It's almost as if politicians (particularly at this level) often need to walk a rhetorical tightrope so as to avoid alienating large swathes of voters. Crazy.
The majority of the Democrat voterbase opposes genocide. She is continuing to drive Democrat voters to third parties by not taking a strong anti-genocide stance.
I love how simple people here think this is. Just say fuck Israel, go full force against them and when Trump wins we will..... Wait, what?oh yeah, now we don't get the votes we need to win and now Trump wins and now Trump will make it exponentially worse for Gaza and Ukraine and the entire fucking world.
It. Is. Not. That. Easy.
Let her win first, shall we, please? Pretty please? Once she wins you can throw all this anti genocide stuff on her head but until then please realize that she'll have to appease large groups of people who are so pro Israel that they ignore the genocide.
Exactly. Also, it's interesting that these people are nowhere to be found at primary time, nor do they ever seem to give a shit about anything below Presidential election.
If they actually give a shit about electing progressives, they wouldn't disappear for four years.
