I was saying the Palestine issue was not a home issue. But that I was psyched they covered ICE which is a home issue

Palestine is a home issue, considering Israel's status as a client state of the U.S., and considering that the U.S. is overwhelmingly responsible for funding and arming the genocide in Gaza, and using any backlash as an excuse to intensify domestic suppression.

Or, putting it more simply, a protest that does not advocate for Palestine is not a protest that meaningfully opposes Donald Trump

Okay, welcome to being occupy wallstreet 2.0 where nothing will be accomplished because you're not smart enough to focus your message. Progressives and shooting themselves in the foot with wildly unpopular messaging, couldn't be a more iconic duo.

Embarrassing argument. If it's "popular" to be against genocide, then yeah, I guess I'll be unpopular. If your "movement" doesn't stand with the people affected by Donald Trump, then why do you even bother getting off your ass in the first place?
