    None of them are in the Democratic party.

    Tankie nonsense. There are plenty of good Democrats, they just aren’t the ones running the party. There is a huge tendency for activists to think that anyone who doesn’t act like an activist is insufficiently devout. We need activists, and we need politicians. Successful politicians can’t act like activists. What you demand will just lead to a permanently edgy and permanently irrelevant movement.

      Any good Democrat would have left the party or started doing deliberate sabotage on the basis of the party’s unflinching Zionism. Successful politicians can’t act like activists? Yeah that’s why they keep capitulating to billionaires and the weapons industry.

      This should be simple enough: the Democrats are an explicitly genocidal party. You know only 13 Democrats voted against the house bill to define anti-ziomism as antisemitism? Stop being a smug liberal and seriously take a look at this party. The greatest humanitarian crisis of the current day is the genocide in Gaza. It’s such a horrifying brutal catastrophe that I can’t even begin to use words to describe how much I hate the ghoulish freaks in the US state who perpetuate it.

      Fuck off with your smug accusations of being a tankie. What are Democrats then? Dronies? Hospital-bombies? What do you call a party that authorized $18 billion in money and guns to a theocratic, ethnic supremacist nation that kept 2 million people in a cage?

      Any democrat whose name isn’t Rashida Tlaib should be viewed with intense suspicion simply on the basis of their hesitancy in regards to Palestine.

      The lightning rod is not attached to the flammable portion of the house??
