Wish the push was to tell the Democratic party not to engage with genocide not to tell us we have to suck it up to vote for genocide anyway.
Put it a different way: if both candidates are willing to turn a blind eye to genocide, who do you think you'd have a better chance lobbying to change their stance? One support a cease fire and a two state solution. The other doesn't think a two start solution could work, and that Israel needs to do whatever they need to do to get the war over with.
I'm clear both are for the extermination of Palestinians and will support Israel in all their wars. I think we're kidding ourselves acting like the difference between the two on those issues is substantial at all. They both are lobbied to so much by Israel's pac
Based on this i'd think its harder to lobby the Dems but I really think neither party is movable on their positions in respect to Israel.
Totally agree that Kamala will be better on everything else though. Just find it fucked that we're told to suck it up on the pro genocide stances.

Holy hell, you liberals really have gone completely off the rocker in your corner of Lemmy, huh? I mean, Jesus Christ the shit I am reading in these comments is completely insane.
“Everyone I disagree with is a foreign agent”, say the people whose same views Israel are literally running bot farms about.
“Trump would be worse”, say the people who have admitted that the genocide of Palestine is an acceptable means to an end, as if queer folks are supposed to believe you won’t be their next tool of convenience to be discarded.
“Look at all these policy differences”, say the party who brag about being half Republicans and use their policies.
Y’all are going to lose, and it’s not going to be because of the 100 US leftists on Lemmy.
I’m sure you’ll blame us anyway though, because liberals have objectively abandoned reality.
Look at yourselves. You’ve become MAGA, and don’t even try to deny it. This is the shit you made fun of Republicans for doing for 4 years of Trump. I thought Democracy was about winning votes, not demanding them under threats of violence? Or is this another one of PugJesus’ cronies?
Ok gaslighter
Yeah, the US elections have a high chance of losing, largely due to large disinformation campaigns not unlike the one your comment forms a part of.

Da! DA! Sprinkle the truth in so they can't use it against us! This is why you make the best borscht!
