    I don’t think there are any good guys here. However, the Democrats are more likely to be swayed away from the fight than Republicans. At the very least, less deaths will occur with Democrats in power than Republicans.

      Please answer why you believe

      1. Democrats are more likely to be swayed, and

      2. Less deaths will occur with Democrats in power than Republicans.

      Do you think the IDF uses the bipartisan weapon shipments any differently? What kind of materialist analysis are you doing, is it just vibes?

        The answer to both of these is their constituency. In order to stay in power, the parties need to move in the general direction of their voters. Democratic voters are more likely to be against the attacks on Gaza and the Palestinians. Republican voters are more likely to be in favor of bombing the hell out of “terrorists.”

        Therefore, Democrats are more likely to be swayed towards the side of let’s not support Netanyahu. By that chain, less deaths will occur (addendum: with US help) with the Democrats in power.

        Right now, Biden is doing business as usual. Same trades and sales to Israel as the US has always done. Trump though has said that he’d just bomb them to “finish the problem.”

        Progress is led by the people, not the politicians.

          And yet Harris and Co. have expressed undying support for Israel. Their interests being protected in the Middle East outweighs any level of appealing to voters, especially because of the logic of “vote Blue no matter who.” Dems can get away with anything as long as they aren’t Reps.

          Right now, Biden is doing business as usual. Same trades and sales to Israel as the US has always done. Trump though has said that he’d just bomb them to “finish the problem.”

          Biden has given Israel everything they have asked for, even privately encouraging the invasion of Lebanon. Trump is evil, yes, and the Dems are not better, at least not on the genocide issue.

          Progress is led by the people, not the politicians.

          Now you’re making sense! I agree, we need a revolution. I recommend joining PSL or FRSO!
