    Should it advance, it will further divide our Party, provide a gift to Republicans, and send a signal that will embolden Israel’s adversaries,” claimed DMFI president and CEO Brian Romick. “As we get closer to the midterms, Democrats need to be united, not continuing intra-party fights that don’t get us closer to taking back Congress.”

    80% of likely Democratic primary voters under the age of 45 believe that military assistance to Israel should be restricted.

    First of all only 80%? Let’s pump those numbers up.

    Also absolute clown show of a party, we need to unite and by unite I mean you fall in line on our pro genocide stance and vote blue no matter who. There is not intra party fighting your just telling your base to fuck off and getting upset when they react accordingly.

      “We can not have division so anyone that disagrees with me needs to shut up.”

      “As we get closer to the midterms, Democrats need to be united, not continuing intra-party fights that don’t get us closer to taking back Congress.”

      The fighting isn’t even about whether genocide is wrong. The fighting is about people who believe popular things are popular and people who got paid 3 months salary to say something else. It’s been 9 years of unopposed evidence that a unified unpopular message doesn’t do anything. It’s another layer of not being a fight - it’s just silliness.

    On Tuesday, Democratic National Committee (DNC) members at the party’s summer meetings rejected Resolution 18, which called for the recognition of a Palestinian state, a ceasefire in Gaza, an arms embargo, and a suspension of military aid to Israel.

    Instead, members backed a status quo resolution introduced by DNC Chair Ken Martin, which simply called for more aid to be allowed into Gaza and a two-state solution. Despite the support, Martin went on to withdraw the resolution.

    Lmao didn’t even want to commit to having more aid allowed in which is like absolute minimum you could ask for.

    “I know that there are some who are interested in making changes today, but as we’ve seen, there’s divide in our party on this issue,” said Martin. “This is a moment that calls for shared dialog. It calls for shared advocacy, and that’s why I’ve decided today, at this moment, listening to the testimony and listening to people in our party, to withdraw my amendment and resolution.”

    Martin says he will establish a task force “comprised of stakeholders on all sides of this” so that they can “bring solutions back to our party.”

    “Starting a dialog” “establishing a task force” , might as well just say all that can be asked of you is writing a strongly (but not too strong) worded letter.

        Their point is to look at 2 years of Holocaust that they ran interference for and, instead of reacting with the appropriate horror and fury, instead be smug to protect their blue team in the sport of political theatre. One glance at their profile shows they’ve been doing this the entire time. They’re a genocide defender.

            First of all, it’s not an assumption, I can read your posting history.

            Secondly, speaking of assumptions, I’m not even an American you myopic dipshit.

            And in all likelyhood, I’ve been actually organising and campaigning for longer than you’ve been alive or ‘voting’ your way to change. Over three decades against war, against unjust laws in my country, against fascists in the streets, shutting down American weapons factories, blocking American air force bases and intelligence gathering stations, I’ve been arrested, friends have gone to prison, I’ve worked with refugees at home who were displaced by your Democrat’s wars and been to refugee camps in places like Lebanon.

            So keep jerking yourself off while voting for your personal choice Pepsi/Coke brand of fascism, while attacking anyone who actually does things, by all means. But no one here owes you the benefit of the doubt, the time of day, or to entertain your pathetic, vacuous Reddit posturing. Certainly not me.

              Cool. Not that I believe your self promotion. If you really read my history you’d see that I never excused any leader from the decisions they made. You’ll see more people like you who jump to conclusions about my beliefs when I ask questions like I did here. I see the current US administration as extremely dangerous and all previous administrations as irrelevant. But for some reason people don’t bother attacking the problem in front of them and would rather complain about the past.
