      Democrats should not be supporting genocide.

      They’re absolutely right to be upset, and your dismissal of them is both disgusting and completely unsurprising.

      How does this always turn into what will Trump or Biden do next year about the Gaza genocide? Forget the election, Biden is president now, people are protesting what he is doing now, there likely wont be a Gaza by the start of the next presidential term. They’ve been pushed from the north into the southernmost region, and that region is currently being bombed.

        Neoliberalism will always rather lose to fascism than compromise with leftism. Scratch a liberal and a fascist bleeds.

      Are you sure you’re not going to vote for Trump? People like you have such a strong urge to defend genocide that I’m certain you’d fit in very well with that crowd.

      Maybe we should be doing something about the whole genocide thing if we really don’t want a fascist to take power in the US. Maybe the blame should be placed on those enabling genocide instead of the people that are protesting against it.

      The amount of propaganda absorbtion it takes to reflexively ‘but Trump’ when people are protesting genocide is enough that if you lived in Russia theres a good chance you’d be pro Putin.

      Did they threaten to vote for Trump

      Trump’s name is not mentioned once in the story, something you might have learned if you had bothered to actually read it.

      Edit: Apparently the downvoters haven’t bothered either.

      San Franciscan here. Trump also pulls protest crowds when people find out that he’s in the area to get money from the tech billionaires. That said, I don’t think he’s been here for quite a while.

      Yeah. The idea that the government listens to the citizens is completely unamerican. They should just shut up and vote blue no matter who.
