No but this is exactly what I'm fucking talking about. I'm tired of some vote-blue-no-matter-who dildo jumping into a comment section or my mentions or my DMs like "um excuse me sweaty it's just the Republicans' fault." It's not tho! Democrats hold power too! They hold federal fucking power right now, just because Republicans hold the house doesn't mean Democrats are powerless! The entire Senate voted on a resolution - introduced by Chuck Schumer! - in full-throated support of Israel just this week! 97-0! When rubber meets road Democrats have proved time and again that they are not the "harm reduction" option.
These milkfed motherfuckers are condemning groups like Jewish Voice For Peace, likening them to Hamas supporters, for being ideologically consistent and protesting a genocide. People are being arrested, they're being fired from their jobs, they're being blackballed by universities and other institutions for doing the right thing and supporting Palestinians in defiance of "the West."
So let's talk about sides. My side is actively antifascist. My side is against white supremacy. My side is against colonial oppression and border violence. If your "side" routinely gives ground to khaki-wearing shitheads bearing tiki torches and cheerfully funds genocide then we're not on the same side.
It was Dems and liberals who actively undermined the 2020 anti-police uprisings. It was Dems and liberals who did the same in 2016, and 2011. It was a Democratic president who dropped illegal cluster bombs on Serbia, after another Democratic president laid the groundwork to put Milosevic in power in Serbia in the first place. It was a Democrat administration that gutted the last remaining welfare state in the US. It is presently, as OP pointed out, a Democratic president completely hand in arm with the overt fash supporting apartheid, occupation and genocide in Palestine!
There are no Republicans in Seattle government. It is not Republicans who keep sending the cops to point guns at my friends and neighbors. It was not Republicans that sent a known child rapist to infiltrate a fucking anarchist coffee shop. It is not Republicans who continue to kill people sleeping outside in encampment sweeps.
Scratch a liberal and a fascist bleeds.
