    You absolutely can…there are a LOT of people that are supporting Israel because that’s the de facto American position. They aren’t chronically doom scrolling…if they are its from an algorithm that was designed to validate every pre-existing belief they’ve held. If they heard you say remember Aaron Bushnell, they’ll probably assume it was another POC shot in back by a cop. Being a low information voter in an environment designed to make you so isn’t a moral failing, and if you just write those people off, you’ll never grow your coalition.

      Disagree tbh. It’s only acceptable if you don’t vote. If you’re actively voting without understanding what you’re voting for, that in itself is wrong and you’re also much more likely to vote for something immoral.

      America isn’t feminist, at all so if anything, you should be giving the side-eye to anything America is doing if you call yourself a feminist. I’m not “writing these people off,” I’m challenging them. Saying “I’m a feminist” without understanding what that means, isn’t useful to anyone except rainbow capitalism, and whoever the next neo-liberal woman ghoul to run for president is. If you are a feminist, and someone says you can’t be a feminist and support israel, you should do some introspection.
