Ocasio-Cortez Loses the Democratic Socialists’ Endorsement Over Israel
nytimes.com

The Democratic Socialists of America pulled its endorsement of Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York this week, accusing the progressive congresswoman of being insufficiently supportive of the Palestinian cause and efforts to end the war in Gaza..

Her approach has increasingly strained her relationship with some of the left’s most strident critics of Israel. When she rallied last month in the Bronx with Senator Bernie Sanders and Representative Jamaal Bowman, dozens of pro-Palestinian demonstrators angry over her endorsement of Mr. Biden chanted “You’re a fraud, A.O.C.”

So she loses endorsement by some insignificant group, am I reading this right?

Depends on what you call insignificant. Losing tens of thousands of voters doesn't seem to matter to Democrats so sure.

Democrats are projected to beat Trump by a landslide right?

Total votes don't count, if they did Trump would've never been president. Losing tens of thousands of voters literally might not matter if they're all in blue states.
