    Why is squad pro proxy war in Ukraine and no Medicare for all in USA?

    Not a proxy war. Thanks for letting everyone know you side with the abuser

      Why are you posting cringe LaRouchite takes on a silly video?

      context

      The people that heckled AOC as being pro-war were not anti-war. The 2 hecklers were pro-russia, one of them was a LaRouchite and the other was a patsoc infrared haz guy. You can find both of their profiles on twitter.

      This is how AOC responded to the incident. She says that she’s not prowar, that she has voted to increase the US defense budget 0 times.

        She isn’t pro-war she just voted in favor of extending a war by arming the side that has never had any chance of winning the war. She can say what ever she likes but her voting records prove otherwise. She has also voted in favor of giving weapons to the nation illegally occupying Palestine.

          https://clerk.house.gov/Votes/2022145

          368 Yea (219 Democrats, 149 Republicans), 57 Nay (0 Democrats, 57 Republicans)

          Blaming AOC specifically is still a cringe LaRouchite take considering 100% of the Democrats voted for the bill and no other politician was targeted in the same way. The only reason that AOC is specifically brought up in this instance is because LaRouchites and Patsocs are reactionary and they target AOC because she is more progressive than other US politicians. The only people that voted against the bill were reactionary, pro-war Republicans.

          AOC would have been the only Democrat to vote against it, it wouldn’t have changed whether the bill passed, and she would have received much more backlash. AOC does not have the power to make any meaningful difference in this situation.

            uuh, nah. You don’t let’s the nut job fascist take the anti war line, ever. It’s pathetic, she and the squad shouldn’t tow the establishment line that they rails against

              When LaRouchites and Patsocs says they are antiwar, they are lying. You are choosing to believe that. That says something about you, not everyone else.

                You know they’re lying, then you should go take the anti war stance too and call them out for not being honest, they want to divert resources to facing China, unless you pro war and want to risk nuclear conflict?

                  That is what she did, yes. I posted the screenshot in my earlier post.
