Sure, fuck hexbear...but congress literally did give a standing ovation to a mass murderer, there is no getting around that reality. That's not me, it was literally on NPR. Biden is a staunch supporter of mass murder who has blood on his hands.

Hexbear being full of tankies doesn't make it ok to support genocide.

Genocide is not a "single issue". It's every issue. No, I will not "come on" and accept it as part of the party platform. If Dems can't stop themselves supporting an active genocide they're politically and morally useless.

"Tont" sounds like a term you look up in Urban Dictionary

He's one of Pelosi's acolytes, so yeah, just another right-wing democrat.

So the fact that Uncommitted votes across multiple swing states added up to more than the margins he won by in those states in 2020 had no influence.

I think you know that's not true. His debate performance was the final straw but wouldn't have been enough on its own. The dems were calculating (wrongly, I think) that they could ignore the anti-genocide demographic as long as they made up for it with right-wing independents. The debate happened and the combination of losing both groups of voters made it impossible to ignore reality, even for the neoliberal establishment.

Biden being ousted was a referendum by voters on his support for the genocide as much as it was about age.

Meanwhile, Conservatives:

I'm thinking that, as a narcissist, Trump simply can't imagine how close to death he was, it's not real or possible to his mind that he was literally within and inch of his life.

A normal person might reevalute or gain a new perspective on their mortality and how they've spent their limited time on this earth. But if your brain is hardwired to believe you're at the center of the universe, nothing can shake that belief.

Ok, you've got to be trolling.

I'm protesting the slaughter of Palestinians and saying it's unacceptable and that I'll never vote for anyone who is pro-genocide. You're arguing for me to accept it as inevitable that democrats continue supporting genocide. And somehow you think that translates into me holding your pro-genocide position. It's nonsensical.

You're desperate for other people to accept your justification for supporting what's going on in Gaza, you can't face how sick that is. You want to believe you're a moral person, but you're literally the cowardly towns folk who sees the plumes of smoke from the camps over your village and tells everyone who mentions it to shut up because "it could be worse."

Fuck. That. Zero tolerance on genocide.

It wasn’t pro Palestine protestors that got Biden to step down.

Yes, it was. There were multiple swing states that he simply couldn't win due to the Uncommitted vote and the party knew it. Don't gaslight.

It's definitely a low point for our congress, which is saying something. Netantahu's visit and reception is the perfect illustration of just how far to the right the political frame has moved in this country.
