I’m looking not at the personal stand some have taken, but the effects of the party’s action in whole.
It’s just no different from Republicans. Democrats say they oppose Israeli genocide, but they make sure the money and weapons flow into it, so to me, the words and symbolic actiosn ring hollow.
Yeah sure but my point is again: you cannot generalize the party as a whole at this time. You can’t just call any difference in opinion within the party as a “personal stand”. It’s not personal, it’s a political statement.
I seriously think this is a bad way to go about life, generalizing in general. Makes you see things in black and white. I realize this in itself is a generalization but I think you get the point.
In some ways, yes, but look at this objectively. The people who vote Democrat could have voted for Marianne Williamson, a person is actively against genocide, and also has other positive views like support for a living wage.
Those same voters have watched Joe Biden enable genocide and apartheid, and it was only an embarrassing incident on national TV that finally got them to admit that, maybe, they were wrong, not the genocide.
This generalization is well-earned. I’d feel differently if Williamson had gotten even handful of delegates, but nope.

After this last primary, I certainly can.
