    And you are on the front line? What is your point?

    And no, Democrats give Palestinians no better chance of fighting another day, that just give liberals a license to pretend the genocide isn’t happening.

    Maybe you should take your brain out of your skull and wear it.

      This is the perfect example of the purity test OP was talking about.

      Two people who couldn’t be more clear in their comments how disgusted they are by this obvious ongoing genocide, but yet completely powerless to do anything about it.

      One person wants to use the little power they have to steer the country as far away from genocide as they can, and the other who sees that the game is rigged and wants no part in the government claiming their consent.

      What’s unfortunate is that you’re directed all you anger at each other since neither knows how to direct it at the people in power.

      Democrats give Palestinians no better chance of fighting another day, that just give liberals a license to pretend the genocide isn’t happening.

      “Democrats” are not a monolith. Criticize the democrats all you want when they deny the genocide, but when we have candidates saying the following, it does feel like you’re being overly pessimistic about what allies you actually do have available to you inside this broken party:

      “As we speak, in this moment, 1.1 million innocents in Gaza are at famine’s door,” Ocasio-Cortez said in her speech Friday. “A famine that is being intentionally precipitated through the blocking of food and global humanitarian assistance by leaders in the Israeli government.”

      If you want to know what an unfolding genocide looks like,” the New York Democrat added, “open your eyes.

          No one should be told they’re purity testing for criticizing the democrats.

          Purity testing would be saying someone can’t be an ally in criticizing the democrats with you because they’re an enemy for voting for them.

          Someone put a coin in my hand and said “heads is genocide, tails is genocide in a different way” and I really cared about not doing genocide so I asked “can I choose none” and they said “you can walk away, but then the coin will be flipped randomly”.

          If you walked away from that coin flip and left the consequences to chance, I really don’t have a lot of patience hearing you judge me for all the burden and anxiety I put on myself researching which option was worse so I could make the least worst choice.

          Walking away seems the easy choice here. You didn’t stop the genocide, you just washed your hands clean of it.

          Criticizing me for choosing, instead of being an ally, saying “that was a tough choice, but don’t give up **here’s what we can do next” is useless.

          Instead of saying we should stay home and not vote, suggest something we can do. The endless criticizing of powerless people just trying their best in a shitty situation is why you’re being accused of purity testing.

            No one should be told they’re purity testing for criticizing the democrats.

            Ok, well I am being. In fact, look at InternetCitizen2’s posts to see him stalking me across different unrelated instances to accuse me of it, among other obviously bad faith accusations.

            Purity testing would be saying someone can’t be an ally in criticizing the democrats with you because they’re an enemy for voting for them.

            Again, look at his post history. I’m comfortable saying I can’t be an ally with someone like that.

            If you walked away from that coin flip and left the consequences to chance, I really don’t have a lot of patience hearing you judge me for all the burden and anxiety I put on myself researching which option was worse so I could make the least worst choice.

            That’s fine; so long as you’re actually be honest about what you voted for, which is rare. Most of the people I’m talking to actively deny the Democrat’s evil.

            Walking away seems the easy choice here. You didn’t stop the genocide, you just washed your hands clean of it.

            Atleast I’m not denying it.

            Criticizing me for choosing, instead of being an ally, saying “that was a tough choice, but don’t give up **here’s what we can do next” is useless.

            I’ll criticize you if you deny what you chose, if you’re honest about it I’ll merely disagree with you.

            Instead of saying we should stay home and not vote, suggest something we can do.

            I’m just asking people to stop engaging in genocide denial. If lesser evil voting means rewriting history to exonerate the perpetrators of genocide, then I cannot accept it.

              Because I want material benefits to Palestine? Not going “lesser of two evils” has not helped anyone. You are being a bad ally by stifling political support Palestine could have (and needs). Also I keep asking you what you real plan, so that we know if you have anything serious to say, but you keep purity trolling.

                    Do not engage in genocide denial and apologia, do not rewrite history to exonerate people who committed genocide. If your lesser evil position requires you to do that, it is not a viable position. That’s been my sole proposition so far, and that’s been so unacceptable that you’ve spent dozens of posts across multiple coms attacking me.

          Dems are more likely to pressure Israel for a cease fire. Palestine is losing and need to survive to fight another day. Sorry kid, but your a bad ally and are causing Palestinians to be totally killed with your position.
