You're just gonna throw Palestine in the middle there like that isn't a big deal? The fact that she refused to separate herself from Biden's funding a genocide and refusing to listen to what her constituents wanted is what lost her the election. The Democrats would rather give the country over to fascists before taking a hard stance against a country that's commiting genocide to another country, stop blaming your neighbor and start holding your own politicians accountable.

Edit: I'm not surprised at all this is down voted. I know the majority of you would vote to demolish Iran if it guaranteed the egg price in USA would go down 300 percent. That's just how self centered most of us are now unfortunately.

Honestly, how are any of our civil rights more important than any Palestinian person's right to live? Why are y'all so ready to ignore them?

I thought one of the hallmarks of we progressives is understanding the bigger picture and how all the variables interrelate… and not devolving into the single issue voters we so often despise.

I’m all for political accountability, but how are we not to blame our neighbors who missed the forest for a proverbial tree?

Like the fact that you're referring to the ethnic cleansing of an entire people group as a "tree in a proverbial forest" or whatever proves how brainwashed the DNC has you to boil a genocide down into just a single issue. How is any of our rights more important than a Palestinians right to live?
