    She left the DSA to join the Democratic party

    DSA is not a party. That’s part of the reason it’s unable to discipline elected officials . . . which is one reason that AOC is able to do nonsense like “working tirelessly for a ceasefire” and find no reprecussion from the org.

    But nobody leaves DSA to join the Democrats. Most DSA members ARE registered Democrats, especially in closed primary states.

      Explain how that’s nonsense? It’s not like she has the power to actually solve it

        Stating that the Biden administration, which controls the weapons going to Israel, is “working ceaselessly for a ceasefire” is nonsense because they could have forced one any time they chose.

        In fact, they were legally required not to provide arms to a genocide.

        AOC didn’t have to give them cover. But she did. DSA, meanwhile, can’t do shit about her doing that.
