Chuck Schumer is not only failing to meet the moment by not opposing the war on Iran. He has long been a hawk on Iran among Democrats and Americans who are yearning for peace.

      That would imply I would have voted for trump, since he was arguably running on not killing children in Gaza. Obviously, anyone with a semblance of intelligence could easily see he was lying. Instead, I did the opposite, even though kamala was unapologetically pro genocide.

      Being against genocide isn’t some beacon that makes me support the person no matter what they say. That’s also why I don’t support Hamas or Iran’s regime. But it fucking helps.

      Best case scenario would be to have both choices not entertain the idea, but that’s a lot to ask in America. But some good can be done. Not being critical and not pushing back only helps Israel continue their bribing and blackmailing unimpeded. It’s gross. Like, you are a blatant mouthpiece for a genocidal government.

      it didn’t go well for them.

      Of course, the party that’s against genocide is the one that will slip into genocide. Don’t look at the ones currently committing a genocide, nothing to see there. They don’t have anything in common with the Nazis, nothing at all.
