Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez had called for a permanent cease-fire in the war between Israel and Hamas, but had resisted labeling the conflict a genocide.
Goalposts… she should wait until the genocide ends to criticize Biden over his response? The rhetoric is that he should end complacency in relations with Israel
Well who would you endorse? Nobody? With an incumbent Democrat and for party optics, would you want to go into the next election unorganized? Especially if you can actually influence policy before and after re-election. How is open pressure to change policy not good enough? If its not effective you don’t stop pushing. We have already seen the alternative; you arent going to get that with a trump presidency, and he has been clear on his policy regarding Palestinian.
For us, as voters, undecided is by the best that we can do, and honestly voice to our Democratic representatives that this needs to change

She should certainly not endorse Biden while he is still actively complicit in Genocide. Nobody should.

Cornel West is pretty good.
Endorsing Biden is also fine after he stops the Genocide
Anyone that endorses Biden while Biden is complicit in Genocide, is also complicit in Genocide.
But do you condemn Hamas?
