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.

    It’s Dems or Repubs, kiddo.

    Look at me with a straight face and tell me Repubs are better for Palestine than Dems.

    Look at me with a straight face and tell me you’d rather have Repubs continue to be in control instead of Dems.

    And please don’t waste Lemmy’s storage capacity with ridiculous comments about third parties. There are no viable third parties in the United States. You have two options for the foreseeable future.

    Be a smart person.

      Awfully smug centrist thinks the problem with them repeatedly and predictably losing elections is everyone else but them. And then you throw on “kiddo” and “be a smart person”. Just loathsome.

      what makes not liking one group mean i think the other is better? you’re replying to someone who realizes they (both sides) are absolute capitalist pieces of genocide shit.

      one is outward about it. another is hidden about it.
