Unfortunately, this is unlikely given that both the House & Senate will be run by the most Israel-first members of each chamber, & the most popular Pro-Palestine leftist electeds have already endorsed Hakeem Jeffries to take on that role.
It's hard to heighten the contradictions when you co-sign corporate zionist party leadership.
@krystalball This approach is not based in reality. It is based on desperation. It will fail and when it does it will hopefully slam the door shut on this type of politics.
@policytensor It's not that shocking if you know the history of these monarchs. They have been collaborating since day one. Public positions are nothing more than that. For example compare King Abdullah the first of Jordan's collaboration with zionists to contemporary Jordan's position on Isr
@Blwyrshtsmveoff@PEWilliams_ Correct. Which makes this approach by Stevens and Dem establishment self destructive. All the data shows that his anti Israel position HELPS him with Dem and Independent voters. His opponents are operating on delusions that they wish to be true rather than reality.
@ryangrim This doesn't sound like a promise as much as describing a potential scenario.
"We'll have conversation about what to do if we have power"
It is political malpractice that Dems haven't explicitly made that argument to this point. They obviously don't want to take that step
@calicea5411@KyleKulinski The argument has never been that they are "as bad" but that they refuse to take any meaningful action when they have the opportunity. Effectively enabling Republicans to do the awful things that they end up doing.
@KyleKulinski Man if only Joe Rogan would use his power to pass a law banning stock trades by government officials!
I get that it's annoying that he has a bias here, but it's the fault of Pelosi and other establishment Dems for not taking advantage of this no brainer of an issue with actions
@SohrabAhmari We dismantled the racist Nazi regime.
We didn't just ask them to kindly take their racial supremacists system back inside their borders.
The nation state system itself is irrelevant to Coates's position and your argument of leaving Israel proper alone.
@SohrabAhmari What you fail to acknowledge is that it is in fact the underlying racist majoritarian nature of the state within its borders that results in it carrying out apartheid and genoc*de beyond those borders.
@SohrabAhmari 'It is much more logical - indeed necessary -to object to the concentration camps and extermination camps beyond Germany proper. To do that isn't necessary to call into question the very idea of the nation-state.'
See how silly that sounds?
@JeremyKonyndyk It's not a "Netanyahu problem" Jeremy. It's an Israel problem. Using this talking point does nothing but shield a genocidal apartheid state from accountability. You should know better.
@murraymatt Why would you expect the institutions that protect these settlers to provide a fair investigation or any accountability? Does the name Shireen Abu Akleh mean anything?
