    I noticed they keep calling these voters ‘Israel Critics’ and not ‘anti-genocide’, even on Reuters and the AP.

    It’s blowing my mind to see even a handful of people who actually possess a conscience looking electable. I love this quote from Brad Lander: “Our party needs to admit that Joe Biden’s ‘hug Bibi’ strategy was a catastrophic mistake. We cannot keep paying for Netanyahu’s wars with our tax dollars. Democratic voters are saying this, loud and clear.”

    Paying for Netanyahu’s wars

    That is the correct way to frame this. Remind the people being told that Donald doesn’t care about their cost of living just where the value for their taxes is going.

      Revolution only happens when the ruling class refuses reform, so there’s no situation where anyone would get to make this choice. The alternative to what Mamdani and similar democratic socialists are doing is militant labor activism (strikes and the like), not revolution. To be clear I think America (and the rest of the world) needs more militant labor activism, but that’s a different issue; nobody gets to choose revolution in any meaningful sense.
