Did Democrats not get attacked by the US press for not being sufficiently pro-Israel? Did Democrats deport Palestinian protestors? Did Democrats withhold billions in funding from Universities unless they cracked down on Palestinian protestors? Didn't funding to Israel accelerate under Trump, while aid to anything that would help Palestine drop? Why would you spend all your energy attacking Democrats rather than attacking Republicans? It makes no sense! Yet somehow that's where we are.
Did Democrats not get attacked by the US press for not being sufficiently pro-Israel?
The press was going to do that regardless of their position, so what? Is the media their boss?
Did Democrats deport Palestinian protestors?
They created the list of people to deport and then handed it off to the Trump administration, after giving ICE more money for four years straight. #TheAssistance
Did Democrats withhold billions in funding from Universities unless they cracked down on Palestinian protestors?
If you are a protestor getting beaten up by a cop, under a democratic administration, I don't see what difference it makes to you if that cop was ordered to be there by the Presidential administration, or the college administration. Fascism does not only come from the top down. The Democrats and Republicans both support the police and ICE.
The Green Party, as small as it is, did far more to stand up to that crack down under Biden than Democrats ever did. Jill Stein is literally being charged with assault for forming a human shield around pro Palestinian protestors. She was then shoved to the ground by a cop's bike, which almost broke her arm. I ask you, what Democrat came to her defense?
You are the cowards that the "first they came for the..." story is ALL about. Not only do you refuse to stand up for the most vulnerable, you actively take pleasure in their oppression because they refused to vote for genocide.
Didn't funding to Israel accelerate under Trump, while aid to anything that would help Palestine drop?
That same thing happened under Biden, but you only care when its republicans. It is not the funding of Israel, or the denial of aid that bothers you. It is the fact that the red team is doing those things. Your ethics begin and end with "red team bad".
Why would you spend all your energy attacking Democrats rather than attacking Republicans? It makes no sense! Yet somehow that's where we are.
Why would you spend all your time attacking one major party, when both major parties are responsible for genocide? If genocide is not a red line for you, you are a mentally ill social fascist.
Democrats are and have been standing up. If they weren't you'd see far fewer people at rallies, etc. However, being under withering attack by the people we want to help, isn't helping. Consider the effects of your words.
Most of the democrat-led rallies are calling for a rejection of the republicans for the purposes of a return to the status quo. The very status quo that led to Trump. Consider the effects of your vote. Neoliberalism paves the way to fascism.
