    Actions speak louder than words. They’re happy to say they will do things that they have no intention of actually following through on while just doing a slightly less terrible version of a republican policy.

    I wish they were better about would be dropping support of Israel but even on that they are infinitely better than GOP policy.

    Curious about what you think the difference is?

      Fun fact, the DNC have had 48 or less senators for over 13 years, but I agree that the many social, foreign affairs, and fiscal accomplishments of the DNC go vastly underreported.

          1. Vote records where GOP show up as a monolith for Israel while the DNC does not.

          2. Biden admin officials saying peace is the goal. Pete Hegseth making an official statement that “death or exodus” is the goal. Large bombs withheld by the Biden Admin were deliveres under Trump according to Trump, and tanks enterred West Bank for the first time in decades.

          3. Countless charts like this:

            Thank you for providing evidence you only care about optics and still think Biden did anything to slow or oppose the genocide.

            Also weird you are using a chart that isn’t accurate.

            https://www.aljazeera.com/features/2026/2/18/gaza-death-toll-exceeds-75000-as-independent-data-verify-loss

            The Gaza Mortality Survey (GMS), a population-representative household study published in The Lancet Global Health, estimated 75,200 “violent deaths” between October 7, 2023 and January 5, 2025. This figure represents approximately 3.4 percent of Gaza’s pre-conflict 2.2 million population and sits 34.7 percent higher than the 49,090 “violent deaths” reported by the MoH for the same period.

            The Gaza Health Ministry estimates that as of February 16, at least 72,063 people have been killed since the start of the war. Of those, 603 people have been killed since the declaration of a “ceasefire” in the Gaza Strip on October 10, 2025.

            Israel has consistently questioned the ministry’s figures, but an Israeli army official told journalists in the country in January that the army accepted that about 70,000 people had been killed in Gaza during the war.

            Or even the people in Biden administrations flat out saying it https://www.npr.org/2025/08/28/nx-s1-5515620/israel-gaza-biden-famine

              What they told was a story of strong, sometimes bitter arguments within the administration on how far the U.S. was willing to go to pressure Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to allow more aid into Gaza. U.S. officials were left frustrated by hours-long, heated exchanges with their Israeli counterparts.

              Thank you for supporting my argument? Not sure why you would link that when it directly opposes your statements.

                  Except for the countless hours of trying to force aid past Israeli resistance, and demonstrably accomplishing much more aid than under the GOP, aside from those they’re exactly the same.

                    Again showing all you care about is optics not action. Biden could have stopped it immediately but didn’t because he cares more about Israel than stopping a genocide.

        Really not helping the case of they want to things with how poorly they campaign.

        Also the DNC is just the organization to get people elected not anything in charge of policy so of course it would not have any of those.
