There is no such implication.

Yes there lmao. Otherwise the meme would have "US GOVT" at the bottom, but by only calling out Dems its trying to imply that the only other viable party is somehow different.

And liberals/dems/the left know this. They either support Israel too or are outspoken against it, hence the protests that are ignored or demonized by the media.

Wrong, it's highlighting to liberals and dems that their party is also complicit in genocide, which they are currently firmly denying.

Why are you grouping in the Left with liberals and dems?

You are being purposefully obtuse if you think this mean isnt attempting to put Dems in a spot where Repubs arent.

On the contrary, it's putting the Dems in a spot where the Repubs are.

I agree, that is the reality, but by only calling out Dems its implying Repubs are different. To me that is the apparent purpose of this meme.

"Oh, Dems turn a blind eye to genocide in Palestine" true, but Repubs do as well. Its almost the whole of US Congress that is complicit.

You're on a Communist community, you aren't going to find fans of the GOP.

Correct, but this statement is bannable on Lemmy.world.
