I don’t know anyone on this side of the aisle that supports that, atleast no one i talk to.
So Biden went around congress to ship weapons to Israel against the wishes of the majority of people who voted for him in the 2020 primaries? Where are they? Why aren't they furious with him right now? Why aren't they joining the protestors?
Especially when subject to leftist criticism will they suddenly swing hard right. Progressive liberals will take all sorts of quasi-socialist positions, as long as they are arguing with a reactionary under an overarching reactionary climate.
But as we saw with Obama and Clinton, they will easily swing right when offered the most tepid social democratic criticism, let alone fully Marxist ones, if they fall for the propaganda that claims neoliberalism is "adult politics," "reasonable," "centrist." The same people who protested Bush's wars and called for UHC in 2007 were defending Libya and Honduras and attacking UHC in 2016.
Liberals, progressive or reactionary, are consummate opportunists. They have to be, by necessity. If your average worker maintained a consistent set of values and historical vision, we would all be revolutionaries by now. Turning on a dime to talk out both sides your mouth is the only way to uphold a liberal political party's line. "Respectability politics" can only work if people disrespect historical continuity and their own good moral/class sense.
The same day they tell a white supremacist that the police are racist and corrupt and that we need strong social programs, they will tell a leftist that community self policing/armed self defense and serve the people campaigns are ridiculous. To them this hypocrisy is nuance, but to anyone with clear historical vision and class consciousness it's just hypocrisy and a clear sign of how a protofascist develops
It's crazy how people come out and paint this dismal picture and then complain about voter apathy. Like, literally after they just got done telling people the things they will vote for will never, ever happen.
Let me ask you a hypothetical, given the choice between continuing to ship weapons to Israel or Biden winning the 2024 election which would you choose?
I just want to point out the latter has been a narrative for decades and "younger voters" just keep getting older with it. It's also completely hypothetical because listening to anyone younger than Boomers hasn't been tried.
I'm in my 40s, I vote reliably, I voted for Biden in 2020 to give him a chance. As long as Biden is continuing to ship weapons to Israel I won't be voting for him again.
That's fine. I don't expect Biden to do anything there. I expect him to take necessary steps to stop weapon shipments from the United States to Israel.
Out of curiosity who did you vote for in the 2020 primaries?
