      The reasons being that it is a waste of American tax payer money on a war that doesn’t benefit the American people

      Which isn’t a wrong reason there are certainly better ones

      But this is the correct approach to reach the average Republican

      And this makes her infinitely better than any other pro war democrat

        This is also the correct approach for those liberals that are like “why should I care about Palestine?” I like to hit them with “because your tax dollars are going to blow up children instead of fixing our roads and paying for you to be healthy and have a nice environment”. It’s certainly the least empathetic path to get someone to support your side, but when it comes to stopping a genocide, we don’t have a lot of leverage which is crazy

          The only problem with this approach is that it still enables the pacifying force of fascism.

          “Fine, we will give you free healthcare and fix the roads, genocides still happening though”.

          It’s basically the same “we will do genocide, but bring out a rainbow flag occasionally and allow trans people to partake” that the Dems do now, just more concessions towards the populace.

            Oh, absolutely. It’s like the first step into cracking the thick dome libs build up around their ideology and many more steps have to be taken if you can get through to them even a little bit

        My only worry is the current crop of rising anti Israel voices that are rising on the right (notably Tucker Carlson) will parlay their correct stance on Israel into future anti semitic actions.

        I can see a movement in the future to deport American Jews to Israel, because “we supported Israel for so long you Jews need to be grateful”

      She is broken clock correct because she’s a raging antisemite who didn’t get the memo that you’re supposed to hate Jewish people but love and materially support the entity
