Before Democrats can articulate a more humane foreign policy, they need to reckon with the mortal sin of the genocide in Gaza.

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.

    If you continue to think about elections as a binary when they aren’t

    Elections in the United States of America are binary until a 3rd party becomes viable by putting in the work necessary to become viable.

    That has not happened. That is not even close to happening. As in, probably not in our lifetimes.

    So yes, elections in the United States are 100% binary. To ignore that is to ignore reality.

    Anyone seriously considering voting 3rd party in a federal election in the near future is demonstrably a fool.
