Crazy. This was voted on by the delegates?

Are these the very same delegates who received their mandate as a result of the primary process in which Muslim voters overwhelmingly refused to submit even a single vote?

It's almost as if you're suggesting that refusing to participate in the democratic process means that your ideas will largely be discounted, as you bring literally nothing to the table in terms of political capital, but that just doesn't seem quite right?

Look, I'm 100% for peace in Gaza & on earth more broadly, but you can't refuse to return your RSVP and then act shocked that the host didn't save you a place at the table.

Genocide is not a special interest group issue.

This is baby brain. Are you suggesting that the difference between a democratic party that supports the genocide and one that doesn't is a LACK of pressure on them?

Sorry, ad hominem attacks are not something I want to engage on today. Me and my baby brain will enjoy existing in the real world, enjoy your limited world view.

Good. Fuck off, you genocidal piece of shit. You think not engaging with my interrogation of your position makes it go away to an outside reader instead of making it the last word?

Baby brain.
