During elections are one of the few times where public pressure can push our representatives toward policies that reflect the will of their constituents. The sentiment that demanding more from your representatives is tantamount to voting for the opposition, is a reactionary position. These are anti-genocide protestors advocating for the Democratic Administration to stop supporting and arming am ongoing genocide. This is not an unreasonable position. Demanding more from your representatives is fundamental to a functional democracy.
The overt fascism of the Republican party during this election cycle has galvanized the Democratic party to be more representative, and hopefully that continues on issues like Palestine and Immigration. Those will be critical for some of the critical swing states. The Uncommitted Movement is hundreds of thousands strong in Michigan. There are similar movements in Chicago and other states, all gaining momentum. These are committed Democratic voters, applying pressure to the administration that is supposed to represent them.
Trump is currently running as if he’s the peace ticket, not because he actually is but because it’s a good way to grab votes. The Democrats need to be the genuine peace ticket, for their own benefit and the relief of Palestinians trying to survive this genocide.
