It is interesting how split opinions are here. Young democrats are more pro Palestine, older Dems are more pro Israel (although a little harsh). Republicans think Israel is doing the right thing.

You really need to understand that there is a waaay bigger political spectrum than "Democrats" and "Republicans". Especially when it comes to foreign policy.

Random condescension on Lemmy, what else is new.

I was basing my statement on an NPR poll and those were the categories that they used.

You are dn the internet and not everyone here is from the US.

The US political system is not the center of the political world.

In fact, I think that the Democrat Republican dichotomy is one reason why people in the west are so badly informed when it comes to politics.

Take off your offended pants and reread what they wrote. If that’s condescension then you’re too sensitive for the internet and should probably log off.

I am being condescending. They were not.

Lemmy seems obsessed with needless disputes and pedantic "gotcha" moments. (Your comment exemplifies my point beautifully, by the way.) It is condensing to read my comment in the uncharitable light of arguing the US political spectrum applies abroad. But instead of trying to discern what the other person means, a lot of you would rather find a disagreement where there is none.

You're both being condescending and can happily fuck off.

Ah so you DO need to log off.

In all seriousness my comment was meant to come off as condescending to highlight the difference. If you want to be mad at the world go right ahead. You’re the one with the shitty outlook, ya fucking baby. 👶🏻

And there it is. You're just trolling, you have nothing of value to say. Try to be a little less blatant next time.

Young democrats are more pro-dont-commit-war-crimes whatever the history, older dems are disensitized by war-crimes and obsessed with anti-terrorism.

Republicans love the war machine and think that genocide/wiping out the opposing side is the only way to resolve anything.

Biden is trying to put on his best dem face while attempting to also maintain control over nuclear proliferation in the middle east. There's only 1 party when it comes to global control, and this exposed it clearly. Democratic or Republican presidents, they all answer to the Generals in the end.

Not American, but there is a shift lately that makes me feel a little hopeful. Like for the first time my parents and in-laws are starting to see how not all criticism of Israel has to be antisemitic.

Yes that does mean we're having to be more vigilant for actual antisemitism (especially online), but it's still progress of a sort.
