    I am happy that Democratic voters did not learn that they can support genocide and still win elections.

    If you tolerated genocide, you are the kind of voter that allows them to get away with these things. This enabled the current genocide - they expected you to fall in line znd it sounds like you did what you were told. It will also enable the rightward swings the party always wants to take in the interests of capital.

    It would be better if you focused on becoming politically informed and worked against these forces rather than giving them legitimacy.

      They quite literally do not think Palestinians are people. Nothing else could explain their blood soaked entitlement. Nor how unapologetic they are.

      But that was before the election.

      Now you know they’re literally the same as the nazis on the other side by how fucking gleeful they are to watch the bodies stack with an ignorant “I told you so”

      They’re exactly the people we said they were. Let’s see how many learn from us saying so and being right.

        Yes, liberals have been scratched and, as I predicted, they have split into two minds:

        1. Disbelief and resignation, a depression that can sometimes be broken through with reminders that they shouldn’t have supported genocide.
        2. “We’ve gotta get a whole lot more racist”

      Unlike every other time we’ve supported the ongoing Israeli genocide and still won elections.

      Good thing the anti-genocide party w-

      Oh, what’s that?

      The message sent is actually “More genocide is a winning position to the electorate”?

      Huh. Almost like this was a stupid idea from the start by privileged types who won’t suffer the consequences of their actions.

            What do you call giving weapons with the knowledge that they will be used for genocide?

            Does the recipient obviously lying “oh they’ll just be used for defense” while they continue to commit genocide with previous shipments of weapons give the democrats plausible deniability in your book?

              Knowledge != expressed purpose.

              We supply Israel for the defense of Israel, what they then choose to do with it is on them, not us.

                Why do you believe this? Don’t people have a responsibility to not give weapons to people knowing they will be used for genocide?

                Also, us? Are you part of the Biden admin?

                What a fascinating standard.

                I’m curious, does this mean that you would consider China to be absolved of responsibility for arming Pol Pot, who used their weapons to murder millions of innocent people, on the basis that they never expressly told him to do it, and “merely” kept arming him while it was clear that that was what he was doing? Because I’m pretty sure that kind of apologia would catch you a ban even in the tankiest of tankie spaces, and rightly so. But switch out China and Pol Pot for the US and Netanyahu, and dronies consider not taking that position to be “misinformation.”
