just heard Hasan call her Marjorie Taylor Blue

That's what AOC decides to open her mouth about? Useless fucking tool

First item on the issues page.

aoc has denounced her

oh did she react to some of the more questionable statements from this person that were quoted by the nyt?

aoc denounced the cool and obviously correct thing that she said

I am going to vote for her in my local election. I don't care that she's not running in my state. I'm also going to vote for her for president in 2028 even if she doesn't run. It's about time we had a strong woman in charge who's willing to end the wars!

More seriously though, if I hadn't already determined that AOCIA is cancelled for abetting the Palestinian Genocide, her denunciation here would be enough for me to cancel her.

Holy fuck lmao that unnecessary AOC reply why the fuck would you even engage

AOC sees circus tent, dives in to join the clowns fuckin lol

I have done no investigation

This person may be on the up-and-up, but I always worry about language like this being used by actual antisemites to backdoor their shit. IMHO Strasserites like ACP will be the biggest struggle for Marxist groups in the US over the next few years, and I just frankly don't trust anyone who says things that sound good but doesn't combine it with explicit theory. Tucker Carlson and MTG can also rail against Zionists.

Castrating Zionists might be a good sound byte, but without explicitly saying you include evangelicals and oligarchs like Musk, feels "dog whistley". I know her opponent is a fucking ghoul so I don't put much credence in the pearl clutching rhetoric against her.

Not in her district. If I were I would do some real investigation and form a real opinion instead of this vibes-based analysis.

AIPAC tracker also denouced her lmao

I get that this is about where the median is for internet messaging, but I don't think "castrate people" translates to a successful campaign in like a door knocking, interacting with people face to face sense. I don't even think it does much to shift the Overton window.

I don't disagree with the sentiment, but if you're doing electoralism, it just doesn't seem strategically sound. Saying something that others find shocking and frustrating because you yourself are shocked and frustrated with the state of US foreign policy. Cathartic maybe, but... i dunno I fail to see how its anything more than cathartic.

Beyond her attacks on Garcia, Galindo has continued to promote the narrative that a cabal of Jewish zionists controls Hollywood, the media and even local politicians.

i think the article (as described) does somewhat point to antisemitism (as well as pedo punishment part, if not a rhetoric turn, usually points to rightwinger as well). lmaocia is disgraceful as usual (what is precisely the functional difference between (say genuine) anti-semite and zionist cop?)

It's unfortunate that antisemites actually have fairly recently adopted denouncing "zionists" (where "zionist" is a stand-in for jews) as a means to fan the flames and muddy the waters. Successfully, it would seem. It wasn't a thing before the media started calling anyone who was outspoken against zionism an antisemite. I expect that's where the actual antisemites got it from in the first place. I don't think we can/should move away from using the word "zionist" however, because that is still the word zionists use to describe themselves.

She's got my vote!

Castrating Zionists? Why didn't I think of that before?

When someone starts talking about sending "Zionists" off to camps, I think it's a pretty safe bet that they are using it as a dogwhistle for Jews. Am I missing something? This person sounds like a Nazi to me, they've been using "Zionist" for a little while now, since they know how unpopular Israel is with everyone else and it is an easy "foot in the door" for more anti-Semitic rhetoric.

I'm not sure why the comments here seem to be in favour of this person and their rhetoric, it really sounds like Fascist dogwhistles, unless I'm really just not getting it, and if so, can someone please explain? As the contradictions of capital worsen, and the Fascists rise, they will co-opt left wing rhetoric more and more until they don't need to anymore and can finally go mask-off. That's what this looks like to me, a Fascist riding a wave of popular leftist sentiment into power and using dogwhistles to signal to the fash.

I just don't understand why this is a bridge too far but having a totenkopf tattoo and guarding (and more) massive torture and death camps is something that should be overlooked.

This should be the bare minimum for Democrats

Hasan Piker is a coward

I fear that we are quickly approaching the era where people who say really cool shit like this are either shot or systemically blackballed

Damn. I would register as a Democrat to vote for her

Chuck Schumer must be scared shitless that her platform will catch on.

To be fair I'm pretty sure she essentially said Zionist was code for jew, aoc supports Hasan which is anti Zionist, I do think nuance may be needed here

How dare they purity test my vote blue no matter who?! I swear it’s like they don’t want the lesser evil candidate to win. They’re essentially helping fascism win by saying anything negative about her when her opponent is actively pro-genocide. Etc etc

If liberals had any sort of consistency to their logic, they wouldn’t be liberal anymore.

Interning zionists and castrating pedophiles is a completely logical and reasonable position to take in 2026. I say we hear her out, and push her further left (executing the pedophile elite in a public square).

Of course, this being America: pedophile is also used to refer to queer and lgbtq people. So who knows.

Clearly the reasonable choice is the Abu Ghraib blackwater merch with the totenkopf tattoo
