    I’m expecting a bunch of them to just bitch about Israel and genocide and how the Democrats will be “just as bad” yet again.

      Even f that shit were accurate I can’t even understand why that makes it ok to throw our country to the fucking Christfascism Nazis.

      “Oh Democrats will be just as bad for iSrAeL aNd PaLeStInE”.

      Like, maybe, probably not, but they are going to be way less bad for literally everyone else. I do not understand why so many people have this stupid fucking love boner for Israel.

      “Bitch about genocide”? Christ, have some decency.

      Last June, a UN report found Israel intentionally targets children in order to extinguish the Palestinian people. Literally bombing maternity wards in order to make sure as many babies are killed as possible. Why can’t you treat the subject with at least some respect? Why do you feel the need to belittle it?

        Yes - bitching about genocide - because THAT’S ALL THEY DO. When given a choice to vote to improve the state of the world, even a little, they chose political irrelevancy.

          Are you sure? Given the context I think they’re talking about non-voters who wouldn’t vote for the dems due to Biden and Harris’ strong support for Israel.

      They’ve got an old reliable boogeyman who hasn’t come out to party for a while, so they’ll dust him off, and send his creaky bones out for a turn on the dance floor - Communism. It’s going to be all about Communism and the rise of the Red Menace in the Democrat Party.

      What BOTH parties don’t get, is that a LOT of people, especially young people, are fed up with both sides, and Socialism - a little light Communism - is sounding pretty good right now. A third of Dems already support the Democratic Socialists, which mean even more are cautiously leaning that way, too. About 50% of Democrats are listening to DemSoc candidates, in one of the most contentious elections in history.

      A LOT of people, including some on the other side, are starting to think that ANYTHING would be better than this.

        And they’re very, very wrong. That’s what got Trump elected.
