I know this almost certainly going to go down like a lead balloon (on Lemmygrad of all places!), but as a politician you often have to make nice with people you disagree with, or are even revolted by, especially if they are the leader of your party.

It’s like how you can’t call out your boss at work every time he does something awful because you really want to stay in the organization because you see it as a way to do valuable work.

Edit: please don’t bother to engage in further dialogue. I’ve been banned so can’t reply. Ciao!

OhHiMarx,

Did you actually think you’d somehow lessen or half-way justify FUCKING GENOCIDE because of the intricacies of realpolitik? Are you serious?!

Get increasingly and never-endingly fucked.

Sorry but “making nice” with genocide is not “pragmatism”.

djsoren19,

Unless your follow-up sentence is “and the revolution is starting now, here’s your kalashnikov,” then the point is moot. Both presidential candidates, and the broader American public, support the genocide in Israel. The only way you’re going to influence any change in that is by tearing down the entire institution.

If you aren’t willing to die in a glorious revolution though, your options are to abstain and hope you don’t give the country to a fascist who wants a genocide at home; or bite your tongue, vote for Biden, and work on grassroots organization to destroy the DNC from within.
