      They are aware their party is complicite. Hence in multiple states have voted in mamdani democratic socialists in the primaries. Lo and behold theres a left wing mayor in NYC that isnt zionist. Not sure his views on indigenous rights but I imagine it isnt pro colonialist .

      Voting does work, voting is an effective tool of power. Liberals, conservatives, facists, democratic socialists all recognise that. But for some reason you have you idiots who think the only way to influence the country is by calling it colonialist and calling liberals (who make up the majority) enemies. Good luck with that strategy

        Really showing your whole ass by just admitting you’ll never go against the majority opinion

          Thats not what I said. I said many ml call liberals enemies - as in people you murder by either execution or war. And if those people are the majority, implying your going to murder them once you get power isnt a great idea
