What did I say that’s factually incorrect?

The positions of the Democrats and Republicans are literally the same on the issue of Israel. (And others, if we’re going off their record.)

For instance, Joe Biden has been a vocal supporter of militarized police. He even mocked the Defund movement in his first SOTU speech.

The democratic party is not particularly good on Israel, but you’re deeply deeply ignorant if you can’t see how much worse the Republicans are.

On the issue of Israel they’re exactly the same. They make sure Israel gets our money and weapons no matter the extent of the horrors they unleash.

ok, so here’s the difference, democrats are sort of locked into the whole “our only ally in the m.east” bit, republicans want us to step up weapons deliveries and just send our own troops to help cleans gaza, a bit of a difference.

But have Democrats not been quitting Biden’s admin?

If they have, then that’s to their credit. Sadly, it hasn’t been enough.

I think a decent amount of people have quit. It hasn’t been enough because the pushback from Biden’s administration in ignoring them is pretty stubborn and strong. I think both parties have divided on this but I feel like a larger portion of Democrats, when compared to Republicans, are pro-Palestinian or at least were opposed enough to the bloodshed to quit their posts. The views of these two groups should not be expected to be generalizable at such a critical and decisive time.
