Is anyone even saying that? I thought the whole issue was about withholding votes by votong undeclared in the upcoming primary to draw attention to the fact that Biden can't take this voting bloc for granted and should listen to their concerns. A significant group of voters using their collective leverage. Back in the day we would've called that effective democracy.

the voice of reason

There are In fact LOTS of progressives saying they won’t ever vote for Biden ever based on the current war in Palestine. It’s strange to me to give up on the every thing else in your life for the plight of the Palestinian people which is a very complex situation politically, economical, and militarily in that region. A lot of rights here in the US are on the line. Things can get infinitely worse.

aaaaaand we're back to fantasyland

It's weird you would think that if it were so complicated and nuanced that maybe there would be a variety of possible correct conclusions or solutions.

But of course when they say it's super complicated and nuanced they don't mean that there's any other acceptable answers than the ones that they arrived it, it just means that their solution might not make sense to you if you just analyze it with things like "historical context" and "ethics" but it's definitely still the ONLY correct answer, even if to you it just seems like they're enabling a genocide.
