    What is your floor for supporting genocide?

    Providing wrapons that you say can’t be used forbthe genocide even though we know they are being used for that?

    Providing funding that could be used on weapons?

    Providing intel intended to reduce civilian casualties?

    Maintaining diplomatic relations with the country?

    Just curious as ‘supporting’ can be stretched pretty far, and for me the floor would be providing weapons. Anything beyond that is just normal international relations bullshit.

      Support for genocide is not stretchy, no. Aiding a government that’s committing genocide is supporting genocide. Period.

          If both parties are fully genocidal then neither of them represent resistance to it and voting for either is approval.

          Reform is the only option. GOP has no chance of reform, Democrats have an infinitesimally narrow window left through which to achieve reform before fascism is fully rooted. They will not reform if rewarded with power.

          Those are your democratic options. Do what you think will be least ineffective, and then prepare for the overwhelming statistical liklihood that Democrats will fumble any opportunity you give them out of greed and deluded incompetence.

            Well, the good news is that only describes one of the parties that includes people who have said out loud that they support genocide and/or are writing messages supportive of killing Palestinians on the bombs used for genocide.
