    point is, democrats are better, and if you are going to argue this, try not being decently-off and white.

      That’s the whole point they aren’t better, they are standing by as a genocide is happening in real time and not even verbally protesting. Weeks of indiscriminate bombing, 7k dead, thousands more displaced, revenge for a terrorist attack that killed 2k people, with no end in sight.

      They claim it is all in the name of defeating Hamas but like, cmon. To quote, if you killed the leader of Hamas but caught my brother and uncle in the blast as “acceptable collateral damage”, my immediate reaction would be to start Hamas 2.

      Israelis have compared it to 9/11 to draw sympathy from Americans, and Israel is speedrunning the same awful crap that we did to ourselves and to foreign countries in the years that followed it. In what world has the US’s reaction to 9/11 made the world safer or more peaceful for even the average American, to say nothing of people in the Middle East??

      That is what the Democrats are supporting near unanimously (with the exception of a few house Democrats, thank you ilhan Omar and co). It has to stop ASAP in the name of basic humanity. I can’t stand all this being done in my name
