    I’m not moving any goalposts. Your entire argument assumes that the US is providing military aid to China, knowing that said aid is used to commit genocide. They aren’t.

    Your use of the term “Hamas Muslims,” however, is very telling.

      what a weak scarecrow. just because Hamas is the brotherhood doesn’t mean you can’t identify them as Muslim. that’s exactly why Israel is attacking them in the first place, right? that makes it relevant to the question that you refuse to answer.

      The US aids the Chinese genocide of Uighur Muslims by allowing their economic participation in western markets with products and services manufactured and supported by Uighur slave labor.

      how is that any different than supporting Israeli attacks on Hamas Muslims?

      but don’t worry, I’ll ask again.

      Why do Hamas Muslims matter more than Uighur Muslims, right now?

      I’ll take a guess to the answer since nobody has the nerve to admit it.

      Uighur Muslim persecution is convenient to popularist notion of high yield and cheap products. the labor they provide supports Chinese interests and provides highly scalable resources for their war machine. the same machine that directly benefits Russia and the ongoing struggle for power that Putin and Xi are attempting to destroy the world over.

      By implying Americans should reject democrats and republicans based on their inaction on the atrocities committed by Israel it only serves to support the goals set forward by the Russian and Chinese dictatorships. not to influence the 2024 election, but to sow the seeds of confusion and inspire mistrust in the America system of government.

      you said it yourself.

      Progressives aren’t asking the Dems to commit to even trying to stop the genocide. Progressives are asking Dems to stop actively facilitating and arguably participating in it.

      “progressives” don’t want anyone to participate in a system they deem not acceptable enough. – moving the goal posts

      “progressives” want Americans to pivot to any third party candidate in protest against the American government. – manufacturing chaos

      “progressives” want Americans to believe that a system they alone can’t change is corrupted and should be dismantled. – sowing the seeds of mistrust

      if you’re not a tool that’s being used to support the Russian and Chinese agenda, you’re a fool drinking the koolaid.

        My God, you are just completely insufferable. Serves me right for engaging with you.

        Hamas is not the same as Palestine. Israel is committing genocide on Palestinians. There is a difference between America allowing Chinese goods and industry in America and America directly providing military aid that Israel is using to commit genocide on Palestinians. And your conflating Palestinians and Hamas is ridiculously ignorant at best, and intentional at worst.

          so you admit that the progressive agenda is full support of the Chinese and Russian military complex.

          you flat out refuse to acknowledge the Uighur genocides because it doesn’t fit your narrative.

            I admit I was a fool for trying to communicate with someone so willing to put words in other’s mouths. I should know better.

            Tell you what, you let me know when the US ships weapons to China that help them commit the genocide, gives China gobs of “aid money,” and repeatedly provides cover for China at the UN. Because until then, the US won’t be treating China the way it’s treating Israel. Yes, both are bad. One shows far more complicity than the other.
