      No. We cared. It’s just really hard to get anyone to look at the issue when the standard media line was, lol brown people terrorists.

      Progressives who pay attention to international politics have been yelling from the rooftops about Israel’s Apartheid tactics for at least 2 decades.

      and the fact that it’s an election year

      It’s the only time moderate Democrats actually have to listen to progressives, leftists and anyone who isn’t a moderate. The discussions dying down after the elections isn’t by our choice, it’s just that the moderates stop engaging once they have what they need from us.
