The issue is Dem politicians are way more right leaning than voters.
Because organizations like AIPAC donate heavily against progressives in primaries, and donate to DNC leadership because primaries legally don’t have to be fair.
And if a Dem progressive does overcome that dirty money and win, these rightwing organizations will keep donating millions against them to prevent progress.
You can’t treat Dem voters and moderate Dem politicians as one group. We don’t even have the same fucking goals.
There is no shame here. No tax dollars would be spent around it if we had nothing to do with the region. We should exit it all because everything we have done has always resulted in bad results. This is definately an issue were neither party does a good job but the republicans have never, ever, shown to be better at getting to a good outcome. Therefore its not something that effects my voting. What gets me is all the hand wringers that want to vote or not vote to get an even worse outcome. Good job if we get that result. Hope you are good with were it goes.
Dems voters agree on most stuff…

Well as a dem voter I can say middle east policy does not effect my vote one iota so I think dem voters don’t agree on most stuff necessarily.
And people wonder how Hitler was elected…
I just can’t imagine a significant amount of the dem party just doesn’t care their tax dollars are funding a genocide.
Maybe they don’t care, they just still have the sense of shame not to openly admit it as candidly as you just have.

It’s refreshing to see such honesty.
I just wish it wasn’t about being cool with genocides. Don’t expect anymore replies.
