    How am I doing that by arguing we should be putting pressure on democrats (our only seemingly pliable party in this two-party system) to actually fight fascism?

      How am I doing that

      This you?

      You’re making a pointless argument. Things can always get worse. Name anything that could be done and I’ll tell you how it could be made worse. All you’re doing is distracting from the fact that both democrats and republicans are supporting a genocide and it’s not going to stop until Palestine does not exist anymore. The end result is the fucking same and you’re here arguing over pointless technicalities as if they mean anything. Get a clue.

      How do you measure this “speed up”? What you consider a speed up could’ve simply been the progression of the campaign which would’ve occurred under democrats as well. Either way the end result is the complete annihilation of the Palestinian people. Do you think starving them all to death is better than bombing them all to death just because it’s slower?

        Yes, that is me. What’s wrong with anything I’ve said? I’m pointing out the reality that democrats have been full-throatedly supporting the genocide. If you think we can’t do any better than that, then how do you think the genocide ends?

          That’s literally you saying you see no difference between [bad thing] and [any amount of time not spent doing bad thing because it will resume].

          Like, this isn’t complex. I’d ask how you aren’t getting it, but I already know that you completely lack intellectual honesty. Not even two fucking comments and you’ve already pretended to forget the question you asked for evidence for.
