Democrats are conservatives. Just like conservatives, they are racist and support oppression but who want to be perceived like they care for human rights when never actually do anything for human rights. Case in point, what happened at the Democratic National Convention when delegates left the convention floor and were met with protesters reading the names of deceased Palestinians, and instead of acknowledging Palestinians who have lost their lives in the genocide, many delegates plugged their ears, sang, or laughed over the memorial. This is callous. This is inhumane. In their minds they are champions of rights, just not anyone but their own rights is what matters to these liberals who could not even bother to respect the deaths of innocent people at the hands of Israel.
Then there is the busses of DNC delegates that cheered over hearing rumors that pro-Palestine protesters were being roughed up by police, tear gassed, and arrested. Are some of these the same people who have participated in protests for the BLM movement and claim to uphold the 1st Amendment? These people who claim to be human rights supporters are cheering police brutality against peaceful protesters? Sounds like a conservative to me. Sounds like someone who supports the oppressive system to me.
We are not done yet. The DNC has given time to an Israeli family whose relative was taken by Hamas and is still a hostage. The DNC has refused to give Palestinian Americans any time to speak at the convention.
Democrats do not care about genocide.
Democrats do not care about human rights.
Democrats only care about one thing and that is how they are perceived.
Democrats think they have moral superiority over everyone, but their actions are not equivalent with any morality or humanity whatsoever.
Israel is forcing further displacement in Gaza and massacring Palestinians that are attempting to evacuate the area. There is little clean water in Gaza. Diseases are spreading across the strip because there are no personal hygiene items permitted and barely any medicine. Hospitals are running out of fuel. Innocent families are being targeted and children are being slaughtered. There are images of a young child without part of their skull and a toddler that was incinerated at the hands of the IDF which is armed, supplied, and funded by the US.
How can anyone not break down seeing the horrors in Gaza? How can there be no compassion for the hell that Palestinians are trying to survive in? The Democrats can say all they want that they care and fight for rights, but this is factually not what is taking place. Right now the Democrats have the most amazing opportunity to fight for humanity and show us that they do fight for rights of the oppressed.
But that is not what is happening at the DNC or any corner of the Democratic Party, in fact the opposite is what is taking place. Democrats are silencing, dismissing, ignoring, and attacking protesters who are advocating for an end to the genocide in Gaza.
Why is anyone putting faith in the Democrats to support a ceasefire in Gaza and an arms embargo? They have proven over and over who they are and people continue to fall for their lies and manipulation. To be clear, I fell for their lies in the past. It’s okay to have believed in something, that says nothing on you as a person but everything about a party that thrives on lies. I had hope for Biden and Harris but they quickly proved that they campaigned on lies like their promise to not build the border wall but have constructed a huge monstrosity that puts humans and wildlife at risk.
Don’t stop calling for a ceasefire.
Don’t be silenced for defending human rights.
