    No I want you to grow up. Be more mature. How old are you? Have you seen American politics operate - first hand - for more than, what, ten years? How are you expecting this whole thing works? You’re gonna go to the local Dems office and hear a bunch of chatter about genociding the Palestinians? FFS.

    No one is for it and I have to think you’re aware that it doesn’t work like you’re implying so either you’re a troll or a het-up kid who hasn’t seen much about how large organizations work yet.

      “You must be younger than me and therefore wrong” is about the boomeriest argument.

      Yes.

      How are you expecting this whole thing works?

      Well, about like it’s shaking out right now. Democrats outdo themselves in their capacity to disgust me with their moral cowardice, and then I get called a child for being unhappy, often by people who are satisfied with Democrats’ behavior.

      No one is for it

      And yet no one seems to be trying to stop it. Biden is still selling Netanyahu weapons. Senate Democrats haven’t revisited conditioning aid, and overwhelmingly voted not to last time it was brought before them. These aren’t the actions of a party that opposes genocide.

      And Republicans are certainly for it.
