(94,619 posts)...I think people who suggest we hyper focus on Israel and Gaza in the next election must not have much other that directly impacts or affects them.
Like, for instance, losing their health insurance subsidies, and consequently their ability to see a doctor. Or, financially strained by Trump and republican policy and inaction to the point of breaking, or already broken.
Or, they must not be associated with the communities of Americans who have just had their voting rights eviscerated by the administration, states, and the courts.
What I really find sad is that I've NEVER seen you, not ONCE, on ANY of the several threads where I was pouring my heart out about people who look like me being targeted by this administration's immigration goons, and the anxiety and fear that has mostly kept me housebound.
But here you expect that I would prioritize another motherfucking country as my concern in the next election to the point that I would want it to dominate the political debate, over my own needs and concerns.
You act as if you know me, but you obviously don't know me; or you just don't care what I believe, or what's important to me. You just want to tell me what I should think is important in the next election.
More than that, you want Democrats to relate to voters that Israel is more important than the struggles Americans are having in THIS country?
I think it's a ludicrous political proposition, and basically blind to the harm so many are facing in this nation; concerns and interests which need elevating to the level of a national discussion with commitments in the election to address and resolve these abuses and neglects.
Har-dee-har-har. Hilarious.
