    There are many more issues beyond Gaza. The environment, healthcare, social rights, immigration. They are complicit in all of it.

    Yesterday Trump declared “War on Transgender” and his desire to eradicate transgenderism in the US. Musk threw a literal Nazi salute. They immediately put out an EO targeting trans people. Non-voters and 3p voters are complicit in this and in what is about to happen to trans people in the US.

    Or course, they don’t have the moral stain of a Trump supporter but “not a literal Nazi” shouldn’t be the baseline it is.

      So why should someone care about any of these issues, while you demand them to ignore the issue they care about?

      Why do we accept the Democrats pitting transrights against arab childrens right to life?

        Because these issues much more directly affect people in the US, and by extension, you (assuming you’re even FROM the US)

        Personally I’m a trans immigrant. In part BECAUSE of protest voters, my new priority over literally everything else is my own survival. It’s not that I don’t care about Gaza, my heart breaks for the Palestinians affected by the genocide, but I don’t have energy left to devote to that fight. That is by design as a fractured population is less able to work together.

          What you mean by that is they affect you. There are Palestinians in the United States, Jewish people who want to quash the wave of antisemitism this will trigger, and other Americans who would like to not ignite another wave of anti-Americanism is the Arab world.

          You don’t have to prioritize the anti-war movement over the issues that are closest to your own life and safety, but you don’t get to demand that they sideline the issues that are closest to their lives for you. Solidarity goes both ways.
