Because the Dem party is the Republican party of yesterday, not of today.
In 2038+ when they are the ex Republicans and Democrats have “compromised” their way to the current Republican parties position, they’ll be there.

They’re just supporting the same right wing Republican policies they have supported all along, the Dems just represent that viewpoint now.
Because it’s one of the few issues that the Democratic party and Republican party both taut as a problem.
Do they have bombs in them?
Nobody will stop them?
And the United States
Why does it really matter that issues can be “discussed” if the issue being discussed is as atrocious as what Israel is doing to Palestine.
Israel and the US know that what they’re doing is wrong. Them and their crony countries aren’t going to change course because of this.
It doesn’t exactly prevent WW2 if they tell Hitler to stop and he doesn’t listen…unless of course they choose to let him continue his goals unimpeded rather than go to war, citing their documented disagreement as sufficient counter action…
Damn, those Russian “orc hordes armed with shovels” sure are tough!
How many users does IG have that are registered as under 18?
I’m 25 now, but I still always say I was born in the 80s out of habit…
It’s a good step, but it won’t fix things.
The Zenocratic party
We gotta stop acting like these women are helpless fools.

The moment a US made and supplied missile lands in Moscow, you might just see how.
I used to find it utterly hilarious before I switched to Lemmy, how redditorshated twitterx and twitterx users, then would praise reddit and the reddit community lmfao.
Then you’re letting sentiment drive you rather than reason.
So you wouldn’t want the genocide to end if it came at the cost of someone killing themselves? Why?
Is the entire Palestinian population who are suffering a genocide worth less than a western life to you?
But I refuse to allow that someone’s opinion should be given more weight than mine just because they mutilate or kill themselves.
His opinion holds more weight than yours because he is right and you are attacking a martyr rather than focusing on the cause he was martyrd for.
Their mental disorder doesn’t confer moral superiority, it detracts from it.
Your insistence that they must be mentally ill/disorderd doesn’t negate moral superiority, it only further reveals your apologist mindset.
My handshake brings all the boys to the yard.
You’re saying the Democrats, who are welcoming immigrants into sanctuary cities and fighting to protect the rights of legal immigration, are somehow also responsible for fear-mongering about immigrants?
I’m saying the Democrats who have accepted and now push the 2016 right wing framing on immigration and the border as a national security threat are fear mongering about immigrants yes. Her official platform literally has
Vice President Harris and Governor Walz believe in tough, smart solutions to secure the border, keep communities safe, and reform our broken immigration system. As Attorney General of California, Vice President Harris went after international drug gangs, human traffickers and cartels that smuggled guns, drugs, and human beings across the U.S.-Mexico border. As Vice President, she supported the bipartisan border [far-right] security bill, the strongest reform in decades. The legislation would have deployed more detection technology to intercept fentanyl and other drugs and added 1,500 border security agents to protect our border. After Donald Trump killed the border deal for his political gain, she and President Biden took action on their own — and now border crossings are at the lowest level in 4 years [why is this good if people crossing the border aren’t bad], their administration is seizing record amounts of fentanyl, and secured funding for the most significant increase in border agents in ten years. As President, she will bring back the bipartisan [far-right]border security bill and sign it into law. At the same time, she knows that our immigration system is broken and needs comprehensive reform that includes strong border security and an earned pathway to citizenship.
That’s an interesting take. What do you call it when Republicans…
Whataboutism. “The Republican party are evil so it’s alright that the Democratic party is evil too!”.
Edit: Also, I call them the thought leaders for the future of the Democratic party as they shift further and further right on these issues in the name of "compromise " and “reaching across the aisle”
They’re the ones doing that, they’re in charge right now and conducting a genocide in Gaza while fear mongering about immigrants.
Tell that to the immigrants the Dems keep fearmongering about.
How is this not complete “they’re bringing drugs over our border, some I assume are very fine people” rhetoric? But it’s worse, because now this is the position of the “leftist” party.
When the “leftist” party is right wing on immigration, the right has to seperate themselves somehow, so now the ratchet clicked and Trump’s calling for pogroms.
The Republican party of yesterday was the Republicans of yesterday who are now endorsing the Democrats, because the Democrats best represent their ideology, otherwise they would be endorsing someone else.
Argue it all you want, they aren’t secret leftist heroes.
