@Rowrowbott@DrJillStein why bother being a shitlib? why defend the status quo? your theory of change is pathetic. build a third party, more lesser evil is more evil you are seeing it every day. JS is a principled activist and hasn't done a genocide, she's everything with integrity that dems are not
For @AOC and @NYCMayor Zohran Mamdani to support @RepJeffries is despicable on many levels.
It's obviously a blatant betrayal of the fight for Palestinian liberation and an attempt to whitewash genocide, apartheid, and imperialist war.
AOC's supposed reason for endorsing Jeffries is her claim that she wants public housing funding for New York City and that Jeffries is committed to that.
This is as stunning of a lie as when AOC declared that @KamalaHarris was working tirelessly to secure a ceasefire.
Just in this election, Jeffries took loads of cash from real estate elite. He got $700,000 from real estate tycoon and foreclosure crisis profiteer Don Mullen, who made a killing from the horrific misery of working families in the Great Recession. Mullen gave nearly $6 million for Democratic Party campaigns in this election.
On top of that, RIGHT NOW, the last remaining foothold of public housing in New York City is on the verge of being dismantled and handed over to billionaires and multimillionaires.
This is happening under Mamdani and AOC. Not only are they letting this public housing be destroyed, AOC has the temerity to claim public housing as the reason for her endorsement of Jeffries.
This is par for the course in the Democratic Party. It's one of the two most powerful political institutions of global capitalism. Politicians like AOC are going to prioritize their careers even if means selling out tens of millions of working and poor people. We need a new party of the working class, which is what my organization, @wrkrsstrikeback, is fighting for.
@lizatliz try telling a Palestinian child that... you genocidal goon...get that Palestine flag out of your name if you gonna defend the defenders of genocide....
As AOC touts Jeffries, he gave a stunning preview of his leadership today, failing to whip the vote after promising a "hard yes" on Hegseth impeachment. 11 Dems were no-shows & the bid went down in flames.
If Jeffries won't deliver on a "hard yes", imagine what lies ahead for Medicare for All, ending Citizen's United & blocking funds for war & genocide.
Democrats are self-destructing as usual to serve their oligarch donors.
@ryangrim Ryan you are so corrupt and anti-democratic, if they can't even have a meeting to do democracy without blowback then they need to have the meeting. You promote preemptive submission and forgone defeat. You are really insidious.
@ILBW8N@briebriejoy@AOC people will get mad at you for saying this because they know it is the truth and they don't want to be transgressive... just wait and put all your eggs in the AOC basket and just maybe you can live... its batshit
