The Israel-Gaza war created gaping divisions in the Democratic party and contributed to a resounding loss in a critical presidential election year in 2024. Two years later, the issue continues to dominate races across the country, as progressives try to seize on Israel’s falling popularity and a broad anti-war sentiment ahead of November’s midterms.
A recent debate among two Democrats vying for one of the most competitive US Senate seats in the country openly displayed the tension between progressive and moderate camps of the party.
“They clearly want one individual and it’s not me,” Michigan Democratic contender Abdul El-Sayed said, referring to pro-Israel groups such as the American Israel Public Affairs Committee that are spending against him. “So long as our politicians continue to be bought off by Aipac, do not be surprised when we fight wars that are in their best interest to annex Lebanon, or to do genocide in Gaza.”
It’s been wild watching Democrats embrace forever war (again) and genocide abroad and widespread poverty and homelessness at home.
And these bastards honestly think slapping a rainbow on their suit is going to convince me (or any reasonable person) to vote for them.
L-O-L
Jeffries said it best: He’s there to fight for the Democratic party. That’s it. Not you or me or the people that vote him in. His party.
“Scratch a Liberal and you’ll find a fascist”
This is that where the party starts shitting or getting off the pot. Take some stance on this issue as opposed to this trying to have cake and eat it too approach that just keeps giving the win to Republicans.
