“Jill Stein is a useful idiot for Russia. After parroting Kremlin talking points and being propped up by bad actors in 2016 she’s at it again,” DNC spokesman Matt Corridoni said in a statement to The Bulwark. “Jill Stein won’t become president, but her spoiler candidacy—that both the GOP and Putin have previously shown interest in—can help decide who wins. A vote for Stein is a vote for Trump.”

    That’s on THEM. The United States is making a good faith effort to provide support for the defense of Israel. Israel is intentionally misapplying that support.

    This is not a good argument. They’re not infants, they have agency and the ability to perceive the impacts of their actions.

    Biden/Harris is pro-defense which is illegitimately being used for genocide, not at all the same as being pro-genocide.

    Eh, it certainly means they’re not proactively anti-genocide.

    But more importantly it’s not going to move someone uncomfortable with the Democratic material support for the genocide a single iota closer to accepting that there is still a better candidate both for Palestine and for all the aspects where they’re actually good, not just not as a bad.

      They do have the ability to percieve the results of their actions, and they know if they cut Israel loose, they lose the election.

        Israeli vs. Palestinian support isn’t nearly so overwhelming that there is simply one side that guarantees loss. This is an excuse by you for them, not a truth of politics.
