>Couldn't the Democrats change their positions so that they align with and accommodate popular positions and win elections.

Obviously not. They hate you. They want to destroy America. That's why decent, right-thinking Americans voted for Republicans and our dear leader who, because of his tireless efforts to bring casinos and resorts ^W^W^W peace to Gaza absolutely deserves not one, but two Nobel Peace Prizes!

Besides, if we're going to support genocide, we might as well go whole hog and turn our home into an authoritarian hell-hole. It makes perfect sense, right?

Yeah, not voting for those baby eating/molesting Demonrats was absolutely the right choice. In fact, Vance Boelter had the right idea, just not enough bullets.

>I don't think most of the (rather large block) of folks I know who abstained wanted a fully solved problem, they wanted the US to stop funding Israel and that is a position that the Democratic party could have taken if they had chosen to do so.

How is that working out for you now? I'll tell you how it's working out -- it's working out great! And as we're killing all those subhuman darkie ragheads in Gaza, we'll continue to terrorize the darkies here in the US with that $150 Billion budget for ICE. Boo yah! It doesn't get much better than this, does it?

Your abstention is really reaping the rewards you'd hoped for, isn't it?

Well, blaming the voter for abstention still conveniently sidesteps blame towards the Dem party for trying to platform Biden again.

And now we have you yelling at other people in your party, sewing more division, alienating even more people from your coalition. "How is that working out for you now?"

The GOP actually platformed orange man after he did the coup. That's infinitely worse than being old and hiding it.

Non-sequitur much?

My party? Which party are you talking about? Don't be shy.

Just pointing out second order consequences.

As for you, what exactly are you trying to say? It's not clear to me what you hope to contribute to the discussion other than satisfying your imagined superiority to other Americans. Or is just those with an excess of melanin?

The Democrats could simply not fund (and start) a genocide and easily win elections. Don't blame voters. I won't vote for anyone complicit with Israel, D or R. Ask yourself why it's so important to Democrats to support Israel, even when that means losing important elections. We've got big problems on our hands and it doesn't look like we'll be voting our way out of this, Israel has too much control over every aspect of our government.

Indeed. My gift to Democrats that continue to support Israel is to make sure Republicans win and destroy the country.

Genocide is cause for war and destruction of countries. And fortunately, Republicans made it convenient to destroy American society.

You see children being burnt alive by racist zealots with your tax dollars, and you CONTINUE to fund it? Yah that's a good way to end your society. The USA is no exception.
