    Slavoj Zizek calls the Democrats “capitalism with a kinder face - LGBT rights and so on and so on.”

    That’s really it. They think the core economic system is working. They’re fine to greenlight social policies that don’t challenge it, especially if they think it will win them votes. And that’s all they are.

        They stand for whatever gets them votes. Given the current cultural climate with the right actively controlling the media landscape and the left busy purity testing before they even consider voting, they would obviously consider taking a seat on the topic.

          They stand for genocide and nothing else and do not care about votes.

              Then you should have no problem identifying an issue that the centrist wing of the party has fought for harder than it fought for netanyahu’s campaign of genocide.
