    There’s not a damn bit of difference between BlueMAGA like yourself and MAGA. The party you are supporting has directly led us to where we are right now. Fascism does not form in a vacuum, it requires the help of a complicit liberal party.

      If the Dems were in power now the entire world would be in a much better place. I’m not sure how you can possibly not see that. But they simply don’t have the seats in either house to stop the fascists (especially considering the non-dem dems). They don’t have power mostly because too many idiotic Americans fell for Trump’s crap, but also because too many leftists failed to vote against him and the magas. Of course Dems are still beholden to the billionaires, and it would be great to primary out a bunch and get younger progressives in there. But they are so much better than trump/maga and if you don’t see that, you are being willfully ignorant.

        If the dems would listen to their voters instead of netanyahu and only netanyahu, they might have won.

          Possibly. But it also could have triggered a massive backlash against them (via the Israeli bought media and the easily manipulated US electorate).

            Neat how you can blame the candidates in a hypothetical that involves going against netanyahu, but blame the voters in the reality where sticking with netanyahu was what happened. Then it was the fault of those evil voters who dared to criticize your perfect genocide candidate.

                but I specifically blame those who would seem intelligent and progressive and supportive of Palestinians when they vote in a way that harms progress and Palestinians.

                Or ever breathe a word about how genocide is wrong as long as a centrist democrat is supporting it.

                  No, you should protest and lobby as much as you can - but not once the primaries have passed and we’re into an election - then we need to play politics and do whatever we can to help the better candidate win.

                    And you’re acting like the primaries are fair again because you get the results you want from the cheating.

                    Democrats are never the better candidate, Democrats answer to the exact same people that Republicans do.
