    AIPAC is not on America’s side…

    Harris has spoken at their conference multiple times, and I really hope recent events have changed her mind, but we can’t stop pressuring her and the party at large to do the right thing and stop allying with genocidal religious extremists.

      You’re misunderstanding, America is not on your side.

      The military-industrial complex, which AIPAC is a manifestation of, is more American than you or me.

        Eisenhower tried to warn us, but nobody (or not enough people) listened.

      Harris has spoken at their conference multiple times

      Every American President, most of the VPs, and nearly every Leader of both the House and Senate have spoken at their conference for the last 30 years.

          Turns out we, the American public, can bring quite a bit of political pressure to bear now that we know it’s happening.

            Online it sure seems like people care… Anytime I bring this issue up in normal life, I get treated anti semetic conspiracy theorist…

            So is this American public in the room with us right now?

            I accepted the fact that genocide will continue, best I can do is document my disapproval and let people around me know what’s up.

    Yet another prime example of why we must get money out of politics to preserve democracy. End the legalized bribes.

      Not just legalized bribes. This is a foreign nation influencing American elections. There was a massive amount of outrage when Russia bought some Facebook ads. This is a whole new level of election interference by an agent of a foreign nation.

      On one hand, yes. On the other hand, it’s an expected outcome when moderate Republicans are driven from their party and seek refuge in the next closest party, the dems. The Democrat party will tack right wards a bit for the next few years just because the voters flocking to them now are by nature more conservative. If and when Maga dies or the republican party splinters, those more conservative people will leave the dems and the party will be pulled leftward again by the remaining members.

        The mythical refugee GOP moderates do not exist in any real significant numbers, but even if that wasn’t the case, they aren’t the factor driving the Democratic Party to the right. That’s a product of 50 years of neoliberalism and the DNC being owned by their donor class.

        Once you understand that, you can fit all of the other contributing factors under those two umbrellas, such as how Democratic administrations have refused to provide any real legislative solutions to the judicial branch’s removal of union’s ability to accumulate and retain real political power.

    Living in Missouri I am severely disappointed by democrats who live here and don’t actually get out and vote. Or they just blindly believe commercials without researching themselves. 😑

      I think the AIPAC brainwashing scheme worked. Plus I feel some number of conservatives switched the ballot for the primary to oust her. It was always about racism.

    Alternative title:

    Voters who actually vote at the ballot support Israel while not supporting Netanyahu and support Palestinians while not supporting the homicidal death cult known as Hamas

    ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

        It’s even more bold calling the homicidal death cult Hamas “one side”. It’s almost as if you are equating an entire people to a terrorist organization, which I very much disagree with.

        Hamas is a homicidal death cult, and they should not only be intolerated by modern society, they should probably be eradicated, as they openly desire to eradicate everything that modern society values: life, freedom, equality, equity, and the pursuit of happiness. They want all of that destroyed, and their religulous extremism to be in control. That is why they use Palestinians as literal human shields as they wage their homicidal war on modern society.

        And I weep for those human shields that Hamas has gotten killed. And I weep for the Israelis whose families were murdered on October 7th.

        But letting Hamas exist only opens up more opportunities for Hamas to kill more human shields and more innocent Israelis.
