We will kill them slowly vs we will kill them faster.
For a year now instead of escalation, the democrats allow Israel to commit a genocide in Gaza, continue genocide in west bank, attack Lebanon, attack Iran, attack Yemen.
All three ask for is “ stop genocide in Gaza “
He's as delusional as the rest of BlueMAGA. He's being the good little sheepdog he's always been.
Good on Sanders. It feels like he always has to be dragged kicking and screaming to support the party (and likely would be even more influential if he just played the game) but he is a voice that people might listen to.
That said: It is important to remember that the majority of the "No, I want support genocide LA LA LA LA LA LA LA" crowd either listen to or are tankies that are, at best, useful idiots for putin et al. They don't care about Palestine and they sure as hell don't care about anyone else that trump et al will genocide if elected.
They don't care about Palestine.
Way to gaslight people because they're disagree with you.
But, to elaborate, the Palestinians have a long history of mostly beiing a political tool. In the past, when there were chances to evacuate them as refugees, the majority of neighboring countries actively refused (ironically citing fears of Hamas led insurrections). But when it is a way to bleed resources out of israel they suddenly are all humanitarians.
And considering how many prominent mouthpieces are, at best, useful idiots for the tankies? It is hard to believe that suddenly, after everyone discovered Palestine existed on October 8th, that is truly the greatest issue facing the planet (especially when other active genocides are still ignored).
It is a very slim chance but there is hope that the Kamala administration will at least give israel fewer bombs or demand they be used for things that benefit US interests (like attacking iran) rather than cheering on the genocide.
If there's only a very slim hope, then might as well let the Democrats lose so they at least have to posture.

Middle Eastern countries notoriously don't represent their people, being dictatorships and all that.

Who are "they"?

Many people only learned how bad things are in Palestine because of Israel's genocide in Gaza. What's so strange about that? Also the West is not actively intervening in those other genocides, which might not be palatable to some people but it's much better than actively bankrolling one. Again, what's the problem with not wanting to bankroll a genocide and increase the chance of being caught in another war in the Middle East? Also, have you not considered that many people (a quarter of either all Americans or Democrats, not sure which but you can find the numbers online) opposed Israel's Apartheid regime but couldn't speak out for fear of being labeled antisemites? Also why are you conveniently ignoring the existence of Arab and Muslim Americans who are personally invested in seeing Israel's genocide stop?
I don't think you know what the word "gaslight(ing)" means
"No you don't care about Palestine tankie/useful idiot/right wing bot/whatever" is, in fact, gaslighting.
Sanders said he thinks Vice President Harris can be moved “on that issue” of the Israel-Hamas war.
I've always admired Sanders' optimism, even when I don't share it.
Well he better get fucking moving he's only got a couple days left.
He's sheep dogging again. He knows she can't be moved, if she could it would have moved by now.
Oh, look. We have the equivalent of Trump's RINO accusations on the socialist side.
