when you’re trying to stop a genocide, you stack the deck however you can and in as many ways as you can until you can force the outcome you want.

When you're trying to stop a genocide you don't vote for parties that will continue it.

And as a result of that, Gaza is slowed down but still going, the US invaded Iran, gave Israel cover to invade Lebanon, abducted the leader of Venezuela, and may be preparing to invade Cuba. In exchange, the Democrats fought tooth and nail to not release the election autopsy report, they refused to acknowledge Gaza cost them, and they've made no move to pivot towards support. It sounds nice in a vacuum, but it sure looks like we traded a worse situation in exchange for... Basically nothing.
