That's nowhere near what I said and you know it.
Strawmen and baselessly accusing anti-authoritarian pacifists of being tankies won't convince anyone that waiting 164 days to call for an end to a genocide is in any way acceptable.
Most politicians will play it safe and stick with the most popular opinion for their voter base, or just stay silent.
Sanders, AOC and the protesters helped to turn the tide, which is the reason some politicians speak out now. Those new voices will continue to change public opinion, force others to speak out and apply more pressure.
You rather want this not to happen?
I thought, getting people and politicians to agree that Israel needs to be stopped was the goal?
And why would it be "too late" while Palestinians are still dying?
This account does this all the time. Part of a legion trying to do anything and everything to convince Americans that voting is against their better interests bc "muh boff sides." As if the choice wasnt between Status Quo Joe and a hostile foreign agent. Theyve a vested interest in using the Gaza crisis as a cudgel to beat any hope anyone may have into oblivion.
