    She abstained because she works for Nancy Pelosi and she wants to climb in the party. Sad to see so many on the Left making excuses for her, saying the we should give her a break. What was the point of sending her to Washington then? That's not what she was elected for.

    So, do you have an actual point?

    Do you have a question that makes sense?

    Well, I think AOC has found out that legislating is a long, drawn-out process. And, that she has to work along-side her fellow representatives to get things done. So that's probably why she seems a little dull lately.

    As for the "Palestine Vote" abstention, I take it that Isreal got through to her. Well, good. This works out for me and my pro-Israeli stance.

    Your pro-military occupation and ethnic cleansing stance.

    Huh?

    She abstained on a Platform Vote?

    And, a Syrian YouTuber (who likes to stir the pot and troll for attention) doesn't like it?

    Cool.

    So what?

    What is the Big Deal?

    Politically, it seems like a very smart move on her part.

    It looks to me like just another Faux Outrage "AOC Bad" Narrative.

    It is truly amazing how AOC has trolling the RW down to a science

    You're confused. Since when is supporting Palestinian rights a right wing position? AOC is the right winger here.

    Just caught this. Is this a racist slur? You're not right wing?

    Don't care whether she voted or not. What I find ironic is that they're mentioning "racism" when talking about Palestinians. Which is not a race. This is just another example of the word being watered down.

    Here's a thought....why don't we all WAIT UNTIL THE WOMAN EXPLAINS HER VOTE instead of treating speculation, opinion, supposition and conjecture as fact. Couldn't hurt.

    What explanation would satisfy you? This isn't her first infraction. It's #9999999999

    You and AOC are to the right of the country on this issue.

    What do Americans think of the BDS movement, aimed at Israel?

    AOC finally did something right. Of course, she did it for completely self-serving reasons, but, like a broken clock, she finally managed to get it right,

    Palestine is a death cult, and, if they want to be taken seriously when they whine about human rights, then maybe they should consider acting like human beings, and not bloodthirsty terrorist fiends who give cash rewards to the terrorist murderers that they worship like rock stars.

    so you say....others say different. Since I'm an Independent voter, I can use critical thinking and make a decision NOT guided by party ideology. If what you allege is found true, then you're justified. If not, then you're wrong. Anything else is just sheer speculation. My previous statement stands.

    Maybe it was because The Pelosi-Schumer Democrat Party realized they needed the Jewish votes and money.

    This could be very upsetting to AOC’s StarBucks drinking partner, the Somalian Princess, IIhan Omar

    She's a Trojan horse for the Left.

    She's better off not voting until she can find Palestine and Israel on a map.

    Fortunately, support for Israel has bi partisan approval. Alexandria Ocasio Cortez seems to understand that.

    I am a life long Democrat. I have only voted for two Republicans in my life. I do not care about Israeli human rights violations against the Palestinians. The only Palestinians I care about are the Christian Palestinians. I think the rest should have been deported right after Israel's victory in the 1967 Six Day War, and all the land Israel conquered should have been formally annexed. The Arabs should have been told that if they threaten Israel again they will lose more land, and that it will be ethnically cleansed.

    I doubt either of them gives a F. Israel/Palestine is but a political football in US Politics.

    AOC represents a small cohort of incompetent people who create damage, and who seek power and profit in politics. Nothing more. She's a fake. A sellout.

    Crazy that so many young people are voting for the slightly older idiots who are spouting utopian unicorn dreams. Dreams which have been tried and failed for hundreds if not thousands of years.

    Oh well. She's in a seat of American political power now, probably permanently. What does she care.

    "Hollywood" AOC. Pure performance art. Cue: Drama music.

    AOC abstains from a lot of things. Like knowledge, common sense, humility, garbage disposals...

    "I’m going to make some Democrats mad if they’re trying to deliver paydays for Wall Street donors. But that doesn’t mean I’m going to burn the house down over it." - AOC

    Translation: 'I'm theater to placate the Left. I'm going to grandstand against Republicans and provide a Left cover for a right-wing party.'

    "The New Establishment".
