And what does that do?
Gives ammo to GOP and their allies to target Biden and attract fence-sitters and unaware.
These things don't happen in a vacuum.
Biden isn't rubbing his hands with glee and laughing maniacally.
Do you honestly think these options weren't considered over the last six months?
On the contrary. The majority of the population doesn't approve of supporting genocide, especially Democrats and prospective Dem voters further left.
The status quo of supporting the genocide isn't winning over anyone who would vote Republican if they stopped. It's alienating millions of crucial voters who won't vote at all if they DON'T stop.
We can easily agree that not voting is a bad idea that is likely to contribute to the risk of mango Mussolini winning.
Given that, we should be able to also agree that it's a bad idea to knowingly keep doing something morally and ethically reprehensible that is causing people to do just that.
Makes it harder for Netanyahu to continue committing genocide.
We shouldn't keep supporting genocide just because you're scared of what the GOP might do. That's a shitty reason for anything, and it's disgusting cowardice in this context.
Should we also not support healthcare, trans rights, women's rights, work reform , tax reform, climate change laws and all the other things they get angry at? The road to fascism is paved with political convenience.
I'm worried that'll be their next strategy considering their pivot strong right on immigration
“Oh, I’m so sorry, I’d love to stop the genocide, but think of the optics! It would be soooooooo optically bad if we stopped the genocide! It could make the fence sitters vote for trump! We all know the fence sitters love genocide!”
