“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.
