    “The Democratic Party has not only been complicit, but it has been an investor, a collaborator, in genocide and in the slaughter and displacement of thousands of Palestinians – not only in the last 10 months, but in the last 76 years,” the Party for Socialism and Liberation’s Claudia De la Cruz told reporters on Monday.

    “We need to sit and hold that truth as people in the belly of empire, and we must understand our historic responsibility to do something for the sake of humanity.”

    The news conference, organized by the Abandon Harris (formerly [Abandon Biden])campaign, took place as Democratic delegates and leaders come together to celebrate the nomination of Vice President Kamala Harris and her running mate, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz.

    *emphasis mine

    Oh yes. That’s quite clear.

        Did I say there was a lie?

        Is there a an “abandon Trump campaign”, though? I’m not insinuating that Biden isn’t gargling Netanyahu’s balls. I’m insinuating that Stein is a willing spoiler candidate.

          You know, Democrats should try appealing to anti-war voters instead of accusing them of having hidden agendas.

          I think Democrats forget this, but the Democrats need the votes of independent voters to win. Appeal to them. Don’t insult them.

          I remember when Hillary accused Tulsi Gabbard (who built her brand on being anti-war) of being a Russian agent. How well did that go for Hillary?

          Even if Gabbard was a Russian agent, it does not inspire anti-war voters when you say that the only anti-war candidates are foreign agents. (I’d be like “well I guess I’m voting for the Russian then”.)

            I think Democrats forget this, but the Democrats need the votes of independent voters to win.

            Of course, people in this sub don’t believe that independent voters exist. You’re either “vote blue no matter who”, or you’re a Russian agent.
