AOC has consistently called for a ceasefire, consistently called out AIPAC, and consistently called out Israel's actions. She's not just 'generally good' on this, she's good on it. Moving the goal posts is doing any good for anyone. How do we get politicians to call for a ceasefire, when we show that it's not enough? Too many leftists do not understand politics. I say this as a leftist myself. But too many of us really don't get it.

Oh but she endorsed Biden!

Of course she did. The alternative is Trump. And don't give me "What about the primaries!" Nobody else stands a chance of beating Biden. Voting uncommitted to show your support for Palestine is fine. Even AOC has said so! But when it comes to politics, you need as many allies as you can get. I feel like too many leftists think we can just do this all by ourselves. We can't. And you sometimes have to compromise to form coalitions. That's how politics works.
