Insinuating that the liberals are the bad guys. I went through the !usa@lemmy.ml post history and a lot of posts by @geneva_convenience@lemmy.ml are factually skewed and very suggestive, such as this post suggesting that AOC is actually pro-genocide.
Can effective action be taken to clean up the Fediverse? Can @geneva_convenience@lemmy.ml be banned from federation?
As much as I love AOC, and as much as I HATE MTG, she did put forward a bill to reduce how much we are sending to Israel and 4 progressives voted with her on it but not AOC.
It’s confusing. I’d like to hear her reasoning.

And there we go. A well reasoned and rational explanation. :)
I knew I liked her.
Except it’s not well reasoned at all. You give a genocidal fascist Nation $500 million dollars to spend on defense then they have an extra $500 million dollars to spend on something else. Wonder what they’re going to spend it on? Giving Israel a missile Shield allows them to act with impunity in the region. They can attack whoever they want knowing that they can’t be attacked back. Any funding or aid to a genocidal nation is funding genocide. That’s just a fact.
It’s reducing or it’s still a bill sending $ / weapons. So if they phrased it like, here’s a bill so instead of sending 3.8bil we send 3bil, to arm Israel. So therefore you are voting to send $ / weapons to Israel.
She wants that $ to be zero, or she won’t endorse it. It’s less, but less is still sending money / and or weapons to them. She would be voting for that. Even though it’s a teensy bit less.
It’s all about how it’s phrased. They phrased it like she supports the genocide because she refused to vote for a bill that SENDS MONEY TO ISRAEL TO FUND THEM USING WEAPONS TO KILL CHILDREN. Sorry. I lost my cool there. Not cool. My bad.
