Did you read my comment? I acknowledged that Trump does the same things, but with malice. I also directly asked for a reason that doesn't involve him.

The DNC has already shown that they don't care how politically inconvenient supporting genocide is by turning away hundreds of thousands (if not more) voters by insisting on helping it flourish. They directly avoided letting Palestinian peace activists speak at their convention while centering people on the perpetrating side of the genocide telling people to forget history. Biden has also repeatedly humiliated himself and shown they're not moving by declaring "red lines" without punishment for violations.

How can you call them "easier to push around" when their track record doesn't show that at all?

You're asking me to defend voting for a lesser evil without acknowledging the greater evil. Do you see why I can't do that?

How can you call them "easier to push around"

Gay marriage and the civil rights act immediately come to mind, but I could gesture at a lot of positive things Democrats have done. Republicans consistently make things worse, and Democrats occasionally buckle under pressure and do good things when it becomes convenient.

I'm not saying it's easy to extract concessions from Democrats. I'm saying we shouldn't shoot ourselves in the foot by making our job harder than it needs to be just so that we can claim the moral high ground.
