I share your frustration with the Democratic party, the Republican party, and even American politics as a whole. At least as much as I can, I don't have the same kind of lived experience as someone who's directly connected to victims of western Imperialism. I've only spent the last couple years learning about the real history of Palestine.

If you think the BDS Movement and the Uncommitted Movement are your enemies, I genuinely hope you reconsider. They are the spearhead of pro-palestinian support that has made massive gains in even just the last few months. The pressure is mounting. These kinds of non-violent protests for the liberation of people long oppressed is exactly the kind of protests MLK envisioned and practiced to create genuine change.

I first learned about Palestine from Hasan Piker, here he goes into what the Uncommitted movement in detail. I hope you give it a watch, I think it might change your mind
