The Democratic Socialists of America pulled its endorsement of Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York this week, accusing the progressive congresswoman of being insufficiently supportive of the Palestinian cause and efforts to end the war in Gaza…

Her approach has increasingly strained her relationship with some of the left’s most strident critics of Israel. When she rallied last month in the Bronx with Senator Bernie Sanders and Representative Jamaal Bowman, dozens of pro-Palestinian demonstrators angry over her endorsement of Mr. Biden chanted “You’re a fraud, A.O.C.”

Infighting would imply progressives are at the table.

We are outside in the alley forever talking with the bouncer, telling them that we know the band and should be let in.

Genocide at home upsets you … except when I mention the AIDs crisis and you claim that Trump is a uniquely terrible politician.

Sorry that genocide at home upsets me.

Sorry that you feel the need to advocate for genocide abroad.

What exactly do you think is going to happen under a renewed Trump administration? Day one dictator, Project 2025, any of this ringing genocide bells?
