Progressives acknowledging the fact of genocide is a good first step, and it’s useful that Ocasio-Cortez and others have done so — “I think [unconditional aid to Israel] enabled a genocide in Gaza,” she said in Munich — but it is not in and of itself sufficient. Before anyone in the party can move on to selling a post-Biden vision of human-rights-first foreign policy, they must address what accountability for the war criminals in the Biden administration — those who aided, armed, and funded genocide — should look like.

    Hey, outside view from those of us in Europe… Just get on with getting the Orange Man out, please.

    You’ll get far further dealing with the Democrats once that’s happened.

    But until that point, just concentrate on getting the actual genocidal fascist gone.

      Exactly, thank you. Glad to know some actual functioning brainpower exists out there.

      The alt-left handed power to murderous scum out of spite. I will never forgive or forget that.
