AOC eviscerates Biden: "The horrors unfolding in northern Gaza are the result of a completely unrestrained Netanyahu gov—fully armed by the Biden admin while food aid is blocked and patients are bombed in hospitals. This is a genocide of Palestinians. The US must stop enabling it. Arms embargo now"

too little too late sadly.

good tweet but it would have been more useful like 10 months ago.
Harris and Trump are unified in their support of israel and both aren't moving.

It wouldn’t have meant anything 10 months earlier either 

AOC or anyone who feels this way has no real power or the ability to motivate to the degree that people in power will act

I don't agree with that because it just leads you to defeatist attitude. You need to continue to hope that people can change and will do good things if you can reach them even if it's very unlikely.

I disagree. You have to be sober minded about what the options are in a situation like this. AOC as an individual isn't very powerful. I think the only path to stopping what's going on are: 1) resistance in Palestine and the region itself; 2) mass mobilization and organization, in the form of strikes and economic sabotage; and 3) military defections and mutiny, both in Israel and allied states. Outside that, you're not going to see much movement on this issue. Does it mean everything short of it is not productive? No, not exactly. But I think people need to get serious about what it would take to seriously defeat an imperialist war and genocide like this. It's not gonna be a few politicians boldly proclaiming the truth. It'll take mobilization and disruption like we have not seen.

I feel like you are disagreeing with the other guy more than me. I never said AOC was very powerful. I said the tweet would have been more useful 10 months ago. It would have been useful to help on your 2nd point. 

&gt;2) mass mobilization and organization, in the form of strikes and economic sabotage

I think AOC could have helped in motivating people and that could have helped the situation instead of lying for Biden all this time. I don't see how anybody could disagree with that.

Never in a million years would AOC be a spark for mass economic sabotage.

I didn't say she was the spark for a mass economic sabotage.

I said she could have helped the situation. 

Also considering the UAW made a statement about Israel and Gaza, I think more union organization backed by more popular support that AOC could have helped with could have helped. https://uaw.org/uaw-statement-israel-palestine/
