Imagine believing that a party can have a policy that doesn't affect you.

Like killing brown people in the Middle East?

Exactly. The whole world suffers from that. And I've seen a LOT of Democrats get absolutely destroyed by their bases for supporting it. Fetterman went from being a folk hero of work class Pennsylvanians to a genocide-mongerer. Cory Booker just pulled off a pretty amazing feat of giving a 25 hour filibuster and yet the news cycle very quickly shifted to how he voted with Republicans to continue bombing Palestine.

This meme doesn't make sense to me because I've never seen Republicans send that accusation towards Democrats. If anything, Republican criticisms tend to go the other way: that Democrats should mind their own business and that there is a moral obligation to limit the scope of government (not that they actually care about that, but they say they do).

Very few Democrats were critical of their party before the election.

Democrats are enthousiastically blaming the genocide on people who did not vote for Kamala. https://lemmy.ca/post/41857939

Imagine believing that Democrats are homogenous
