a detailed, thoughtful, & important answer to my Q from @AOC at the Zeteo launch. (Do try & actually listen & not assume!)
@mehdirhasan @AOC Do I have this right: you’re promoting Biden who enabled the genocide in Gaza on the belief that there are other things to worry about in the US and Trump will fail democracy? Mehdi, what are you doing? You’re accepting the argument: “Yeah, genocide, BUT” This is disgusting!
@mehdirhasan @AOC Talking to us like we are children is not a great sales ploy.
@mehdirhasan @AOC A defeat for Biden would signal that regardless of how much you repackage genocide, you will not get away with it and perhaps, mayyyyybe, open up space for more progressive politics within the Democratic Party which reflects the wishes of their electorate. No to Genocide Joe.
@mehdirhasan @AOC I’m not necessarily disagreeing with AOC but I have to remind her that on the day after DT was in office, we one of the biggest mass protests ever organized.
@mehdirhasan @AOC This is good!! Must watch!! I’m in total agreement.
@mehdirhasan @AOC I listened. Fantastic. I appreciate AOC for saying it. Here is what I think you miss @mehdirhasan: The liberation needed to resolve the Israel/Palestinian conflict is not "Free Palestine" by advocating terrorism & the annihilation of Israel. It is freeing Gaza from Hamas!
@mehdirhasan @AOC "its not a question of one being the lesser of 2 evils" ... then proceeds to explain how Biden is not as evil as trump.
@mehdirhasan @AOC But the jailing of dissidents is happening RIGHT NOW!
@mehdirhasan @AOC Amazing how many calling themselves "progressives" have bashed AOC's comments and are bashing Biden. I agree with AOC that a Democratic Congress can work with Biden to change policy. If Trump is elected, we will have no choices under his autocracy.
Bless your heart @HouseDemocrats @RepAOC America is a Constitutional Republic. Our forefathers were wise enough to understand the extremes of Democracy was not and is not the answer. Read more.
