You have to care about all the dem policies because they stand a chance of winning and enacting (or not!) them. For (many?) potential green voters it may only matter that they are right about one or two acute critical issues. To be blunt: the dems don’t care about stopping the genocide of Palestinians. That issue is critical enough and acute enough that many people will simply never vote for anyone on the wrong side of it, but they still want to vote. In which case either the dems come around to the moral policy or those voters choose someone else. Like it or don’t like it, I’m just explaining how I see it.

Blaming the dems for not stopping a genocide? That’s rich, the world is letting Israel commit genocide after they were attacked. Why isn’t Russia doing anything to stop the genocide? Why are we all ignoring the genocide that China is doing? There isn’t some kind of narrative you’re trying to get to is there?

Holy fuck. The US, currently led by the dems, is giving billions in material, lethal aid to the Israelis, while also providing political cover for them to continue their genocide, both in their domestic statements, as well as at the UN. I don’t vote in Russia, I don’t vote in China. I vote and pay taxes in the US.
