Apparently, AOC is now the enemy [View all]

Interesting observations in this article below I think.

Apparently, AOC is now the enemy -Daily Kos

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s office in the Bronx was vandalized early on Monday by masked protesters claiming to support Palestinian rights (and) for a crowd that’s supposedly fighting for Palestinian freedom, they sure have a knack for attacking exactly the wrong people.

During the 2024 presidential campaign, these activists bizarrely fixated on Vice President Kamala Harris—hardly the puppet master of U.S. foreign policy on Gaza—and heckled her relentlessly, even at her own party’s convention. They even cheered when Donald Trump won the election, with peak absurdity displayed in (a) viral celebratory tweet

And after dubbing former President Joe Biden “Genocide Joe,” they seem to have misplaced their creativity when it comes to Trump, who now has the power to reshape U.S. policy. Instead, he has openly embraced the ethnic cleansing of Palestinians. Among other things, Trump moved the U.S. embassy to Jerusalem, defunded UNRWA, and greenlit Israel’s annexation plans. And who could forget the video he posted of his Gaza fantasy—replete with a golden Trump idol at his Trump-branded Gaza casino? 

Yet none of these pro-Palestine activists protest Trump. No chants, no stupid nicknames, no disruption. Nothing.Rep.


I don't get it either. Or maybe it's that someone has figured Democrats and Progressives are safer TARGETS?

go figure.
