I’m not sure I buy that because explaining to your fellow Americans the genocide Israel is committing does not even require raising the current administration once. Once more Americans recognize the blatant atrocities Israel is committing and how Netanyahu has perpetrated around 40 x October 7ths not counting longterm damage to civilian infrastructure, then polls change; then policy changes as a reflection of said polling.
Whether we like it or not, the administration is carefully weighing different groups in different states, and over-committing to one may lead to net-losses from the others for the election. Hence their delicate toeing the line with not abandoning Israel but sympathizing with the civilian plight in Gaza.
Forget the fact that there is massive risk to withdraw military aid to Israel, where Bibi just so happens to ignore more intelligence of an impending Hamas attack. Then Israel accuses the Democrats of antisemitism and leaving them defenseless against terrorists. If it wasn’t obvious, this sinks Democrats and leaves the door open for a far more pro-Israeli administration.
“Look at how bad this is, get mad!”
“Ahhh, i’m mad!! Now what do I do?!”
“Well certainly don’t go bothering the democrats with it”
Lmao. The shapes we twist ourselves into by trying to acknowledge our convictions without letting go of partisanship. You do you bud, but I think protesting the democrats into action is the best thing to be doing right now.
lol man, these strawmen are simply out of hand if not bad faith. I really don’t know if you have the prerequisite reading comprehension to engage with.
Please come back when you can actually respond, with substance, to the points I’ve made instead of petty deflections. Thank you.
