    Ok. Then if you didn’t plan to partner with Democrats and liberals to change the situation from the inside, what do you plan to do?

      In what way are the “Democrats and liberals” changing the situation from the inside?

      Biden just approved another $680m arms package. That should be condemned, not celebrated. Acts that support this genocide should also be condemned, rather than celebrated.

        They’re not. Of course.

        They might be if we got in there, helped out, and then stirred the pot. But right now we’re outside shouting into the wind.

          What would “in” consist of?

          Democrats had both houses and the Oval Office in 2021. The Democrats were as “in” as they can reasonably expect to get unless we want to go back to 2011 when the Democrats had all that and a supermajority.

          What was stopping him from doing something now? Who forced him to send more arms to Israel?

          And how is the Democrats ability to do the right thing inhibited in any way by people complaining about a CEO supporting genocide?

          These arguments sound a lot like when my 10 year old tells me that they’ll stop watching video games and do their homework as soon as I stop nagging them. That’s nonsense. They do their homework when I take the laptop away and tell them they can’t have it back until the homework is done.
