Me 3 years ago, somewhat ignorant: “I’m okay with sending bombs to Israel.”
Me, today: “I’m okay with ‘sending’ bombs to Israel.”
The important difference between "send them quickly" and "send them fast"
Yeah, boy, wair for it: there're also a million less palestinians to sympathise with than there were 8 years ago. I think something is going on down there. Something very anti-semitic.

It's probably the escalation of the genocide. If Israel were to stop committing genocide and move to reconcile and take actions to prevent it in thr future I'm pretty sure most of us would be open to reevaluating our position. Plenty of us like the modern Germany after all.
A non-genocidal apartheid state is still an apartheid state.

Younger democrats...18-49....the fuck. Doing some heavy lifting with that younger phrase calling 40-50 younger 😂
1/2 of the people in politics in the USA remember eating woolly mammoth burgers, so there's that.
Just goes to show how up to date they are.
What's that bullshit about Mamdani facing criticism about not being outspoken enough against antisemitism?
Same spin on all people calling for an end of war since Netanyahu decided that being against the genocide was antisemitic.
Same shit when any individual with an even remote arabian origin needs time and again to formally condemn islamist terrorist attacks, otherwise they're instantly labeled terrorist supporters or some shit.
So be prepared to read a lot about "ambiguous position" on antisemitism because no matter what he says or does, they need to slap that label on him.

They'll go on and on about antisemitism (which often is just criticism of a nation-state, so not actually antisemitism), but then it's deafening silence when it comes to racism against black people. Systemic discrimination against people of color is still alive and well in the U.S. But when have you heard this administration talk about it.
Thank you for posting this.
The people are rousing and that at least is consoling in the midst of this ongoing genocide by the state of Israel.
Yeah, democrats while flawed, are disproportionately comprised of compassionate human beings, who can recognize the difference between self defense and murder. That's why Orange McFayg has been trying to demonize them and their 'beliefs'.
It's literally an attack on anyone who may show compassion, or inner reflection, remorse... You know human traits
McFayg?
