Because they're complacent in genocide and would rather ignore the topic so it doesn't hurt their election chances.
In other words because they're trading Palestinian lives for votes.
So you think it's more important that they perform empty virtue signaling and lose. To a group that has stated they'll make the Palestinian deaths worse. Than to actually do what it takes to get elected. And reduce Palestinian deaths.
Not supplying weapons and money to Israel isn't empty virtue signalling.
They have zero intention of reducing Palestinian deaths if elected.
But how could they even hope to do that without being elected. You're literally saying that you would rather see them say they would cut off an ally like Israel and lose. Able to neither cut off Israel nor help the Palestinians. Than for them to be diplomatic and appeal to the largest group possible to actually win an election and possibly help the Palestinians. It seems pretty empty to me when it gives nothing of value in return. You can tell yourself that you're morally Superior to other people but Palestinians still die. What good are your morals then?
Because
They
Have
No
Intention
Of
Helping
Israel
Can I make it any more clear for you?
They have shown that they will have to be dragged into stopping enabling genocide. If they get what they want and win the election, there is zero leverage to drag them anywhere; pressure must be applied before the election for the course to be changed.
It is pure cope to say “Oh just vote and like idk maybe they’ll totally stop being cool with genocide if you’re lucky”.
Absolutely you could. You can provide any clear evidence that that's the case. There is no such clear evidence. It's a shit take of a position. I mean it's your prerogative if you want to imply that to Democrats like ilhan Omar or Bernie Sanders want to see Palestinians dead. They've clearly signaled otherwise. As have many others. You're free to go on misrepresenting the situation and behaving childishly reductive. But I'm also free to keep pointing it out.
Clear as mud unless there is a typo. No intention of helping Israel sounds fine to me.
