Now, the state of Israel – not AIPAC, to be clear – is running television ads in Iowa, a key Senate battleground state that may only be in play for Democrats thanks to the U.S.-Israeli war on Iran.

In one TV ad, Israel specifically touts its willingness to wage war. “Israel confronts Iran and its network of proxies directly, addressing those dangers at their source,” the ad says, claiming that this helps “deter aggression” and “stop a wider conflict” – as if America isn’t currently at war with Iran.

“For Americans, the benefit is straightforward,” the ad claims

So given the choice you were like sure they are bad but you know what? In order to punish this party for their lack of purity I'm going to make it way worse for the Palestinians who already have it hard.

That doesn't even take into account the other things like making it worse for women and minorities in the US too.

You out here making false equivalences when the two parties you have to choose from are not even close.

They had the option to stop the genocide. They made their choice. It's their fault, not the voters' who were told to STFU about the genocide.

The party is responsible. They were the ones with power. They were in charge, not the voters.

Saying dumb shit like "if you don't vote for me you ain't black" wasn't going to win them support. Telling their supporters to stfu and vote blue no matter who got the treatment it deserves.

People have the option to not vote if they hate their options. They sent a message. The party has to decide if they're willing to listen or continue to act like overlords cuz "orange man bad" wasn't a winning strategy for them. You think they learn anything?...
