Zeteo · The ‘Moral Question of Our Time’: CO Dem on U.S. Aid to Israel

  1. 1. Melat Kirros said the movement she represents is about people over power and will win in places like Michigan, not just coastal or blue districts.
  2. 2. Kirros argued that critics like Alyssa Slotkin don't know what the movement is fighting for, citing Medicare for all, housing first, and universal child care as popular with working people.
  3. 3. Kirros said young people are scared about their futures due to AI, climate change, and fascism, and are willing to fight at every level without waiting for permission.
  4. 4. Kirros described building a movement of the people, with policy platforms like Medicare for all, universal child care, ending foreign wars, and reinvesting in communities.
  5. 5. Kirros said that across the country, people face similar housing, healthcare, and debt crises, and the movement fights for universal rights that transcend district or state lines.
  6. 6. Kirros said her victory sent two messages: bold reforms are needed to meet existential crises like AI and climate change, and candidates can win without corporate or special interest money.
  7. 7. Kirros said the genocide in Palestine is funded by US tax dollars and is similar to genocides in Ethiopia, Sudan, and the Congo, operating from the same playbook.
  8. 8. Kirros called the issue of US aid to Israel the moral question of our time, urging the party to catch up with voters who are meeting this moment.
