All they have to do is commit to not selling weapons and they can wash their hands clean of Israel.

Centrists support Netanyahu's genocide because Netanyahu supports centrist challengers to progressive incumbents.

I can imagine people not voting because of the arms to Israel. I cannot imagine people not voting Democrat if the arms stop. Centrists are apathic on foreign policy.

I can imagine a few people on lemmy going full trumper if Democrats ever stop supplying Netanyahu's genocide.

People who don’t vote are handing their rights away. Not voting is the dumbest form of protest. Cutting your own nose off.

It's easier for them to mobilize existing Democrats than to chase leftists who probably won't vote anyway.

And yet they're chasing Republicans harder than democrats

How so? Which policies?

Most Democrats are Zionist.
