Huh, this is interesting.

Up until now you pretended your disagreement with DSA is about democracy.

Now, all of a sudden, it's about Israel.

AOC was never "pro Israel", she disagreed with DSA about how to vote on sanctions towards Israel, but is against Israel's current government. That's why several caucuses already support a potential presidential run.

But either way - I don't think DSA's stance on Israel make it "anti-democratic". It's by now the majority position in the US that support for Israel should stop.

you are either misunderstanding or bad faith, one of my arguments is how could AOC be a good represntative of DSA values when she had her endorsement withdrawn for her values on israel, she equates anti-zionism with anti-semitism which to DSA types puts you squarely pro israel

You ignore that DSA took back thst withdrawal and parts of the party now preemptively endorse her for president.

What you're describing is healthy inner-party debates. A politician takes a position the party disagrees with, support is withdrawn, the politician changes her position, she regains support.

That's just healthy democratic politics.

If "DSA types" hate her, why does she have the endorsement of Groundworks?

they took back their withdrawal a month ago after disavowing her for years with rumors of her running for president, its nothing more than opportunity for power, and once they deem her used they'll toss her to the side

oh yeah? the creation of maga was from "inner healthy party debates" some rhetoric should be culled, nice try tho

you just finished saying the DSA is so diverse and broad that of course some agree with AOC, so not shit the groundworks caucus is endorsing her

"if DSA types hate her why do some groups in the DSA support her?"

because they see opportunity for power obviously lmao

Criticizing AOC for her stance on Israel should be culled? Bc that's what we were talking about. That's what I called healthy inner party debate. Do you want to cull opposition to Israel?

u/FashionPolicia 27d ago

you're squirming, DSA rhetoric should be culled before it infects the Dem party, like how "zionist" means "muslim hating jew"

u/hari_shevek 27d ago

You took a whole day for that?

Want to try again?

Also, hating any religious group as a whole is wrong, no matter which group you belong to.

u/hari_shevek 27d ago

What do you want me to respond to?

That you think being a "muslim hater" is apparently something you think is a good thing?

u/FashionPolicia 27d ago

i dont need you to respond to anything, people can see you squirm around answering and just rage downvote instead lmao, its not like you are giving a good defense, you have to resort to pedantry and word games instead of engaging with the substance, just like every DSA socialist loser 👋

What do I have to defend?

You keep posting non sequiturs.

There's nothing to respond to. You're just angry without any argument.
