    Until January, ask ol’ Joe for the ceasefire. The DNC is all about talk and that’s what it’s supposed to be. So many Democrats have at least given lip service to a Gaza ceasefire and other issues we care about, you very well know Trump and the Republicans have done fuck all but make it worse for Palestinians.

    Democrats’ ability to make the protestors’ demands true rest upon success at the ballot box this November, so do not squander this opportunity for change. The demand for a Palestinian American on the DNC stage won’t affect that.
