I'm aware of what you said. I'm saying it's a gross weaponization of the term.
Poor phrasing then, sorry.
It's still dumb thinking though.
It's not. Actions have consequences, and the actions they chose was to constantly rearm Israel while they bombed hospitals, schools, press, EMTs, and other civilians. It's honestly dumb that you think that shouldn't have an effect on your electability.
Yes, it's dumb to think it wouldn't have an effect on your electibility.
What's dumber, to me, is blaming it all on someone who lost and has no control over the current situation, and not getting mad directly at the people perpetuating it.
Like, really, how is yelling about Kamila helping now? At best it would be so maybe a future Democrat takes the (objectively better and moral) stance and condemns Israel's genocide. But that's not helping now. We need to be pointing fingers at Republicans and Trump.
I don't think yelling on Lemmy matters regardless. People are voicing their frustration, and there is intense frustration that the democratic establishment, to this day, is more tied to the state of Israel than they are to hindering fascism.
Yeah. I feel that. This all feels pretty pointless and hopeless. We can't even get along together enough on a small Internet community that agrees with each other politically, how are we even going to make long term positive change?
