It would be strategically moronic for them to speak up right now. We already know their stance, at least the few who have criticized Israel, is at least a “soft” no for Joe. Meaning if literally anyone else comes along not named Joe Biden then that is preferable.
Also, expecting elected US representatives or senators to openly shit on the leader of the party when they’ve all been critical of him for other legitimate reasons is setting oneself up for disappointment. Should they express themselves more? Yeah, I’d like that. But it’s not gonna happen. I think people need to hard chop draw a big ass line | in their brains between US electoralism (ie EVERY candidate basically is dogshit) and their own personal ideology. The very fact that anyone here (hopefully) read a Marx or Lenin book, just one!, means you are like multiple degrees to the left of anyone in an elected seat in the US. At a certain point the criticisms are just ranting. Ok, rant away. But if the intent is to have actual criticisms which are realistic within our dogshit world, expecting AOC to go out and shout “off with his demented head!” is very unrealistic. Don’t shoot the messenger here either (me)
