Comment on Seriously, what the f*** is keeping Donald Trump in this presidential race?
Cataath@lemmy.world 2 weeks agoFor your argument that Democrats are the same as Republicans because of Gaza to have any weight you’d have to establish that 1) the Democrats are the “genocide” party and the Republicans are not, and 2) Democrat supporters follow the party lock step on the issue of genocide. As an independent, it sucks that there is no anti-genocide party, but there is way more opposition to it on the Democratic side, both among elected officials (who are beholden to AIPAC) and voters. The “both sides” argument just doesn’t hold water.

No you don’t. Biden bypassed congress to send weapons to israel even when Republicans blocked the israel weapons. Biden even used secret loopholes for over 100 arms shipments to israel.
Furthermore Democrats are responsible and in the position for invoking Leahy Law right now. Not Republicans.
Both of them have share of the blame but the ultimate say whether israel gets the weapons currently lies with Democrats.
Nonetheless your argument is irrelevant. “they support Genocide too” is not a justification to support Genocide.
