I want Palestine to be free. I want Ukraine to be free too.

Just not enough to stop carrying water for the people who have been shoveling weapons to be used in the genocide in Gaza. Bringing up Ukraine like I’m some Russian who will object is low. We should have been focusing on Ukraine and telling Netanyahu to get bent.

But I have to be realistic about the fact that one side could maybe be reasoned with,

Pelosi, the ossified center of party leadership, was calling people who wanted us to stop our support for genocide “Russians” just like every pro-genocide centrist on lemmy. There is no reasoning with the genocidal.

and the other one actively wants to nuke the entire situation as well as nuke trans people

After they ran anti-trans hate in their own ads and spat in every trans person’s eye with the recent military spending bill, you don’t get to pretend Democrats aren’t itching to abandon trans people.

Democrats think solidarity is when you vote for us and we… ask you for money.

so enjoy that moral high ground while it lasts, I guess.

It beats framing cowardice as morality.

Republicans had no business supporting genocide, let alone Democrats.
