    But it also could have triggered a massive backlash against them

    Neat how you can blame the candidates in a hypothetical that involves going against netanyahu, but blame the voters in the reality where sticking with netanyahu was what happened. Then it was the fault of those evil voters who dared to criticize your perfect genocide candidate.

        but I specifically blame those who would seem intelligent and progressive and supportive of Palestinians when they vote in a way that harms progress and Palestinians.

        Or ever breathe a word about how genocide is wrong as long as a centrist democrat is supporting it.

          No, you should protest and lobby as much as you can - but not once the primaries have passed and we’re into an election - then we need to play politics and do whatever we can to help the better candidate win.

            Democrats are never the better candidate, Democrats answer to the exact same people that Republicans do.

            And you’re acting like the primaries are fair again because you get the results you want from the cheating.

              I never said they were fair. They are what they are. It’s politics and people do what ever they can to win the primaries. There’s back room deals and bribery and all sorts of shit, I’m sure. But it doesn’t matter: once it’s a choice between A or B, and A is significantly better than B, you support A, otherwise you are helping B, which is worse. It’s very simple.

                So support genocidal shit no one got to vote for, without condition or reservation, because people who only want your tacit approval of genocide order you to be quiet.

                    Slower genocide is what you consider better. Not because it’s slower, but because it’s genocide.

                    Do you like slower genocide because you can savor it more thoroughly?
