all of this. I feel like this isn't all that hard to parse but for some reason there's an almost rabid attempt to silence that 3rd group as being illegitimate or even imaginary and it's super fucked up. and that's where this thread has been stuck essentially since she apologized.
people literally insinuating that AOC is lying
it's insane
Just gonna put it out there, Chikor should not have been banned for being the other side of the conversation. The one that made sense.
Chelsea, you idiot.
What do you think was going to happen when the dogpiling went on and you were in part responsible?

lying and feeling social pressure to make a partially bad faith statement aren't the same thing
Wow, we're banning Jewish people for being anti-semitic up in here. This thread has become a farce.
I don't think anyone is saying that she's lying. She's threading the needle and politicin'.
this post was made in response to this tweet by AOC insinuating that she might be lying about having private conversations with progressive Jews
and as we saw with clipjoint earlier, certain people will call you an antisemite or an apologist for antisemitism if you even attempt to have this conversation
very good dynamic for discourse
It's getting..yeah. I am out and I will say that I hope she doesn't stop going after AIPAC. Somebody needs to, most other people around her are happy living in this pathetic status quo. Peace
Why are people disappointed by AOC's response? It was pretty good. Rather than following the speaker by condemning and not raising the issue about AIPAC she did it very well.
Hell, it's Pelosi's job to mediate, not AOC, but it looks like, as it always seem to be recently, that AOC is the one constantly doing the right thing.

This:
Does not "Make sense", it's an absolutely awful statement that ignores the very real issues in the US w/ anti-semitism that have exploded in the wake of Trump alongside issues facing other minorities.
I agree that they shouldn't have been banned for being the other side of the conversation, which they weren't thankfully
the post they were banned for though? it was absolutely disgusting and considering there's an actual growing body count of white American Jews, yeah nah, fuck outta here with that
She didn't think. You'd have to have a particular view (as in, in it to understand it) to not use ethnic beef to promote your next gig.

Alright. I'm just going to take your word for it because I've been on that side so many times I really couldn't tell you how many times. I would have liked an explanation, and further discussion from him about that. You all are acting soft.
I've probably deleted about 10 drafts of a post I was going to make pretty much telling Pelosi to go fuck herself and anyone else that agrees with that sham, fake ass ethics letter.
Shameful shit we've been witnessing these last couple days, but par for the course because this is just the status quo in action. Fighting the same enemy we've always been fighting: money, power, influence, and control.
Because they don't believe anyone could have possibly been upset in good faith.
take my word for what? that saying Jews are "pretending" to be persecuted in America is a garbage ass post? you think I'm soft for accurately assessing that as a garbage ass post?
seriously if you have to take someone else's word for why that was a garbage ass post maybe you should take a step back and self reflect because I'm at a loss
