    So just accept your place in a broken system, got it. Just go support more increasingly right wing fascist policies and give up on any hope for Democracy.*

    Pure strawman.

    Pretty sure voting for a write in candidate/third party is, by definition, participating in the system.

    You just accept the system is broken and undemocratic and believe others should accept this as well and give up.

    You are more devoted to “order” than to justice; you prefer a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice; you constantly say “I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I cannot agree with your methods of direct action”; you paternalistically believe you can set the timetable on progress and constantly advise the progressive to to wait for a “more convenient season”.

    You are the “white moderate” MLK warned of, as is the vast majority of the party, though not for long, as the party increasingly seeks the support of the right to avoid allowing any policy victory for the left.

    You are increasingly the Republican party of Cheney, as demonstrated by, not only his support for the party, but by the party and Kamala herself touting the endorsement, rather than ignoring it/distancing themselves.

    Alaska has a Republican Governor along with a Republican Majority in the house and Senate, they have no restrictions on abortion.

    Does this mean the Republican party is pro-choice or that by voting Republican we can secure abortion rights? The answer is no.

    Alaska, a red state, is reportedly trying to remove their rank choice voting. This isn’t a “Dems” problem, it’s a two party problem.

    This is a counter to the Democratic party supporters you see everywhere who always get irrationally upset at third party voters, not about Republicans.

    The point is, if the Democratic party never plan to address it, then how will it ever get done through voting Dem? The same goes for all the other issues people claim we should ignore in the name of “vote blue no matter who”, including their genocide.

    Considering the vast majority who are protesting against him are doing it for reasons other than seeing Palestinians as people deserving of equal rights. Yes, for most of them.

    They’re all colonizers, they’re just arguing over the best way to colonize. The enemy of my enemy is a useful ally, not a friend.

    “we will push Democrats left by giving them what they want and not even allowing anyone to criticize them” ~ Blue MAGAs solution to the rise of fascism.

    And

    “We will push netanyahu left by giving him what he wants and not even allowing anyone to criticize him” ~ Democratic partys solution to an existing fascist Genocide.

    At least it’s a consistent ideology… of appeasement…

    Dems are still far better for the US though

    I wish they didn’t support Isreal with weapons but here we are

    I genuinely don’t understand how y’all say this with a straight face. You can’t justify genocide with any other policies. It’s literally just “atleast Mussolini made the trains run on time” fascist apologia.

    You are in the “in group” for the Democrats right now so you aren’t being harmed. That doesn’t change the fact they have a harmful ideology that pushes and normalizes fascism and genocide, and it doesn’t protect you in the long run to support/ encourage those sentiments. You just normalize them and strengthen them for the opponent to use, “first they came for…”.

    (…I was going to use the harsh border/immigration policies to make a comparison at first, but unfortunately these policies and sentiments have already been co-opted and normalized by the Democrats as well…)
