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.

I’m looking not at the personal stand some have taken, but the effects of the party’s action in whole.

It’s just no different from Republicans. Democrats say they oppose Israeli genocide, but they make sure the money and weapons flow into it, so to me, the words and symbolic actiosn ring hollow.

Yeah sure but my point is again: you cannot generalize the party as a whole at this time. You can’t just call any difference in opinion within the party as a “personal stand”. It’s not personal, it’s a political statement.
