    I’m agreeing with this post, but I’d like to add something.

    Everything else aside, do Democrats realize that it’s tacky if not straight up offensive that every time someone suggests that maybe our sitting president shouldn’t be supporting genocide, they make it about the campaign. People are being killed, tortured, raped, starved, and more – and their biggest concern is that talking about it might hurt his fucking campaign???

    What. The actual. Fuck.

    That’s what inspired me to post that thing yesterday, though I’m not sure the point landed.

      Their entire strategy for a long time now has been “if you don’t vote for us and our half-measures, we will let someone who actively wants to hurt you take charge and we will do nothing to stop them.”

      When someone tells you who they are, believe them the first time. Holding the threat of abuse and violence over our heads it itself abusive.

        This, and also they’ll tell us we have no choice while lauding the American “democracy,” because apparently democracy is when you’re strongarmed into voting for one shitty candidate.
