I think for me its the fact the genocide in Palestine so blatantly evil, so obviously unjustifiable as “necessary/defensive/whatever” even by the most insane zionist depiction of what happened on 10/7 that I am genuinely surprised at the number of democrats who are able to equivocate about it, much less justify to themselves any kind of support for the israel genocide machine. Like, I knew at some level the democrats were soulless, the party elite especially, but the fact that not even the backbenchers are turned off by actively perpetrating a genocide (even after polls say that a supermajority of their base is opposed to it, which shouldn’t matter but does) is insane. Maybe I shouldn’t be surprised, but idk its just so hard to fathom being ok with any of this
