The screenshot does not support your title afaict
- It does. Read it again.
  
  I did, three times. Please explain for my smooth brain.

I read this as her calling those trying to paint her as supporting the Israeli military as "neo nazis".
- These are her words. Get out of here with your lies.
- Which is just as bad
  
  I disagree. It would be far worse for her to bring her colleagues down than to call out misinformation from who she perceives to be bad actors.
- She is talking about MTG's bill specifically.
  
  It was an amendment that was never going to pass, not a bill. It's important to know and recognize the difference. An amendment is useless if it doesn't get added to the bill and voting for or against an amendment is different than voting for or against the bill.
  It's like arguing over what goes in a shopping cart at a store where you're not going to buy anything anyway.

Apparently, NOT saying something means you said it.
- Yes. Implying that you didn't vote for something because only Neo Nazis would do that, does mean saying that all progressives who voted for it are Neo Nazis.
  
  So if a Black person votes for something, all who vote for it are Black?

"Have you stopped hitting your wife yet?"
What is more likely, that MTG actually wanted to stop the genocide, or that she wrote a bill designed to cause chaos?
- MTG knew it was politically popular to oppose Israel. AOC would rather lose voters than oppose Israel.
  
  AOC literally voted against the bill. She literally voted against funding Israel. She literally said she opposes genocide and has called Israel out for it.

Does OP have a problem with anyone but AOC?

Dawt emm ell.

ETA has anyone told her that the overwhelming majority of Repubs (read: the actual neo-Nazis) voted with her against the bill?
Also choosing this moment to shill for Google is such a bad face, too

does she not realize she's an elected fascist official for a slave empire?
what do Americans think Americans are?
- So, in detail, what's your plan to get rid of Trump?
  If we're not going to vote him out, how do you think we should get rid of him?
  Talk about thinks like financing the struggle; maintaining security; communications and all the other little things an armed insurrection would need.
  
  So, in detail, what’s your plan to get rid of Trump?
  So, in detail, what's your plan to stop your fascist empire's genocidal rampage? You know, something that matters, unlike your psychosocial relationship with the specific person of Trump
  
  what the f are you talking about
  there is no "America" in the future
  there is no future for the slave empire currently blighting the continent
