    The Democrats are doing a spin where they're trying to say a Palestinian genocide is simply going to happen, but voting for Biden can maybe stop a LGBTQ genocide. It's the weirdest posture I've ever seen them adopt in my lifetime. They're so hopeless they can't even pretend they'll stop Israel or that they even care

      If your argument is "sure we abandoned that vulnerable minority and have decided were ok with them being genocide but we'd never do that to you." You really ought to actually do something that doesn't make it incredibly obvious that's a fucking lie.

      The concept of solidarity is literally co.pletely foreign to the liberal. Selling out somebody else for personal benefit is literally the best they can come up with because it's all they know.

      "Sure we're genociding Palestinians but we're willing to say the same thing shouldn't happen to Trans people" can turn into "sure we're genociding trams people but we're willing to say the same thing shouldn't happen to gay people" and then "sure we're genociding gay people but we're willing to say the same shouldn't happen to racial minorities" in like 2 elections.

      "Were fine with genocide as long as it means we win elections" is not the unifying message they thi k it is.
