us politics
@aescling nobody who is a “first” in american politics gets there by being a radical
us politics
@aescling (and no well-connected radical would think the best use of their time is running for U.S. Congress)
re: us politics
@Lady yeah i’m not surprised either, except for how blatant the hypocrisy was on voting to fund Israel
re: us politics
@aescling i don’t think it’s hypocritical i think it’s a change in priorities. hypocrisy would be if she continues to criticize people for voting to fund the state of israel after this, which she won’t
re: us politics
@Lady i not sure if that would make me sadder than just hypocrisy
us politics
@aescling kind of what i expected tbh
