There are some other things transpiring in American politics right now. But we must note that Democratic leaders are now unabashedly stating what Bernie Sanders supporters said over and over in 2020: the party pushed Joe Biden primarily to stop Bernie.

      That’s not the point. There is not a candidate on the ballot that can win that doesn’t support it.

      Which is why the only option for people who actually believe genocide support is non-negotiable is voting Uncommitted.

      Joe Biden is not minimizing Israel’s genocide, he’s actively facilitating it to the maximum extent. There’s no way for you to vote Joe Biden and pretend you’re the anti-genocide. No amount of rhetorical backflips will change that you’re voting for a genocide supporter.

      You might not like that hard realization that that is what you are now, but that’s what your vote communicates to Democrats; “I accept genocide support as part of the party platform and am willing to go as far to the extreme right as you want, as long as the otherside is slightly more to the right. I’ll never revolt.”

      […] very real chance of making progress in the future?

      There is no progress through a party that supports genocide. None. That’s already been established historically. You’re essentially voting exactly like a Republican from the 80s-90s, that’s your “progress”.

          You care so much about genocide you’re ok with the finish the job candidate.

          Go look at what’s happening in Gaza, stop fucking covering up your eyes to the reality of what Biden is enabling. Destruction and starvation to such an extent that people literally can’t even calculate it. The people who would account for the dead have have been bombed to death along with everyone else. Hospitals reduced to rubble, schools leveled, cemetaries bulldozed, aid workers murdered. Millions of people people herded into “safe zones” then then bombed.

          If this isn’t finishing the fucking the job I don’t know what is:

          Fuck anyone who tries to “yeah but Trump” this away. This is Joe Biden’s “moderate genocide”. Fuck anyone who excuses this is or demands that others accept it as a “compromise” so you can save your own comfort. How fucking dare you try to convince people to support someone who’s doing this.
