Oh god no, Trump winning is basically the worst thing for pretty much the world. God no.

What I'm trying to say is that from the outside looking in (again, I'm not an American), I cannot tell what the protestors want in this action. If this is a general cry for the US to stop supporting Israel in any way, why are the protests escalating against the Dems? Like... the party that would actually be likely to give a shit in the first place? I guess you could argue that trying to protest the Republicans on anything is a lost cause since Trump is a legit monster, but this seems like an odd tactic to take? Alienate the base that is far more likely to actually work with you and what your cause is?

And let's make no bones about it, every single American citizen who cares about what is happening to Palestinians will have to vote for the Dems. There is no other option.

The Democrats are in power and are not taking action. They care about winning the next election. You threaten their ability to win the next election by pulling your support. They, caring about winning the next election, do something you want to gain your support (stopping Israel from mulching toddlers). You get what you want, so you support them. It's not complicated.
