There's two possibilities here: either she really is this stupid and doesn't realize voting to send weapons to a country like Israel means killing people, in which case she's unfit to lead, or she knows and this is pure cynical optics, in which case she's unfit to lead.

Stop caping for these people, at the very least they don't deserve your fucking brownie points for clearing a bar that's in hell at this point.

When have politicians ever done something that wasn't for optics?

To get change requires positive reinforcement. Next time, she might go a step further. Every time she says something, some in her audience get the chance to realize that it's not anti-semitic to condemn the killing of children.

This is why AIPAC didn't want any Palestinian speaking at the DNC and why they spent millions against Bowman and Bush. Because they don't want to normalize criticism of Israel.

That's the current door that needs to be opened wide in the mainstream.

To get change, critical mass is needed.

I even applaud Candace Owens and Dan Bilzerian for speaking out, even though I don't agree with them on anything else.

If I continue being a doormat and giving them all of my body and soul despite their constant abuse, eventually they’ll realize that they love me.

I knew it! Can't wait to help my friend canvas then be told we need to focus on the (((north))) county and that we need Republicans(?) to support war. Can't believe my local Dems could be so cunning and LIBERAL(Derogatory).
