Since coming to office, New York Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has been the darling of the left. She's become so popular that she's expected to either replace Chuck Schumer in the Senate or be part of the Democrats' 2028 ticket. Whether she's flying around in private jets with Bernie Sanders on an 'Eat the Rich' tour or trying to use her political clout to influence Hakeem Jeffries to endorse the Democratic Socialist candidate to be New York City's next mayor, she can seemingly do no wrong.
Bolshevik Barbie standing shoulder to shoulder with Commie Mamdani symbolizes how far left the Democrats have gone, and SHE is the face of that movement.
The socialist succubus just got a quick lesson in how fickle her base on the loony left can be when she voted against a proposed amendment by Georgia Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene. MTG's amendment would have drastically slashed funding for military aid to Israel.
AOC (or her advisors) should have known that if there's anything the statist left hates more than a Republican, it's Israel.
BREAKING: Marjorie Taylor Greene’s amendment to slash military funding to Israel was just defeated 422-6.

It would have jeopardized U.S. national security and gutted critical joint military R&D—like the creation of the Iron Dome. pic.twitter.com/KMFKzLz27F
For her part, MTG's proposal was more political theater than anything else. That vote had less chance of crossing the finish line than Jerry Nadler running a marathon. MTG knew it, and AOC should have known it. Politically, AOC should have voted for the amendment, then spent the rest of the day with the 'Squad' twirling kaffiyehs like Steelers fans with terrible towels, chanting free Palestine. She could have spent her weekend on Instagram, chugging cheap wine to the adoration of her base on the far left.
The vote was an unforced error, and the backlash came quickly.
AOC’s base is now revolting against her after she voted to fund the Iron Dome.

The left cannibalizes itself as usual.

She tried to rationalize her vote and do some damage control. Explaining that she believes in protecting all innocent lives.
Marjorie Taylor Greene’s amendment does nothing to cut off offensive aid to Israel nor end the flow of US munitions being used in Gaza. Of course I voted against it.

What it does do is cut off defensive Iron Dome capacities while allowing the actual bombs killing Palestinians to…

What it does do is cut off defensive Iron Dome capacities while allowing the actual bombs killing Palestinians to continue.
I have long stated that I do not believe that adding to the death count of innocent victims to this war is constructive to its end. That is a simple and clear difference of opinion that has long been established.
I remain focused on cutting the flow of US munitions that are being used to perpetuate the genocide in Gaza.
Protecting innocent Jewish lives didn't go over too well with the 'From the River to the Sea' wing of the party.
It seemed to make things worse.

A country perpetrating a genocide deserves zero dollars in any form. They deserve diplomatic and political isolation preceding trials at The Hague. This twisted logic won’t work at this stage.

Bernie Sanders and AOC are Liberal Zionist scum

Reject Liberal Zionism and embrace Palestinian Liberation
It's a hard lesson, but one AOC needs to understand. The harsh reality is that her base has no interest in protecting any Jewish lives. The left isn't against violence or genocide so long as they're directed at the right group of people. All of her supporters who protest for the end of the war today would be dancing in the same streets they march in should Israel be wiped off the map tomorrow.
Bravo. AIPAC’s so grateful for your free service.. Cheap and spineless! Impressive.

We get it you’re pivoting so you can run for president and you gotta get on your knees for @AIPAC but just admit it.

You failed us, AOC.

The Democrats may have a big tent, but they require a purity test to stay in it. AOC is a little less pure today. She is still the Commie Queen of the party, but her crown is a little tarnished.
She should have known better.
Editor’s Note: The Democrat Party has never been less popular as voters reject its globalist agenda.
