Last month, maggots and other insects were reportedly released at the Watergate Hotel in Washington, DC, during a visit by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Chicago has seen nightly protests during the convention by organizations seeking an end to the Gaza war and an end to U.S. military support for Israel.
And because Palestine is the main focus of DNC protests right now, i.e. the big thing that the DNC is choosing to ignore.
Frankly, if it ends up being a Republican or non-political attack, I’m still cool with seeing the ruling class squirm even if it’s done by assholes for the wrong reasons.
But also, even if it has absolutely nothing to do with Palestine, that is far from the only reason to be irritated with the Democrats. For example:
Their continued funding and support of police
Their continued material support of capitalism and neoliberalism
Their support for putting down radical movements,
Their tendency to soften radical movements (for example, abolish the police -> defund the police)
Their quiet support for racism at home and abroad
Their use of jails and prisons
Their imperialist foreign policy (other than on Palestine)
Their enforcement of borders (which has been strengthened under the Biden administration)
Their rejection of refugees that their foreign and climate policies created
Their tolerance of LGBTQI oppression
Their attempts to destroy what little privacy we have left and destroy our precious free internet
Their antagonism towards homeless people in a country with more empty homes than homeless people, a system of property ownership that they fundamentally support
Their refusal to fix the Supreme Court, which they absolutely have the power to do
And so much more! All while pretending to be the party of progress, they are in fact the party whose sole goal is to prevent more radical change being imposed on the ruling class from below!
