    Palestine has been a bipartisan bad take for the US the whole time. Any single issue is a bad issue to get hung up on. “Lines in the sand” are a fragmentary psy-op to get you to ignore the big picture.

    Yes, every big deal is a big deal, but there are hundreds of big deals. Taking a stance on this one didn’t make it any better, arguably made it worse, and also let a whole lot of other big deals get bigger.

    Single-issue voting is how we got in this mess in the first place. We aren’t going to single-issue vote our way out of it.

      There’s a difference between intentionally torpedoing peace talks and outright arming and funding a genocide against a civilian population.

      Democrats have been shitty for the country for a long time, but now the mask is off and people are seeing through the virtue signaling, false promises, and outright lies. This may be a single issue, but its the straw that broke the camel’s back for a lot of people and it’s one issue in a sea of issues the Democrats are on the wrong side of.

      We didnt get into this mess by voting on single issues. We got into it by continually electing people who are using their positions for personal gain and the gain of their wealthy donors above all else. That’s the bipartisan issue. Both parties work for the same people and it isn’t us. The political fights broadcast on TV and social media are just a smoke screen to make people believe we have two opposing parties, but it turns out the real opposing parties are the American people and the wealthy.

        Single issues are exactly how those people manipulate your vote.
