Should it advance, it will further divide our Party, provide a gift to Republicans, and send a signal that will embolden Israel’s adversaries,” claimed DMFI president and CEO Brian Romick. “As we get closer to the midterms, Democrats need to be united, not continuing intra-party fights that don’t get us closer to taking back Congress.”

80% of likely Democratic primary voters under the age of 45 believe that military assistance to Israel should be restricted.

First of all only 80%? Let's pump those numbers up.

Also absolute clown show of a party, we need to unite and by unite I mean you fall in line on our pro genocide stance and vote blue no matter who. There is not intra party fighting your just telling your base to fuck off and getting upset when they react accordingly.

"We can not have division so anyone that disagrees with me needs to shut up."

“As we get closer to the midterms, Democrats need to be united, not continuing intra-party fights that don’t get us closer to taking back Congress.”

The fighting isn't even about whether genocide is wrong. The fighting is about people who believe popular things are popular and people who got paid 3 months salary to say something else. It's been 9 years of unopposed evidence that a unified unpopular message doesn't do anything. It's another layer of not being a fight - it's just silliness.

We won’t make ending the genocide a policy plank, but if you don’t vote for us it means you’re supporting genocide.

On Tuesday, Democratic National Committee (DNC) members at the party’s summer meetings rejected Resolution 18, which called for the recognition of a Palestinian state, a ceasefire in Gaza, an arms embargo, and a suspension of military aid to Israel.

Instead, members backed a status quo resolution introduced by DNC Chair Ken Martin, which simply called for more aid to be allowed into Gaza and a two-state solution. Despite the support, Martin went on to withdraw the resolution.

Lmao didn’t even want to commit to having more aid allowed in which is like absolute minimum you could ask for.

“I know that there are some who are interested in making changes today, but as we’ve seen, there’s divide in our party on this issue,” said Martin. “This is a moment that calls for shared dialog. It calls for shared advocacy, and that’s why I’ve decided today, at this moment, listening to the testimony and listening to people in our party, to withdraw my amendment and resolution.”

Martin says he will establish a task force “comprised of stakeholders on all sides of this” so that they can “bring solutions back to our party.”

“Starting a dialog” “establishing a task force” , might as well just say all that can be asked of you is writing a strongly (but not too strong) worded letter.
