Slavoj Zizek calls the Democrats “capitalism with a kinder face - LGBT rights and so on and so on.”

That’s really it. They think the core economic system is working. They’re fine to greenlight social policies that don’t challenge it, especially if they think it will win them votes. And that’s all they are.

Let's not pretend they stand for the T in that acronym.

They stand for whatever gets them votes. Given the current cultural climate with the right actively controlling the media landscape and the left busy purity testing before they even consider voting, they would obviously consider taking a seat on the topic.

They stand for genocide and nothing else and do not care about votes.

Ah, you're one of those persecution fetishists. Normally y'all are about Jesus.

Then you should have no problem identifying an issue that the centrist wing of the party has fought for harder than it fought for netanyahu's campaign of genocide.

Literally anything lol wtf are you smoking?

[–] Ensign_Crab@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Name one. Be specific.

Because they were willing to break the fucking law for netanyahu.

Infrastructure act. Nobody has fought for genocide, dude. Again, what the fuck are you smoking?

[–] Ensign_Crab@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

The infrastructure act was the product of capitulation on Build Back Better.

Democrats did not compromise on their unconditional support for genocide.

Yeah you're gonna have to come up with even a little bit of evidence that Democrats wanted to do a genocide because this here is some seriously dumb shit.

They kept selling weapons long after it became clear that they would only be used for genocide. They broke the Leahy law to do so, after three years of letting procedural bullshit stand in their way for things they actually ran on. You're just wasting my time in bad faith.

Okay. So before you said Democrats care about nothing but genocide, and your evidence is that they maintained previously established diplomatic ties.

There's a lot of things that Democrats could do better, but you've somehow managed to come up with the most brain-dead take I've seen.

[–] Ensign_Crab@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

and your evidence is that they maintained previously established diplomatic ties.

My evidence is that they broke the law to sell weapons to your favorite person for your favorite activity.

There’s a lot of things that Democrats could do better

I'm sure they didn't murder enough Palestinians for your liking.

but you’ve somehow managed to come up with the most brain-dead take I’ve seen.

You say that about anyone who doesn't worship netanyahu. You're just here to support genocide.

[–] impairedimperator@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 day ago

And you accuse me of bad faith.

Enjoy your rage porn, I guess.
