    Non-fascist? What was their line on Palestine again? Tutting and selling more weapons?

    They didn’t even have policy that appealed to most. They had policy appealed to their donors and it’s really naive if you cannot see that.

        Who said it does?

        I was responding to a comment that naively implied Dems policy applied to not upsetting majority of voters, like it was purely middle of the road acceptable stuff. It is not, and we shouldn’t pretend it is.

          Agreed, Democratic leadership’s stance on Israel was/is out of step with the majority of the base. Also, that does not make them fascist, as you implied.

          I don’t know how to make this simpler. The two major parties in our country are different. Republicans are much worse than Democrats. Your life and the lives of those you care about will be worse if you vote for Republicans, third party, or don’t vote. These are indisputable facts, and it is frustrating that so many people who should understand them do not.
