Progressives acknowledging the fact of genocide is a good first step, and it’s useful that Ocasio-Cortez and others have done so — “I think [unconditional aid to Israel] enabled a genocide in Gaza,” she said in Munich — but it is not in and of itself sufficient. Before anyone in the party can move on to selling a post-Biden vision of human-rights-first foreign policy, they must address what accountability for the war criminals in the Biden administration — those who aided, armed, and funded genocide — should look like.
The parties could flip again like they did after the Civil Rights Act. In that case I wouldn’t be voting for any Democrats. The only way I would vote for David Duke is if he was somehow running against someone even worse, which I guess is possible but hard to imagine.
