Comment on The Palestine experience
givesomefucks@lemmy.world 2 months agoYour mistake is thinking everyone that does a shitty thing, did it for the same reason:
That they’re a monster.
That way of thinking is easy, but the “why” is the most important part if you’re trying to prevent the next person from doing the same thing.
I’m not making excuses, I’m explaining the “why” and hoping some day we have a choice for president whose able to make rational decisions.
Fingers crossed for 2028.

I doubt the reason “why” the west is supporting a genocide is a promise the current ceo of usa made as a child, especially given that the same policy has been going on for a century. I also doubt it has much to do with them being old since again the same war policies have been applied for a century.

True. As an outsider to US politics, it painfully obvious to me that the only difference between DEM and GOP is rhetoric, but when it comes to action, they all do the same thing.
EU politics is no different. It doesn’t matter what the people want, “democratically elected leaders” will do what they want, or rather what they are told to do, regardless of what the people think.

Aside from one party trying to make being trans illegal, or trying to make pollution legal, or trying to cheat at elections, or ignoring global warming, or make abortion illegal, or crushing unions, or trying to defund Ukraine, or trying to teach creationism…
Do the Democrats have policy and action problems? Absolutely. Are they the same as the Republicans? Of course not.
