Regardless of which side of the political aisle you are in, what is one hot take you have that would get you cancelled in your own party?

I feel like I’m going to ruffle a lot of feathers with this one, but somebody’s gotta say it.
You cannot scream nonstop about foreign countries like Israel having so much influence over our elections and our policies and in the same breath, tell us that we should be making Palestine and the people of Gaza our #1 priority in our elections over our own interests. I see leftists do this all the time and it gives me whiplash every single time. Babe, you are doing the exact same thing you are criticizing both Democrats and Republicans for doing with Israel. The only difference is that both parties are getting paid to support Israel’s interests. You are promoting Palestine’s interests over what is good for Americans for free. I don’t want to be the United States of Israel, but I’m not trying to become the United States of Palestine either. If we’re against foreign influence, let’s actually be against it. All of it, not just the versions of it we don’t like.

It's not that we're putting Palestine before America. It's that opposing genocide SHOULD be the most simple thing in the world. If Democrats can't oppose genocide, how can we trust them to protect our democracy?

I do think anyone who didn't vote for Harris did enable Fascism, and they should be shamed. But I also understand how someone can think that there's no point in voting when both parties are willing to fund an apartheid state doing a genocide.
