Maybe neither Democrats or Republicans are to blame, but instead it's the wealthy capitalists who have been using their growing money and influence to force both political parties into supporting a genocide.
Plenty of CEOs of major US companies have shown their support for Israel, but very few have even acknowledge Palestine. The rest of us are just peasants living under the lie that our votes actually could meaningfully change this.
I mean, yes, that is WHY they are doing it, but they are still CHOOSING to do it, because they are fucking scum who are part of the exact same ruling class as these CEOs you imagine twisting their arms and making them do naughty things.
random people who happen to vote for a Republican or a Democrat aren't to blame, sure
but the actual Republicans and Democrats; the representatives, the party functionaries, the people who's checks are signed by the RNC or the DNC? Those people certainly deserve some blame.
The problem is that both democrat and republican leadership seems completely controlled by the wealthy capitalists.
Yeah you’re absolutely correct.
