    So if there is a massive problem that we can’t directly take action to fix, you try to attack the source of the problem or other adjacent problems.

    I think that is the crux of the issue. I don’t see condemning Israel and stopping the sale of weapons as some massive wall. The dems failed to take action and I’m taking action right now by holding them accountable for it.

    The fact is they didn’t even try to solve the issue. Israel themselves admitted to it. I consider it their fault Trump won and even more people have to suffer. I see the constant scapegoating post-election as serving nothing except enabling them.

    They need to be told their platform, built on foreign genocide and apathy, is literally atrocious. We need to demand change, not give them an easy way out.

      You’re holding them accountable? How? By making sure they’re not in power, so we’re at where we are today? You’re holding them accountable by having people deported en masse as a result of your strategy?

      You seem to think you’re hurting dems by not voting. You’re not. They’re still rich and in power. The people that were actually impacted are the people in LA, all the small businesses falling apart from tariffs, people being grabbed off the street.

      All this, because you want to stick it to the dems, do you really feel good about the effects of that choice?

        post-election post-election post-election

        I was vocal about voting for her before the election and did so myself even if it felt wrong. We are well past the point where supporting genocide helps them win an election.

        The dems lost because voters are babies that couldn’t stomach genocide.

        Do you understand how vile the narrative you try to spread is? It’s simply enabling the dems to keep doing Israel’s bidding. By contrast, I’m saying:

        The dems lost because they supported genocide

        Blaming and holding them accountable for their actions might actually lead to change while blaming voters brings about absolutely nothing. If they give us the same platform next election, we will lose again. They have to change and we have to pressure them to. It is their job to listen to what the people want, not the other way around.
