AOC fanbase implodes after "present" vote for Israel's Iron Dome, AOC cites Dems "ignored her"

[Alben Barkley]

It's amazing. In one swift stroke she managed to:

1. Alienate her anti-Semitic far left rabid fans.

2. Make the right ridicule her even more than usual.

3. Make liberals and mainstream Democrats distance themselves even farther from her, and in some cases even join the right in outright mocking her embarrassing behavior.

Like... did she learn NOTHING from Tulsi? Voting "Present" satisfies NOBODY and angers EVERYBODY! If she wanted to go far left uncompromising extremist who stands by what she believes no matter what, she should have voted No as the rest of the Squad did. If she wanted to go reasonable person who knows when to keep her head down and mouth shut when it comes to extremely controversial issues (especially in her state), she should have stayed out of it entirely. She failed miserably at both. Now she somehow sounds even MORE anti-Semitic ("the Jews forced me not to vote No!") AND looked weak and pathetic (literally crying on the floor of Congress) AND pissed off the people who previously believed in her most.

Just one of the worst political moves I have ever seen.

I hope she DOES try to primary Schumer now; she will be eaten alive.

Amazing how as ideologically varied as the posters in this thread are, somehow nearly none can come up with a coherent refutation of her statement that doesn't resort to outright dismissiveness or lazy and predictable cries of anti-Semitism.
