Good looking US Senator Jon Ossoff (D-GA) sounds a bit wishy-washy:
"US Democratic Sen. Jon Ossoff said Israeli forces violated the law of armed conflict and international humanitarian law during its war on the Gaza Strip.
Responding to a question on whether Israel had committed genocide in Gaza, Ossoff said genocide requires a specific intent to destroy a national or ethnic group.
"The question of genocide is a question of whether a government has the specific intent to destroy a national or ethnic group," Ossoff said, adding that the determination was a matter for the International Criminal Court (ICC)."
*PUNT!*
Uh-huh. That sounds like lawyering, not leading.
Loser Andrew "AIPAC" Cuomo, who betrayed the Democratic Party to run as an independent against Democrat Zohran Mamdani in 2025, bleated the same nonsense.
Dozens of academics, the UN, and Holocaust survivors agree that Israel is committing genocide in Gaza.
Google it.
Meanwhile, US Senator-elect Troy Jackson (D-ME) doesn't sound mealy-mouthed:
"Anybody with eyes and a heart knows the Israeli government is committing genocide in Gaza," stated the Maine Senate candidate (10 July 2026).
And Troy Jackson isn't a judge at the ICC.
So, many of us will pass on corporate tools Jon Ossoff, Gavin Newsom, and Pete Buttigieg, thank you very much.
But we will change our minds should any of them declare: "I will recognize the State of Palestine on the day I am inaugurated President of the United States."
That's political and moral leadership.
Otherwise...

I told you that you were too stupid or immoral to understand
And I was right
If you can't understand how the president lying about how our elections work, you know, the very basis of democracy impacts people's understanding of civics
well, that is just you being you
I've said it before, I'll say it again, the majority of the problems YOU decry are caused by the decades long conservative agenda.
People don't understand civics? Republicans have been attacking education for decades Republicans have been propagandizing lies that attack democracy and the functioning of our government. Republicans elect a president who lies, about EVERYTHING.
There is an economic divide? Republicans only agenda is cutting taxes for the rich and gutting social safety net for the majority of Americans
There is an immigration problem? Republicans destabilize developing nations and incentivize corporations to seek cheap labor
There is a trans problem? Actually NO there is no trans problem, Republicans lie about trans people and destroy lives
Republicans lie and get us into wars
Republicans lie and gut climate change solutions INCLUDING solutions that have great economic benefits
Republicans LIE and subvert democracy
So, yeah the problem is you
