From the inclusion of a moron’s nonsensical quote tweet and your history, I gather that you think this is supposed to look bad for AOC. Even your title criticism is nonsensical, as she says what you want her to say, just not the exact string.
I’m starting to think you may not be that bright.
It’s better than I feared, but not as good as I hoped. She can’t seem to decide if the war itself is wrong or if war without Congressional approval is wrong. She says some good things here, I like that she called out the blatant aggression, but it’s mixed with this weak liberal garbage about Congress’s authority and the Constitution that undermines her condemnation.
What will she say if there is a vote, and the warmongers that control Congress vote for war?
I think that’s just shotgun argumentation. Say all the reasons something’s wrong so that if one doesn’t move someone the other might. The problem in the “think of the process” argument is when it becomes the primary argument because it assumes the “don’t kill people” one isn’t important.
If it’s both “war is wrong” and “presidents siezing war powers is wrong” and Congress gives its approval, then that doesn’t take away her other criticism. She spends a lot more space taking about why the war is wrong than the process issue, but the process issue is also important because without taking back war powers statements of moral opposition mean nothing.
