Okay so just the one vote? I really do want to be completely clear about this. It's weird that you're not answering that simple question. It's just the one vote? No other bill or amendment where she voted in any way that could be construed as pro Israel in any way? It doesn't even have to be one that had any hope of passing, or that wasn't a stupid waste of time, I just want to know if there is any other one. You said I lacked knowledge so I want you to help me fill it in.
I mean, yes, if Elon Musk spent a pretty good chunk of his working life working for holocaust remembrance, worked to disarm neo-Nazi organizations, basically did his version of what AOC is doing, and then also posted one Sieg Heil, and that was the only thing he'd ever done that could be construed as a Nazi thing, I would want to know more. And then if there was some explanation that made sense I'd say okay cool, that probably doesn't mean he's a Nazi.
The issue with Elon is that he is clearly a Nazi and then also because he's a Nazi he did this Nazi thing. The issue with AOC is that she's very very clearly pro-Palestinian and various people who don't want this pro-Palestinian person in congress are trying super super hard to paint her as anti-Palestinian by spinning up this one dumb tweet into a crisis and the whole of her character. It seems like it's working, but it's a dumb and dishonest effort to me.
Does that explanation really not make sense? I feel like you're having trouble getting your head around it but it makes sense to me. Anyway, I've given it a few times, and asked a few times for you to help me see why that's not exactly what's up with AOC, and you keep talking but you do not offer any examples. Feel free to tell me any bill or amendment other than The One that AOC voted for. Since I've got a lack of knowledge you can help me with it. I don't want to go back and forth forever but feel free to tell me another time beyond this one that is now a certain Lemmy contingent's favorite thing to talk about that she's ever done.
What other one do you need? AOC literally went on social media and clarified she voted against MTG her bill because she wanted to keep sending interceptors to Israel. To make sure nobody has any doubts left. So I am not sure why you are doubting her clear intentions.
Okay, so no other examples? You can just say so, if you're lacking the knowledge of them, it's okay.
There are plenty of others. But since you refuse to concede an overwhelmingly clear one there is clearly no reason to provide any others as your only response will be 'that does not count show me others'.
That's a new one, I was sort of expecting "Do your own research!"
Carry on then, if you have no interest in providing evidence for what you're saying I don't think us interacting with each other carries any value (if it ever did).
