Israel’s genocidal assault on Gaza since Hamas’ October 7th attack has produced the most significant antiwar campaigning since the election of Barack Obama in 2008. For the first time in nearly two decades, we have the beginnings of an antiwar movement in the United States with thousands pro-Palestinian demonstrators regularly appearing on the streets of major U.S. cities.

    And this time, the Democrats don't have a charismatic BIPOC neoliberal as their standard bearer to dissipate all the antiwar energy around their person.

    Still, maybe they can keep it at bay for a little while longer by continuing appeals to negative partisanship around Trump. But, what happens after that starts failing?

      Now I dont want to praise Obama but he seemed like lightning in a bottle to me as far as Democrat candidates go. I doubt they will get that lucky again any time soon. I mean have you seen the competition pete jokermala hillgasm

        Oh yes, I agree. Which is why they have been using negative partisanship exclusively following the failure of the Obama clones to take off in 2016. But, that can't hold back such discontent from the youth forever.

        pete may be repulsive to us but half the white grannies in the country cream their pants whenever he opens his mouth. No other democrat I know of has this effect on anyone at the moment, aside from Obama.
