    But it reminds me of people refusing to vote for Kamala Harris because her Israel policy wasn’t quite perfect

    She was actively facilitating a genocide. What’s more, nobody got to vote for Kamala Harris in the primary. Biden ran virtually uncontested, then fumbled a debate performance and got shuffled off stage left. Harris was so unpopular in the 2020 primary that she polled 5th place in her home state. People refused to vote for Kamala Harris because she wasn’t doing a good job of running for office. The Pro-Israel shit was merely the tip of the iceberg.

    And, as a corollary to the Harris mess, consider the current Gavin Newsom campaign.

    Governor Gavin Newsom used his veto pen over the weekend to ax legislation aimed at protecting providers of gender-affirming care from being extradited to face charges for doing so by another state.

    If this guy runs for President, what sane liberal supports him? He’s working hand-in-glove with Greg Abbott and Ron DeSantis to fuck over doctors in his own state. If the DNC is going to air-drop him into the Democratic Nomination in 2028, we’re going to get four more years of Trump pretty much guaranteed.

    You aren’t going to beat Fascism by lining up for Fascism-Lite.

      Honestly Gavin Newsom will probably be more than just fascism-lite.

      I don’t think Trump had a PR photo op where he was demolishing homeless tents with glee. Along with all the anti-trans shit he’s pulling, the pro-“Israel” crap and of course, being pro-bourgeoisie. And he’s going to be more competent at it than Trump. (Which Liberals looooove of course)

        then they would probably be actively supporting far-right Israeli leaders, and their intentions of dominating all of Palestine.

        Uk is literally doing that, right now. The only difference is that you support it now
