No there aren't. Biden even bypassed Congress to get them more weapons faster.

It is, of course. Matginslization is created and maintained to suit ruling class interests, to ensure you blame the marginslized rather than the capitalist.

Why do you think immigrants are being scapegoated? Did they close the factories or fire the workers?

Normalizing genocide is not a hard choice, it just confronted boilerplate Dem propaganda and any pretense of being a good person.

If you are intetested in doing real political work it will not be something as minor as a single vote for 99% Hitler vs. 98% Hitler.

"Vote for me or my friend here will kill your dog" is the alleged scenario.

Though really the person making that threat is also saying they will kill your dog.

And yet, this very article we're commenting on is about war crimes getting worse.

Except it isn't because the US has been continually supolying the arms Israel needs to carry out this genocide and these supposed "restrictions" are a fig leaf.

Again, the Biden-Harris regime provides unconditional support to Israel and its genocide. Recycled clichés about lesser evils don't apply.

That's true, there is a difference! While the genocide would receive material support either way, Democrats receive your support and silence while Republicans do not.

alleged "Genocide Joe" bullshit

For a guy who's only alleged, he sure does support a lot of genocide.

Harris became the candidate without winning a single primary, the only explicit democrstic mechanism in the party itself. She lost to Andrew Yang. She was selected behind closed doors by party insiders and donor input.

Dems have never been democratic, they are a capitalist party by and for the largest business owners and finance. They cannot be reformed. The most realistic electoral option is for them to die like the Whigs and be replaced, though even that will be highly limited by the outsized power capitalists have over the state.

I mean, they still lied plenty, they aren't on a high horse for pretending to push a ceasefire while providing unconditional support for Israel.

They made a choice to stick by their pro-Israel donors and NatSec ghouls that want clear pro-Israel messaging.

Western liberals live in a fog of thought-terminating clichés that allow them to support The Party regardless of what it does or stands for. One of those ckichés is thst if you disagree with them or don't support their politicians, you are actually a sleeper agent of the "enemy" faction.

Calling you a Trump supporter isn't the only variation on this. They do the same re: "Putler" if you criticize US policy tiwards Ukraine and various racist accusations if you are anything less than a sinophobe.

In fact there are already BlueAnon conspiracy comments in this comment section trying to call pro-Palestinian protesters a Russian op. Normally you'd see this kind of logic on your weird Uncke's facebook page but through liberalism alk things are possible.

Howard Zinn would not support the genocide of Palestinians nor voting for genociders, nor is withholding a vote neutrality. Zinn was forcefully against the War on Vietnam before it was acceptable in liberal academic circkes and drew a hard line on it.

Have you read his books?

Feeling very good about my decision, yes.

Yes, thank you for teaching the lesson that you should not support genocide.

Now we get to see who has learned from this snd who is going to double down despite losing.

Why do Democrats have to field the perfect candidate

You mean a genocide supporter?

But Harris had to be perfect.

Your idea of perfect is to not be a genocide supporter?

Harris had the exact same line on Israel as Biden and is literally part of the Biden-Harris administration.

"A land without a people for a people without a land" is an old Zionist settler colonial propaganda piece that is supported by Zionist liberals as well. This coincides with Israeli "culture", which is a weird mix of vaguely European, vaguely Jewish-ish, and the appropriation of Levantine culture. For example, going around calling hummus and pita "Israeli foods".

Given the stark difference in how Dems resoonded to the plight of Ukrainians vs. Palestinians, it's clear that this is also the tacit Dem position and what upsets their voters is for it to be explicitly acknowledged.

For something like 30 years running, the real winner of the election was non-voters. When other countries have this level of boycott and the US doesn't like them, they get called "regimes" in need of "democraticization".
