Fetterman wasn't an elected official. He then got in office and got tainted. She's yet to be tainted. Still no AIPAC money, which is your biggest tell. She's not in line with corp Dems. That is just untrue. Corp Dems are still fighting the likes of her, Bernie, and Zohran, tooth and nail.
What you posted is favorable FROM the American people, and now the Democratic base, which has shifted younger who agree with folks like you and me. None of those talk about how the establishment favors her. They don't.
I really hope you’re right, but I just see that she doesn’t mention the genocide very often thru these last 21 months. I mean it is brutal. How can anyone look away? How can it not be filling up peoples timelines especially people in power who are from the left?
I hope so, too. But that's also not real life. Right now what we have to do is go with the strongest we have to us. And let's be honest with ourselves, she's not a "lesser of two evils" type. She's SO much better than that. Can she turn? She's human. I have faith in her that she won't.
Just to give you perspective, in this video, w/everything she's done to put Gaza up front, calling it a genocide, (which she did in October when referencing how bad Biden was handling it), asking for a ceasefire among other things... www.instagram.com/reel/DJPHpBq...
Calling her a war criminal? Is that just?! Like that is SUCH an unreal statement. Do we really expect one person to have all the power to put out that fire? I know we want this to stop, we need this to stop. The people being demolished need this to stop.
But she and those teamed up with her are doing as much as they have in their power to even shift the Overton window to even allow talking about the genocide in a fair way. So, I dunno. I don't have the answers. But this whole crusade against her, this ain't it.
I feel like it took her a long time to call out genocide. And I feel that she’s not doing as much to shift Overton Window as the young population in America is shifting that window and she is having to shift. That is just my take obviously I don’t have a lot of choice but to keep watching her.
I am not calling AOC a war criminal but if you look at the ICC, we have a duty to stop all arm sales to Israel that is what’s called on us by the international community and by the criminal court, so unless you vote no on everything you are going against the ICC
