On the one hand, it's not that "Gaza" is a hill people are willing to die on, it's that "You cannot make me party to genocide of this kind and continue to have my support, full stop." is a hill many people are willing to die on and set on fire on their way out. And... I don't think we can be blamed for feeling that way. I certainly do.

On the other hand, you're absolutely right about everything you say about Democracy and right wingers and the only way to stop it.

I will vote for Biden to try to stop Trump, but he and I are not friends and I do not "support" him. I am voting against Trump, not for Biden.
