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)

happy to hear it, it's news to me, last i was aware Bernie was still saying "Israel has a right to defend itself" but there's maybe nobody id trust more than you if you say it sounds like they are on track now

🫡 Idk if they're "on track", and certainly not saying folks should fall in line. But they've acknowledged their mistakes, and the genocide itself by name, and have committed to doing better... So I can't help but interpret a lot of left critiques which ignore this as counterfactual. IMO they're at least worth paying attention to.
