    That’s the challenge the DNC has, isn’t it? I wouldn’t relish that job since I think Harris’ position won’t change, the DNC being the institution it is.

    I think if I had do, I’d argue that while the DNC is 100% wrong on Palestine, Trump is stronger in his support of Israel, he’s even less sympathetic to the Palestinians AND he will aim to make life in America harder for Muslims just as he tried in his first term.

    It’s a pragmatic choice, not an enthusiastic one, and it’s hard to drive voters to the polls on pragmatism alone.

      The thing is, support for Israel isn’t moral for the DNC or GOP, it’s economic. The US relies on Israel to serve as a land-based aircraft carrier equivalent, it’s the military foothold by which the US maintains Imperialist control and supports the Petro-Dollar.

      The issue for Muslim voters is that they do not wish to support genocide, and believe both parties to be unwavering in their support.
