So I went to the AOC / Bernie rally in my area, and listened to Alexandria (briefly, but sincerely) criticize the genocide of Palestinians, call out APAC-funded politicians and (not in so many words) call for a shift away from US hegemony and imperialism... Her class politics were based, her political line was accessible, and her political skill was on show... Idk if I'd back or vote for this duo (especially if they're toeing the Dem party line).. But I've got less reason these days to take issues with their politics. It seems they've made the changes which progressives are demanding. ...So I gotta wonder, why are people still treating them as if they're refusing to acknowledge the genocide and the failure of democrats to represent the working class? Honest question. Are people just not listening to them? Do you not trust them at their word? For those in the US: What sort of left coalition would you actually back? (just seeking perspective here; all answers welcomed)

My problem with them is that they rolled over to Dems on the genocide issue when it mattered way more. Genocide continues but there's less chance to change anything about it now. Secondly, they may be slightly and ever-so-briefly critical of Israel in the non-televized parts of their rallies, but on every national stage, they're still both-siding the issue. If the most accessible and arguably least imperialist part of Dem party can't speak the truth openly, we can't expect the rest of the party to ever move towards that direction.
