425. Do so-called progressives care about people darker than Palestinians?
Monday, 22 June, 2026
I forgot to mention Haiti, which is right here in this hemisphere and what U.S. policies have and are doing there. Many within the growing progressive podcast class is becoming almost as big of a problem of the democratic consulting class. Their insistence on treating the Israel/Palestine genocide as a voting litmus test is going to convince many of their followers to stay home. I also find it disingenuous because most of them don’t use their platform to discuss the violence and genocide facing people in places like Congo and Sudan, two places where our money is directly impacting the conflicts. We are supposed to vote people into office who represent the majority of our agenda and then force them to get with the rest of our platform. That’s what our ancestors did. Many of these podcasters are going to be fine regardless of who wins. There is so much at stake right now. MAGA wants us to stay home and divided. As I said before, you can’t fight to free Palestine when you’re fighting to keep your healthcare and put gas in your car or your own civil rights at home. Trump is intentionally making our lives so we can’t fight harder for Palestine. And when was the last time these folks were out there protesting Trump like they did against Biden? They have more smoke for Kamala (who was never POTUS), Biden who WAS POTUS, and Obama, who hasn’t been POTUS in a decade.
