I am starting a splinter group because I found the rules of "Israel and Palestine Politics Discussion" to be somewhat restrictive.

That's a false choice. The Democrats claimed to be the party that listens so we need to keep the pressure on them.

It's not a false choice: you can vote Democratic in the general to prevent Trump and Co. from nuking Gaza into glass, and then vote in Democratic in primaries to kick out AIPAC-backed candidates.

The key, however, is voting. Vote, and vote often. Don't just show up for the generals, show up for the primaries, for the down-ballot tickets, for off-year congressional elections. For mayors and councillors and dogcatchers and schoolboard trustees.

If there's one thing you can learn from MAGA, it's that you need to vote if you want to see change; just showing up for the general means that the party machine selects candidates for you, while voting everywhere and everytime lets you, the voter, set the agenda.
