    Pinning colonialism on liberals is very low effort. It shows a profound lack of understanding.

    The Democratic party cannot do anything until after the election and can only make a positive difference if they win big in Congress as well.

    I really can’t get behind trying to make liberals into a whipping boy. It really reeks of whataboutism and propaganda designed to prevent liberals and progressives from making a difference by souring people against them.

    Just as a thought experiment imagine protesting against and lobbying a Democratic President and Congress over a Republican President and Congress about the treatment of Palestinians.

    Everything else you said I can agree with though.

      I did say I’d have titled it Colonizers not Liberals.
