    Didn’t Eli Valley predict this exactly? Like, as soon as Trump won, Democrats would “bravely” stand up and declare that genocide is wrong.

      Warren called for arms embargoes seven months ago. Wait for someone who hasn’t been against this for months before taking the told-you-so victory lap.

    They are beginning the “face turn” for Gaza just like they did for Iraq. They fully support and do everything to paint the protesters and anyone against the wars/invasions as “extremists” or doing the bidding of another nation. But the moment that they take a large enough L, they start loudly acting like it is they who have been on the “front lines” fighting against the shit they helped spread. They will go for the cheap “pops” and use the language of leftists and the people that have been actually in the shit. Just like they did with civil rights and women’s rights by painting those brave souls as libs/centrists and remove all leftist bits out.

    I am almost convinced that the Dems actually wanted to lose badly. As they tend to get more blind voter support while playing the “underdog” role. But the moment they get control again, we only hear about how they “can’t do x because bipartisanship (or whatever fake reasons).”

        Which if she really cared about anything. She should actually know for decades that compromising to the right only helps the right (and plays well for the hard-line centrists that love speeches and photo ops but don’t want to do real work). She hasn’t realized anything, and is just prepping for pretending to have “always fought for (insert major cause).”
