Progressives acknowledging the fact of genocide is a good first step, and it’s useful that Ocasio-Cortez and others have done so — “I think [unconditional aid to Israel] enabled a genocide in Gaza,” she said in Munich — but it is not in and of itself sufficient. Before anyone in the party can move on to selling a post-Biden vision of human-rights-first foreign policy, they must address what accountability for the war criminals in the Biden administration — those who aided, armed, and funded genocide — should look like.
To me, this seems focused on a goal, that while admirable, doesn’t actually help in the current situation. We can actually continue trying to do the right thing even if Biden’s team faces no accountability.
Bingo.
It’s gonna be “fun” watching Repubs win again in 26 and 28 because liberals are too busy infighting trying to cleanse the Democrat party to 100% purity in the face of fascism.
And then we won’t have to worry about elections anymore. But hey, at least we’ll have clear consciences as we’re being gassed.
The people who didn’t vote because they were disillusioned by the democrats support for genocide are not really the demographic of people you’re arguing with online.
This isn’t about purity at all either. It’s just fact that democrats chose to support genocide knowing it would hurt their chance of success and they lost because of it. They consciously risked losing to fascists in order to support genocide. If you understand that then you’ll realize democrats are not truly opposed to fascism and that voting won’t do anything to stop its rise.
You need to cleanse the party of those who are on the side of fascism. Electing people who are lying about opposing fascism is nothing more than pointless masturbation.
Way to take a stand on continuing to support genocide, darkfuture. You’re consistent, I’ll give you that.
