How quickly people on this thread forget that the American people are sick and tired of funding the genocide while they themselves can’t afford a trip to the grocery store, and maybe it’s an issue Dems should take into consideration since it (arguably) sunk the Harris campaign.
No clue why you’re gettimg downvoted. Sometimes it feels like Lemmy exists in this weird quasi liberal bubble where they think leftist=tankie. Like do the people replyimg to go not understand that the DNC has a record low approval rating as well?
There are a lot of Reddit libs migrating here as that platform enshittifies who haven’t had their awakening yet. They still think they’re left and progressive, or - perhaps more accurately - that the DNC is the progressive, left-leaning choice; when in reality it’s at best a center-right party with an increasing number of obvious incidents of being controlled opposition when it comes to a number of issues (including and especially Israel)
Yeah like whoopsie we almost stopped Trump from spending literally all the money on bombing Iran for basically no fucking reason, but ONE Democrat broke ranks AGAIN guys? Oh, John Fetterman? Again? Oh jeez, well we tried guys, it just wasn’t in the cards. Maybe if you vote
Blue no matter who even harder next time we can write a sternly-worded-enough bill to condemn these actions!
Anyway I’m ranting but they need to make that journey. It’s not enough and it never will be, the DNC. The best for now is to use it as a launching platform for actual progressives and leftists.
Most of them are republicans. You cannot get their votes. The others are genocide wing democrats. The same wing that’s always telling everyone to vote blue no matter who.
schumer is the top democrat in the country and he’s a rabid zionist. Like yes i agree with you, im strongly antizionist but there’s no candidate in the genral election for people like me, even on this single issue.
mainstream media wants you to think AOC and Tlaib represent the democratic party but they really dont and they have very little influence on what happens in Washington, unfortunately of course.
I’m talking about the voters here, not the legislators.
In case you’ve missed it, there’s a lot of anger against the genocide wing of the party. But yeah, let’s devote ourselves to netanyahu’s slightest whim because schumer.
LOL

Yeah but a lot of american people are also zionists so it’s not so simple
Let’s look at the zionist vote, then.
Most of them are republicans. You cannot get their votes. The others are genocide wing democrats. The same wing that’s always telling everyone to vote blue no matter who.

Yeah and there’s a lot of anger from the genocide wing too, as wrong as it is a ton of people are genocidal including many democrat voters
The ones who are always saying to vote blue no matter who. They can give up on a policy for the very first time ever.
Why would they when the dems execute the genocide they want?
Why would you, indeed.
And it begins again
