For decades, we have been in the streets in defense of the Palestinian people, and will continue to fight until the total liberation of Palestine!

    Dems are also far right, they just have different expressions of reactionary sentiment. A lot of it is wrapped up in wanting to appear progressive in comparison, but if you look at their real policies the material impacts are often far more negative, being more palatabke means by which to subjugate the masses to capital. Democrats have also been the essential supporters of every major foreign policy conflagration ostensibly done by Republicans.

    They offer a small subset of “social” issues they coopted from the left and then gave themselves credit for. But it is not consistent. They are throwing immigrants under the bus, for example. And they are the consistent opponents of liberatory social change right up until in polls well and they can coopt and pretend to have always supported it.

    But the type of support is always contradictory and often performative. They will wear “protect trans kids” pins and then support anti-homeless pogroms that disproportionately impact trans kids. They will attempt to use correct pronouns and then make it as hard as possible to get gender affirming healthcare. The only liberation they offer is to be assimilated into the capitakist nightmare and to suffer disproportionately while being told to be grateful.

      Yeah totally, they give too little, it’s always performative, to distract and to use as talking points, they never roll back republican legislation (Clinton for example) and they always have the same line with republicans for the core capitalist matters, like foreign policy, military, police budget etc. It’s a made up dilemma 100%.

      I just have to somehow approach people who disagree, I can’t be so absolute, that’s all lol
