Yes. Democrats are the problem. Totally.
In case anyone cares, I found the orc.
Nah, the problem is the fascists.
The democrats are in a tough position. If they did come out hard against the actions of the IDF then the Trump campaign would pounce on that.
Israel has positioned itself so strongly in people's minds as the-same-as-Jewish that large sections of the democratic base would be uncomfortable voting for "the anti-israel party".
(not to mention all the actual Jew-hating groups out there who would 100% take the opportunity to do horiffic hate crimes and claim they were just supporting the Dems)
Ugh, politics sucks.
Keep working on harm reduction, y'all, in any way you have energy for ❤️
