You’re misusing the term straw man. A straw man is when you’re arguing against something someone else has not asserted, pretending that it’s actually what they said. You have actually said she has voted to fund genocide when she actually voted against said funding and spoken out directly against genocide. You have intentionally chosen to ignore her actual actions and her words that contradict the narrative you’re pushing. You are pushing a straw man, ironically enough.
Providing any aid to Israel as they carry out a genocide with U.S. support is completely unacceptable. This is even more true of military aid of any kind. Any funds that go to Israel assist this brutal genocide. Any support for Israel legitimizes its eliminationist campaign against the Palestinian people. The fact that Representative Ocasio-Cortez acknowledges that Israel is carrying out this genocide makes her support for military aid all the more disappointing and incongruous.
What is being discussed here is that she voted for military aid by voting against MTG’s amendment that would have blocked $500M of military aid.
False. She voted against an amendment by MTG that had no chance of passing and voting for or against it was not voting for military aid for Israel. It was a waste of time and a political stunt by a racist conspiracy theorist. The aid was provided by the bill already. Voting against the bill is how you vote against the aid to Israel. And that’s what she did. Discussing the amendment that had no chance of passing is like blaming someone for what they did in a dream you had about them.
It’s a literal fact. She voted nay on the bill. You’ve literally posted screenshots of her post citing the voting record. You keep pretending that everything you reference and link to says something different than it actually says.

A statement that agrees she didn’t fund genocide, contrary to your false claims.

Straight up lying now I see.
