When nobody in power will lift a finger to earn your vote but they’re falling all over themselves trying to stomp out a robust protest movement, that tells you what the powerful are actually afraid…
My issue is people are so heavily throwing shit at Biden, almost NONE of them are talking about anyone else, and most of those same people go really quiet when asked to have the same energy for people here in the U.S. I understand how important this is, there is a very terrible situation happening. But like fuck, how are we supposed to help anyone when we’re seemingly one good coop away from full on facism.
The people hiding behind Gaza are effectively causing the same issue. So many of them fluff their arguments with “and Gaza!” and feel strongly that anyone who debates them are for the genocide, even if the person supports the protests and condemns the evil that is occuring. Meanwhile, these same people are also indirectly saying that Trump should become President by placing often all blame on Biden. I’m sorry. It sucks. This is the situation.
We are effectively dividing ourselves. Nearly none of us who lean Progressive and/or Left believes the situation in Gaza is good. We understand the severity. We just want those who use Gaza as a do-all for any of their arguments to, bluntly, shut up and consider the alternatives. Because let’s face it: They’ll still be screaming genocide right up to Trump stepping into a second term. If that happens I hope those same people don’t disappear because we’ll need them when we are no longer in a position as a nation to help others. We’ll be too busy probably literally fighting for ourselves and our neighbors.
Don’t downplay the situation in Gaza. We SHOULD highlight it. It isn’t the only extremely important event we need to focus on though.

Almost, like maybe, the Democratic party should have had a primary.
This is the outcome they get from the actions they’ve taken.
They care more about implementing a genocide then keeping Trump out of the white house.
