    AOC speaking truth to power again ✊️

    AIPAC is a bigoted propaganda apparatus for an apartheid state and an endorsement from them should be considered as toxic as an endorsement from the KKK or Rick Snyder who deliberately poisoned the drinking water of Flint, Michigan and then lied about it.

        Are you unfamiliar with the expression, pretending that AIPAC aren’t powerful or pretending that anything AOC said about them isn’t true?

            I’m just gonna quote Grammarist as they explain such things for a living and as such do it better than I could:

            To speak truth to power means to demand a moral response to a problem, rather than an expedient, easy or selfish response. The phrase speak truth to power carries a connotation of bravery, of risking either the status quo, one’s reputation or livelihood, or the wrath of the person one is confronting.

    Reads like an ai generated article. How long can a summarization of a tweet be? 2000 words?

              No, people that use a grammatical error as an argument for why someone’s point is wrong. Really was just missing the “Actually” there

      No? I like Bernie and I agree with AOC. Bernie does too, he doesn’t like them.

      Sorry your strawman is in shambles, maybe mspaint a crying Wojack or something to make yourself feel better.

        Bernie is still going with the “israel has the right to defend itself” meme while international law says israel factually doesn’t have that right as it is an illegal occupier.

      Does what? Speaks truth to power? Opposes insurrectionists and undue foreign government influence on American elections from an apartheid regime?

      You’ve been huffing propaganda fumes without the necessary protective equipment known as common sense and critical thinking, haven’t you?
