    I never defended Democrats. Nor do I think Democrats are even relevant anymore. My whole point in this thread is a bunch of people are arguing over Democrats and Republicans and not giving a shit about Palestinians, just using them as pawns to argue about American politics.

      Okay thanks for clarifying I’m in a couple threads having similar arguments and got my wires crossed.

      My comment was really directed at many of the other commenters who are defending dems and pointing the blame.

      I’m glad you’re working through the problems and it shows a commitment to truth that is lost in most political discourse so thanks for bringing something nicely and distinctly human to the discourse.

      If the point you are trying to make is that our spectacular political theatre of divisiveness and trump is actually moving the discourse away from where it should be grounded, that is the fight for the liberation of Palestinians from genocide and decades of oppression, from the actual suffering and struggles, then we agree. Not sure how I would have gotten that from your first comment, but I’m happy to accept that’s what you meant, or whatever your actual intent happened to be.
