Supporters of the “uncommitted” protest-vote movement sparked by dissatisfaction with President Joe Biden’s handling of the Israel-Hamas war could play a large role in the Democratic National Convention, with raucous protests expected outside and potentially inside the Chicago arena.

      Sure. 100% of criticism of genocide is Trump support.

      There is no other possible explanation, as genocide is the only good in this world and no one would ever have any reason to actually oppose it in good faith.

        Look - yeah, i made a snark-ass comment.

        Fuck the dems handling of this. Biden stance on this whole situation has been shameful and heartbreaking… Trump and any other Republican presidential pick would have hastened this tragedy 10 fold. This is the definition of cutting off your nose to spite your face.

        Protest all you want - but when it comes down to it - IN THE USA - you have to vote blue to get ANY sort of centrist or SLIGHTLY left leaning anything. Even if you have two shit choices, its up to you to find what good you can make of the 2 choices you have.

        Fundamental change is not coming to the american 2 party system within 3 months of the election.

        Im dug in on this so continuing to talk about it right now will do no good for either of us. You do what you will with your vote. its a free country - for now.

          I’m already voting for Harris.

          I hope she puts some daylight between her position and Bidenyahu’s. I’m just exhausted with the whole “everyone who is upset about genocide wants Trump” crap that the pro-genocide wing of the Democratic Party keeps pulling. Also, there shouldn’t be a pro-genocide wing of either fucking party, but this is the howling maelstrom of fresh misery we inhabit, so…

            I’m not denying pro genocide in both parties - I think it’s disgusting. I just know that Dems are the lesser evil.

            Hard agree with you.

              So do I. I resent them for taking advantage of the situation. I miss being able to vote without needing a long shower afterwards.

        So sacrifice Gaza to the whims of right wing Israel with unlimited firepower from Republicans? We don’t have a political system where various parties can have healthy competition. We should but we don’t.

    See there’s this thing called a “Red Line” or a “Line in the Sand”

    That’s a Line that people with convictions won’t cross under any circumstance.

    Genocide is a big one for a lot of people not just here but around the world.
