    This may blow your mind but it is possible to be concerned about more than one thing at a time.

    The genocide is abhorrent and unfortunately this country is complicity. Any candidate with a chance to win wasn’t going to stop it.

    However, now we get to have even more suffering. Now we’ll probably get 2 genocides for the price of one.

    Allow me to complete your quote using the choices you made “First they came for the Palestinians, so I said something. Next they came for the immigrants and I did nothing because I wasn’t able to consider any issue other than the Palestinians. Then they came for the Queer community, once again I said nothing because what about the Palestinians? Then they came for me, but I told them that it was impossible for them to come for me because no one has done anything about the genocide of the Palestinians. They laugh and took me anyway.”

      Again you miss the point. So you “said something” about Palestinians? All I can see you saying about the issue is shaming people for still talking about it even though it’s still an ongoing issue. You’re claiming that people who talk about it still just have a superiority complex and are somehow at fault for everything trump does, even though the democratic party, who has far more power than any of us, were happy to continue supporting genocide even if it meant losing votes.

      Let me state that again: the democratic party, your supposed champions holding back fascism, were happy to ignore voters protesting genocide because they thought sending billions in weapons in support of genocide is more important than their votes. Now you’re telling me that these very same champions give a shit about any of your friends and family? It would be hilarious if it wasn’t so tragic. The democratic party is the “good cop” in the good cop/bad cop fascism routine. Both cops work for the same organization and have the same goal.
