Honestly, as much as I'd like to see the genocide stop, if Dems want to stand up to Trump, they should stand with the American people and stand against the oligarchs.
Decent wages. Healthcare. Housing. Education.
It's like being on a plane when the oxygen masks drop. Don't get out of your seat and try to help others. Put your own damn mask on.
Once the people who profit from our suffering are overthrown, it will be easier to try to overthrow the people who profit from the suffering of the world. In fact, many of them are the same people, so it's almost a side-effect.
Fascism doesn't deal in compromise; you have to reject it entirely or you accept it entirely. And guess what? Supporting fascism abroad is still fascism.
So why support Palestine? When their leadership would kill you where you stand for your ideology?
Make it make sense - lol
