This is very obviously a GOP strategy, to divide the dems base.
The left criticising the left, what a great idea.

How dare anti-genocide protestors demand their representatives to end support for a genocide?
This is not a 'GOP strategy,' these are dedicated Democrat voters that want to see the genocide in Gaza end. That's a position that can only come from the Democratic Party.
Nonsense, they're free to protest however they like. Choosing to do so outside the DNC is very clearly intended to undermine support for the dems, which will ultimately cause more suffering in Gaza.
What are you talking about, they were in talks with the DNC about having a Palestinian-american speaker for the first three days. There were over 200 delegates there in support and communication with the Uncommitted protesters. The DNC denied the speaker on the third day, which is why they sat in front of the DNC in solidarity until the DNC allowed the speaker to be heard, which they didn't
LOL. What a strange, out-of-touch take. You're just proving that person's point.
How? The notion that anti-genocide protestors are somehow a GOP Strategy is completely untrue and is just used to discredit the protests
Time and place. At one time, the conventions were a great place to try to affect policy. Hasn't been like that since..oh... I guess around '80. A little before I became aged enough to vote. Every thing about conventions now are sound and fury, signifying nothing. Protestor efforts there are just wasted effort, or seemingly self-serving attempts to "look at me!! I don't have a lot of respect for people that care more about a religious war that isn't going anywhere, than defeating the fascists at home. I hate the DNC specifically, and most Dems in general, for multiple perceived or real slights on my sense of righteousness. But that's nothing for what I see in that other party.
That said, it just seems like obnoxiously farting on your 30 year old cousin, in a decades long game of fart payback, at a birthday dinner for your 90 year old grandma. Sure, I guess, go ahead and fart at your grandma's birthday, but I'm not going to respect you for it. Even if I would in just about any other situation. Farting on your grandma is probably just going to piss off your family.
Since a rational person wouldn't fart at the party, or try to undermine the Dems so uselessly, it must be some GOP/Russia fuckery. We know people are easily mislead, so it's not a jump to feel bad for these so-called leftists who are perfectly happy trying to undermine the country.
Over 15,000 children have been slaughtered by US weapons in less than a year, we are arming a genocide.
You can not mind a genocide if you want, I'm going to advocate for a permanent ceasefire and Palestinian emancipation
Yep. Just supporting my statement.
Yeah dude, I'm so out-of-touch for recognizing and protesting a genocide. Unlike you, comparing a violent apartheid regime to a farting competition, that's actually very normal and rational
