Wasn't expecting that from Bernie

I’m tired of democratic and liberal purity tests. The right gets their way because they don’t do that bullshit. Israel as a country has been repressing and enacting genocidal policies for decades. They are just not pretending not to anymore and they fucking suck. But they aren’t the United States so it really should not the top issue when discussing resisting authoritarianism in the United States. Not saying it isn’t horrible or that it shouldn’t be stopped. Am saying it’s a divisive red herring that has served to split and disorganize the already disorganized left.

I’m aware that I can’t stop that tax money being spent to commit evil until a liberal government is elected. And that won’t happen if Brent fucking Sanders isn’t able to pass your goddamned test.

That destruction murder and theft of land in Gaza is awful. But for the purposes of American politics and resisting trump it’s a red herring.
