Maybe AOC doesn’t mind that Gaza getting flattened.

Maybe she reads settler the same way as Janet yellen reads Das kapital

Maybe she knows that Biden losing would only result in worse deviation for Gaza.

You do realize if we keep following this logic forever the DNC basically loses any incentive to improve at all, as long as they remain even slightly better than the GOP they will keep winning. So at what point do we say "enough is enough" and draw a line where we won't support them even if the other option is worse? Does that line not exist? If it doesn't does that mean we're trapped in this cycle forever? What's the long term plan here? Trump isn't going to turn into dust if he loses this election, even if he did his supporters would just find a new cult leader, so are we are just eternally supporting awful liberals forever to keep the super awful republicans out of power?

This already happened before even the oldest of us were even voting age. The Vote Blue No Matter Who crowd is only accelerating the DNC rightward shift to unprecedented levels
