    Thinking democrats couldn’t possibly do it cuz republicans are is wild.

    If you seriously need an article on us supporting Israel’s genocide on Gaza I can as well.

    Yea, republicans may be worse on these but the literal point of many voting third party is it’s absolutely fucked to just blindly accept the party of “slightly less excited for genocide but still definitely excited for genocide.” One party being worse should not be a pass.

      Republicans do this horrible thing all the time and in really bad ways.

      A Democrat once suggested thinking about possibly doing a part of it, might have been a joke I dunno.

      Clearly, both sides are the same.

          Yea, republicans may be worse on these but

          That “but” is irrelevant if you understand at all how the American electoral system works. You choose the lesser or the greater of two evils. Always. You want to change the party itself, vote in the primaries.

            yes, yes, sell your soul to Genocide and maybe you can buy it back if you vote hard enough! Or at least they’ll only increase the state sponsored genocide by a little bit more each year! That is… uhhh. good? Yes thats what I want to call that. Good!

            Wild you can say a but about still murdering tons of small children is irrelevant.

                If all the children are dead either way then you haven’t actually murdered less children.

                  Ok, but only one side is calling for murdering literally all of the children, and that’s the Republicans. Democrats are at least attempting to work towards peace and provide humanitarian aid.

                  It’s fine if you say that’s not enough. I agree. But it’s not “kill em all”.

                    Democrats are at least attempting to work towards peace and provide humanitarian aid.

                    That’s what they say and what they’d like us to think but that’s not what Biden’s policy reflects, nor Kamala’s language and conduct in her campaign.

                    A Palestinian-American voice, a rather reasonable and balanced one, wasn’t even allowed to speak at the DNC. Plenty of time for the families of hostages and a pandering cop from Genesee County, Michigan, though.

                    We are long past “self defense” and deep into genocide territory, yet Kamala keeps droning on about Israel’s “right to defend themselves” even as Israel sabotages peace talks and opens a new front in Lebanon. When does self defense end and genocide begin if not at any point before now? Why is it unprovoked terrorism when the brown people do it but defensive war when the west does it? When are they going to stop “urging” and start threatening aid?

                    This is a clear bias and they’ve given us absolutely no sign that their pit of generosity towards Israel has any bottom to it, yet because the republicans are more open about their hatred you’ve given a pass to policy that will end in the exact same outcome. Total destruction of Palestine and a continuing violent apartheid with zero consequences for Israel.
