    Lol, well… Yes? Do you really not think public sentiment has shifted since the October attack? The hospital bombings? The refugee bombings? The Palestinian death tolls? I guess you’re free to disagree, but I think i’d trust my more recent poll over the one that happened immediately following the 10/6 attack and before the Israeli response.

    Your more recent poll is about approval of Biden’s response, not whether aid to Israel is acceptable, not enough, or too much. You do realize that right-wingers are going to disapprove of Biden’s-oh, why do I bother? You’ll read whatever you want into it.

    But I suppose I shouldn’t expect anything more from someone who thinks that purity politics and magical thinking is preferable to not seeing minorities in camps. But hey, at least you’ll keep claiming that it was actually the neoliberals’ fault for… not convincing the overwhelming majority of America to suddenly become leftists that are acceptable to your standards.

      I think policy actions that directly address the disenfranchisement of the working class is the most expedient way to prevent this. Hand waiving about “progressive policies alienating moderates” intentionally ignores how we got to the place to begin with, and all but guarantees a fascistic movement in the US.

      Moderates like you have created this problem, and blaming it on the people advocating to fix the underlying issue is yet another way you’re managing to drive people further into radicalism. But you do you bud.
