No she doesn't, she voted abstain, not no, on Iron Dome: https://www.timesofisrael.com/aoc-seen-visibly-shaken-after-casting-vote-to-abstain-on-iron-dome-funding-bill/
That's still enough to get her hit with the dark money equivalent of a 2000 pound glide bomb in the next election.
Probably only if seen as vulnerable. The illegal unregistered Israeli foreign lobbying groups like AIPAC are a paper tiger unless they pick a small subset of races to dump a ton of money in, and every time they fail (like with Summer Lee) it emboldens more resistance. They don't want to wind up like the NRA, who got too aggressive with dems, lost some races, and then dems realized they didn't need to kiss that ring anymore, limiting their influence to the GOP.
Good. She shouldn't have voted to end the rail strike. She matters not.
Man, you guys just don't want any power, do you? Even the best candidates you still say you wouldn't vote for because they aren't perfect. I'm sorry to tell you, you'll never have a perfect candidate. Pick your favorite political historical figure from any time and any location and go to their wiki page. Read through it and see if there's things in there you don't like. I promise you there are. Change doesn't come from perfection. It comes from good enough (or tearing it all down, but then you have to put something up that's good enough after, because it's sure as hell not going to be something everyone can agree on).
Yeah colonizers are bad, but do you know who's worse? The people fighting back. /s
The Lakota committed many atrocities. Do you know that they cut people's scalps off? The US Calvary are the only civilized army in the west.
^^^ missing an /s tag for my overly literal fellow travelers
She didn't vote yes, which means she cares, at least a little. That might not be all we hope for, but it's far better than almost everyone around her.
This regime whore needs to get releected in NYC lol
You don't do that by shitting on Israel
You can in her district. There's no great love for Israel in most of the Bronx. Richie Torres baffles me. I assume he's getting some kind of Eric Adams-style kickback from Israel, because he's ALL IN on dead brown babies for the master race in a VERY brown district that he has never delivered ANYTHING for (or even really talked about their issues because he's like Giuliani is with 9/11 but with Israel bullshit)
