    What did I say that’s factually incorrect?

    The positions of the Democrats and Republicans are literally the same on the issue of Israel. (And others, if we’re going off their record.)

    For instance, Joe Biden has been a vocal supporter of militarized police. He even mocked the Defund movement in his first SOTU speech.

          I think a decent amount of people have quit. It hasn’t been enough because the pushback from Biden’s administration in ignoring them is pretty stubborn and strong. I think both parties have divided on this but I feel like a larger portion of Democrats, when compared to Republicans, are pro-Palestinian or at least were opposed enough to the bloodshed to quit their posts. The views of these two groups should not be expected to be generalizable at such a critical and decisive time.

            I’m looking not at the personal stand some have taken, but the effects of the party’s action in whole.

            It’s just no different from Republicans. Democrats say they oppose Israeli genocide, but they make sure the money and weapons flow into it, so to me, the words and symbolic actiosn ring hollow.

              Yeah sure but my point is again: you cannot generalize the party as a whole at this time. You can’t just call any difference in opinion within the party as a “personal stand”. It’s not personal, it’s a political statement.

                After this last primary, I certainly can.

                  I seriously think this is a bad way to go about life, generalizing in general. Makes you see things in black and white. I realize this in itself is a generalization but I think you get the point.
