That is the smell I get from him as well. I have found myself liking some things he says but then i think of his support for the isreali genocide in gaza and it greatly shadows anything positive he might have a hand in.
My litmus test for support has come down to where they lean on the support for genocide. Given his stance on that, I’m not exactly surprised about him voting for the bill in the op or the other things you mention.



Well said and I agree.
The whole defensive weapons package argument is not a good excuse to keep delivering bombs to our genocidal maniac of an “ally”. If you give weapons to a bully that can blow up anyone that retaliates against their aggression, that in itself becomes an offensive tool. I can’t stand them trying to manipulate our empathy like that.
I’ve since checked out Ossof’s voting record and wonder why I even considered him nominally progressive.
