Wow, look at all those issues democrats won't actually do anything about, they'll just let republicans destroy those things so they can scream about them to get votes and continue to do nothing about them.
Oh, and democrats support genocide. No amount of whataboutism should disguise the fact that democrats are deep throating a genocidal apartheid ethnostate led by far-right war criminals.
Thank you for your well-researched and very-nuanced view, I hope you enjoy Donald “They’ve got to finish what they started, and they’ve got to finish it fast, and we have to get on with life.” Trump's next term, 2024-20??
How do you think we got trump in the first place? The awfulness of the republican party did not begin with him and will not end with him, but the whole time democrats have insisted that we need a republican party. It's a tag team play that ends in fascism regardless. If trump is beaten, the next bogeyman will be there for democrats to point at and claim "we just need to beat this one guy and then we'll work on issues you care about, we swear" yet again.
are... you talking about the elected officials, or the people who elect them?
But they ... DO something about this issue in-between elections. They are protesting and demanding the Biden administration to change their course. That is political action. What else are they supposed to do? Anything other than playing with the political power that's left to them?
Everybody against those demanding a harder approach against Netanjahu's genocidal campaign and threatening their votes is talking about how these people have to save democracy by voting Biden regardless of what he's doing. Well, isn't that part of a democracy?
Of course it's part of a democracy. But the point everyone's making is that it's a very dumb thing to do because it's likely to reduce your democratic power in the future.
Is the president not at fault at all when he doesn't change his course? Also a majority of people seem to favor a ceasefire. Why not at least for campaign purposes actually enforce a ceasefire from Netanyahu?
That largely depends on how you ask the question. Based on this article:
Support a ceasefire? 64vs13%
Support a unilateral ceasefire (as in: what's effectively what's being asked for Biden to threaten to pull support for today)? 28vs44%
I'm sure if you as who supports 'peace in the Middle East' you'll get a large majority, but that decision isn't really on the table
