    Slavoj Zizek calls the Democrats “capitalism with a kinder face - LGBT rights and so on and so on.”

    Let’s not pretend they stand for the T in that acronym.

      They stand for whatever gets them votes. Given the current cultural climate with the right actively controlling the media landscape and the left busy purity testing before they even consider voting, they would obviously consider taking a seat on the topic.

        They stand for whatever gets them votes.

        They stand for genocide and nothing else and do not care about votes.

          Ah, you’re one of those persecution fetishists. Normally y’all are about Jesus.

            Then you should have no problem identifying an issue that the centrist wing of the party has fought for harder than it fought for netanyahu’s campaign of genocide.

                  Infrastructure act. Nobody has fought for genocide, dude. Again, what the fuck are you smoking?

                    The infrastructure act was the product of capitulation on Build Back Better.

                    Democrats did not compromise on their unconditional support for genocide.
