Like it's clearly just a performative vote to show support for Israel, and it's mostly bullshit.

Its strategic rather than performative though. The point was to put Hamas sexual abuse in headlines and build support for the invasion. If she voted yes it would be reported as a unanimous resolution.

I think theres a fair argument against her decision to vote present, but then like theres a much fairer argument that the Democratic Party shouldnt be so willing about funneling billions of dollars into creating a humanitarian crisis in the Middle East and working with Republicans to accomplish it.

The college president antisemitism debacle isnt apples-to-apples because they couldve easily answered that question affirmatively and pushed back against any subsequent questions painting Palestinian protests as antisemitism. A House resolution is yes/no/present.
