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)

Changing their tune *after* the utter destruction of Gaza is kind of a moot point, no? This book is on my list: 'One Day, Everyone Will Have Always Been Against This' Although I'm ML, im not really against a Bernie/AOC ticket. We're never going to get a perfect candidate. It's better than nothing. At least they have working class talking points.
