    Again, most Americans have more than one issue on their minds. If all you care about is one thing, that’s great for you but you’re not having a conversation about whether a congress person being left enough.

    Again, if not AOC, then who is left enough?

      Stopping genocide isn’t enough?!

        No. Of course not. If that’s the only issue, or even top 20 issues, you think that matters to most people, you are either a very privileged, delusional, or malinformed person. In most polling, the country has been divided in half about the war to begin with.

        July - https://news.gallup.com/poll/646955/disapproval-israeli-action-gaza-eases-slightly.aspx

        Do you approve or disapprove of the military action Israel has taken in Gaza?
        42% approve, 48% disapprove (+6%, -7% since March).

        For the third time, if AOC is not left enough, then who?

          I think you got your answer: nobody is left enough

            Correct. We do not have actual leftist politicians in the US. We have a small few that are left leaning.

              How about prominent leftists take center stage? Real leftists

              We do not have actual leftist politicians in the US.

              So you knew the answer all along.

            I guess that’s it.
            I mean, it’s not a trick question. I genuinely want to know.

            I don’t have a problem with people being passionate about topics. It’s important. It’s also important to be somewhat informed or at least able to pull rational facts before you go on about something. And it’s important to understand you’ll never know everything going on about a subject or in the minds of others from your keyboard. Don’t let your emotions blind you - allow them to propel your curiosity and intellectual growth.
