A group of “uncommitted” Democratic Party delegates organized a sit-in outside the Democratic National Convention (DNC) for more than 24 hours. Their main demand was that any Palestinian speaker be given a little bit of time, with a speech vetted in advance by the Democratic leadership.
The delegates even said their demand would help the Democratic Party, since so many people are outraged by the massacre in Gaza, and having a Palestinian speaker would allow the Democrats to pretend they care.
But even that was too much for the Democratic leadership, which refused the delegates’ demands.
Could it be any clearer? For all their posing, the Democratic Party is just as much a party of U.S. imperialism as the Republican Party. It is just as willing to back massacres of civilian populations in the name of “fighting terrorism.” It is just as willing to risk dragging the world into a wider and wider war.
