And if you pick sides between the oppressor and the oppressed, the Democratic Party chooses their perception of the oppressed.
And in this case, that's the people of Gaza, the people of Palestine.
And that's a structural problem.
It's also the case that the party wants, like with the MAGA movement, they don't want foreign entanglements.
They don't want American money spent overseas.
And the momentum in the party has been towards saying this is a big example of what they don't want.
No forever wars, no alliance with what they consider to be oppressors.
And anything that goes against that view is to be destroyed.
And then finally, to bring APEC back in, anything that shows American policy that the left doesn't like, that's fueled by big money, is something that has a lot of traction within the grassroots of the Democratic Party now.
So AIPAC is seen as a supporter of Benjamin Netanyahu.
It's seen as a supporter of an oppressor.
But it's also seen as a manifestation of a system, according to the left, where the richest people in the country set policy as opposed to the grassroots.
It is.
That is partly explained by the visceral list we'll get to in a moment.
I think the difference in the minds of the base of the party is one is considered a just enterprise and one is not.
But that war is considered just, and the Israeli effort to defend itself is considered unjust.
Zelensky is seen as the oppressed by Putin.
the Israelis are seen as the oppressor by the progressives in the United States.
Yeah, I'll answer that by stepping back one step.
I've urged people in this country and around the world who don't understand the rise of Donald Trump and are angered by it and are saddened by it to focus on the why rather than approach it as this is so horrible and just every day go to the barricades, go to the mattresses against Trump.
