Michigan’s attorney general is posing as an anti-Trump champion. So why is she helping Trump’s FBI to target protesters?

  1. Dems don't want to stand up to Trump. They are bought and paid for by the same oligarchs.
  2. Fuck this. What a desperate ploy. Dems standing with Palastine protestors would do fuck-all.

It would represent people in the US who don't like genocide. Naturally, dems would rather have fascism under trump.

Dems are bad if they join the protest, Dems are bad if they don't join the protest and say nice words about it, Dems are bad if they don't say anything about it at all?

I don't disagree with what you're saying, but it would be better if you could couple your statement actions Democrat politicians should take (e.g. bring up bills in support of Palestine, put a Palestinian flag up somewhere, etc.), rather than simply complain they aren't doing anything.
