“We recognize that, in the next four years, our decision may cause us to have an even more difficult time. But we believe that this will give us a chance to recalibrate, and the Democrats will have to consider whether they want our votes or not.”

That’s gotta be one of the strangest reasonings I’ve heard in a while.

    They did this…it passed in the house and has been stuck in committees for ages

    As for funding genocide…yeah the Democratic party has a problem in that most voters lean towards Palestine and the party doesn’t, but its also a relatively “new” issue in the eyes of the public (most people didn’t think about Israel or Palestine before this for any amount of time), so who knows? Maybe things shift as things go on

      Looks like it was introduced by Democrats during the Trump administration and then reintroduced and silently killed during the Biden administration. In fairness, it was in fact introduced. I’ll give them credit for that.

      Wouldn’t be the first time that the party acted contrary to the will of their voters and then demanded support anyway. But genocide is the issue this time. That’s an extremely bitter pill to swallow, and it’s disturbing to discover how many in your own party love the taste.

      Democrats don’t shift left.

        It all rolls back to the same problem in the end:

        The dems don’t need to care until the Republicans stop being utter garbage, or enough of the population forces them to reconsider at once. We are. ot there yet so the best course of action is to aid the party that won’t take away your rights to vote.
