Where is the outrage? Where have all the “humans” gone? Israel slaughtered over 300 innocent civilians in Gaza last night. Most of them women and children.
None of those with #Ukraine, #Canada, #Mexico and #EU flags on their profile raising their voice condemning this outrageous crime.

The sheikh wandered around the city with a lamp
I’m tired of all the devils and the death, and seeking one human
They said it cannot be found, we have searched, As we said before
That which cannot be found I desire
Rumi
دی شیخ با چراغ همی گشت گرد شهر
کز دیو و دد ملولم و انسانم آرزوست
گفتند یافت می نشود جسته ایم ما گفت
آن که یافت می نشود آنم آرزوست

whether there’s less or more of it matters significantly less than whether it’s let inside a cracked door where it WILL metastasize, as evidenced by this genocide and a multitude of others.
No. You’re saying right now that you’d take stage 4 cancer over stage 1 because of the possibility of stage one getting to stage four?
No.
and you’re saying stage 1 is an okay lesser evil.
No, they’re saying stage 1 can be fought and overcome at a far less deleterious price. Keep in mind, all of the voices that are ardently pro-Palestine caucus with democrats. If you are running from a fire, you don’t go into the room without any windows whatsoever because you’re pissed that the other room only has small windows.
and the democrats didn’t let a single one speak during the last presidential election.
How many did the Republicans have to even ignore? Look, no one, literally no one reasonable that I’ve seen, is saying the Democratic party is the goal. It’s shit. Absolutely shit. But it has a workable path forward and members of varying degrees of alignment with not-shit. Republicans have never improved society in living memory by virtually every objective metric and provide no path to anything remotely resembling good.
i don’t think anyone’s defending the republicans here and the democratic party’s path is workable, but it’s not followed through.
The Uncommitted movement did everything correct to try that workable path. It was the morally correct position, it was the popular position, and it was the lawful position. The Democratic Party decided to throw those votes under the bus by continuing the genocide unconditionally, at the expense of an important amount of votes during the most critical campaign to date. They chose to throw the election by ignoring the demands of their own constituents in favor of their corporate donors.
The Democratic Party is supposed to be the opposition to the fascist Republican Party. Instead they used it as an excuse to ratchet further to the right. They have proven themselves to be a controlled opposition.
Jesus Christ thank you.
