AOC Loses the Endorsement of the Democratic Socialists of America

I’m shocked. Being the DSA representative is a large part of her brand. I’m not sure what the point of pulling the endorsement now is — she’ll be to the right of the Republican candidate regardless, so this just make the DSA look powerless.

[Townhall] The Democratic Socialists of America are no longer supporting progressive Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, pulling their endorsement of the New York Democrat for failing to meet a list of demands the group set forth.

A conditional endorsement was offered in June as long as the congresswoman "Publicly opposes all funding to Israel, including the Iron Dome; Participates regularly in the DSA Federal Socialists in Office Committee; Publicly opposes all criminalization of Anti-Zionism, such as bills advancing the IHRA definition which conflates criticism of Israel with anti-semitism; [and] Publicly supports BDS (Boycott, Divest, and Sanction) to end Israeli settler-colonialism."

Failing to see evidence that AOC met all those conditions, the DSA National Political Committee withdrew its endorsement.

"We recognize that AOC has taken many courageous positions on Palestine such as co-sponsoring several House Resolutions (3103, 786, 496), naming Israel’s genocide as well as opposing House Resolution 894," a statement said. "However, members have raised their concerns regarding a number of her votes, including a vote in favor of H.Res.888, conflating opposition to Israel’s ’right to exist’ with antisemitism. AOC also co-signed a press release on April 20, 2024, that ’support[s] strengthening the Iron Dome and other defense systems.’"

#3 Israel is also socialist. Maybe the DSA is just a skin suit for someone dark and malevolent.

#4 Israel is also socialist.

Was. Bibi's the one who made Israel a market economy - one reason he's so hated.
