    And the government that helped provide those weapons is going to be demanding your vote this year because ‘it’s the most important election of our lifetime.’

      This logic will elect Republicans again and they will make the situation worse. There is no option where this stops unless we keep voting in progressives like we did in New York and New Jersey.

      If it didn’t matter AIPAC wouldn’t be pouring money into candidates, an example like think of is the 9th district of Illinois where Kat Abughazaleh discovered that one of the PACS sponsoring their opponents was a shell for AIPAC

        All I hear is ‘most important election of our lifetime.’

        Voting for the people that’s helped enable our current situation is never the solution.

        Which is why the wing of the party that capitulates to republicans keeps doing it.

          Democrats in safe seats capitulate and deserve all the criticism they get but not all Democrats want the stairs quo. Minnesota just passed a wealth tax that they have been using to find better public education and free school lunches. New York Mayor Mamdani has been doing amazing things and New Jersey just elected a progressive.

          Positive change is possible we just need more progressives.

            Which is why I referred specifically to a wing of the democratic party and not the whole thing.
