      I hadn’t heard that. Will need to read up on it.

      Last I read she was doing the whole bullshit “I support defensive weapons” nonsense that Dems started pushing when it became clear that people were pissed about the genocide and AIPAC.

        No, she changed her stance. It’s really frustrating that people like you feel the need to try to sway people’s opinions and are also totally wrong about the reality of the situation. At least you could keep on top of the information, if you actually cared. You don’t care though.

        This happened quite a while ago and you only heard about the bad thing because people wanted you to be apathetic. You’re attempting to spread that same apathy to others. That’s how we end up getting the same thing over and over. It’s easy to make people on the left not participate because “they’re all bad candidates.” They aren’t all bad though, but it’s easy to take one thing and blow it up, especially when you aren’t tied to reality.

          Not at all. If I’m wrong I like being corrected. (Hence why I said I need to read up on it, which maybe you skipped?)

          For the most part I appreciate AOC, at least rhetorically (because too much of the time she’s voted with the genociders), but at the same time I’m not a mind reader nor omniscient. Definitely not apathetic either, but also not a political junkie.

          So maybe stop wagging the finger and pushing away voters who might actually support your side if you weren’t such an insufferable jerk.

            If the reason someone doesn’t support my side is because I am a little bit mean, then they were not ever on my side to begin with.

              If being an asshole is so important to you that you’d drive away people who support your side, you’re the problem. Not them.

              Grow up and be a reasonable person. “Support me even though I obviously hate you” is an absurd way to approach people if you honestly expect to create change.

            You’re the one pushing people away. You made a comment, with the intent to make people not vote, with less than accurate information. I don’t care to push you away, if you’re already away to begin with. I care to make you not push others away.

            Its impossible to know if someone is genuine or not, but there are a lot of trolls (and it’s only going to get worse) specifically trying to make people not vote. I can’t know if you honestly believe what you said or not, but you’re functionally the same as a troll trying to spread voter apathy.
