    Democrats are kinda beholden to public opinion and it’s mercurial nature because they’re platform is that they are the entity responsible for people getting what they want…

    If public opinion sways to being against Israel, it is expected that a democratic government will follow suit.

        Lol, is that more a Republican deal? Pretty sure repubs are listening to whoever has the fattest wallet, or perhaps the Jesus book…

        I guess your opinion is that Dem legislators are likewise apathetic to the general public? I was implying otherwise, but I guess it didn’t sound narrative-y enough eh? Meh.

      There are probably less than a dozen politicians in America that actually listen to their constituents. The rest are Republicans or Neoliberal Democrats who more or less all play for the same team at the end of the day: money. The neoliberals are also still under the unfortunate impression that the fascists can be negotiated with, which will end very poorly for us all.
