    The party is far from unified on that issue. There are plenty of anti-genocide voices within the Democratic party, and you should try to elect Democrats if you want any of them to be anywhere close to holding power.

      The party is far from unified on that issue.

      The previous blue administration endorsed and fueled a genocide where thousand of kids were murdered, without any repercussion. To me it looks like they are quite unified on the issue.

      How would you feel about anti-corruption voices within the republican party?

        The previous admin is not the whole party. Clearly the republicans are better on this issue 🙄

        If that were the case, why don’t any of the DSA candidates run on their own party? Oh they don’t? So you’re clearly full of shit or you don’t know anything about this topic to have an opinion

          If you would rather run with a party endorsing a genocide than with another i’m gonna guess it’s because you are actually fine with their policies. There are more parties than red or blue.

            You didn’t answer my question. Why do all the anti Israel DSA candidates run on the democratic platform? THINK MAN. THINK

              yes TheFonz let’s think, why do these politicians keep aligning themself with criminals? If i have to guess it’s because they care more about power and being popular than doing what is good. Is bernie sanders an anti israel DSA candidate? Why is he on the platform of a nazi and doesn’t even bother to spend 2 minutes to set up a mastodon account?

                You sound very young or naive about politics in general. I don’t fault you for your idealistic and innocent perspective. You’ll figure it out eventually.

            If you would rather run with a party endorsing a genocide than with another

            There are more parties than red or blue.

            I mean, I have to ask. Are you brain damaged?

            Really. Be honest when I ask this next question.

            Do you actually believe a 3rd party can win a federal election?

            Because the most popular 3rd party candidate in the last election (Jill Stein) got a half of a single percent of the total votes cast. Meaning there was absolutely, positively, categorically no path to victory for her, or any other 3rd party.

            So no, there is literally no other party than red or blue when we’re talking about control of our federal government.

            So you’ve either got to be brain damaged or so acutely unaware of American politics that you really shouldn’t be commenting on it.
