What exactly are they supposed to do?
Exactly what they did to Apartheid South Africa and Putin's Russia.
Which is what? Vote against any bills supporting them? Vote in favor of bills that are against them?
Because they're already doing that.
So what else would you have them do?
Pass legislation to boycott and sanction them. Which they're NOT doing.
The vast majority of Democrats are not even doing what little YOU'RE saying they are, instead going all in on the Zionist genocide-denying agenda of Biden and the GOP.
First of all, Democrats don't control congress. Expecting them to do the impossible is ludicrous.
Secondly, we're talking about these specific Democrats and not all Democrats. Please do not muddy the waters.
So, again, what should these specific Democrats do?
The GOP majority is so razor thin that the power of the speaker is pretty much the only difference between the current situation and them being in control. And the speaker's chair is getting awfully wobbly..
Ok, that's fair. My apologies.
Lobby their colleagues in the Senate and the White House for the aforementioned boycott and sanctions, rally their constituency behind the cause, generally do a better job of forcefully repudiating the criminal leader of a fascist apartheid regime currently committing genocide than saying lukewarm stuff like "it's not a good time right now" and "too divisive"
What makes you think they aren't doing that?
They're literally doing more than that. RTFA. Hell, read the one sentence quote from the article at the top.
So they're doing what you want and it's still not good enough.
It's all talk. When it comes to actual actions, they support Israel 100% of the time.
They did that to get funding for Ukraine and you know it.
