It sucks but if both sides support Israel in this war, it's kind of a non issue. I also think Americans need to make their own country's issues the focus on their election, not what's going on across the planet.
And again, if the Dems keep fighting over this, Trump will win and he will surely help Netanyahu stomp Palestine, and he'll do it gleefully
where the country's money goes is a domestic issue. so far we have given israel over $260 billion dollars for the zionist colonial project. all that money could have been used to prevent the ageing infrastructure that is plagueing the US from crumbling. no instead we give it to a terror state to destroy someone else's infrastructure
A lot of hyperbole and dog whistles in there. In any case, the other candidates are going to support Netanyahu just as much if not more, so again it's a job issue for an election and needs to be worked out at a state and local level I think.
By the way, all this colonialism talk always irks me most cause Americans glassed and colonized my country and continue to colonize and own it, yet they feel they're qualified to criticize others on the subject. My people were murdered, used and made out to be the enemy and we never got so much as an apology, before you guys moved on and are moralizing over there now.
Extract yourself from my Nation first before you call out others
what dog whistles? i used factually accurate information. that 260 bil is fact. it is fact that israelis are zionists, they literally call themselves that. israel is a terror state much like the US is a terror state and always has. always will be.
so you don't want people within the imperial core to protest against the imperial core and its colonial, genocidal policies?? all your paragraph above tells me is i should be protesting against both parties more. i can personally apologize for the US actions but it wouldn't really do much. there are a lot of reparations that need to be paid by the US and that is what we are trying to do. you can't force democrats to do jack shit unless they feel they will lose their power.
i would if i personally could. and that is something that i advocate for. and i'm not calling out other nations that are occupied by US military/capital. i'm calling out my country and israel for conducting an ethnic cleansing.
I think it's the next wave of division propaganda. The same thing happened in the leadup to 2016, trying to make progressives and centrists lose interest by acting like both sides are the same and generating apathy towards voting at all. It's like everyone forgot all the daily life effecting changes trump and his party made. Replacing regulatory heads with corporate interest shills, stacking the courts with obviously biased judges, cutting corporate taxes while raising average rates, gutting funding for anything actually helpful, and giving validation to christian nationalists.
Remember folks, Ajit Pai, Betsey DeVos, The Postal Service, the ACA, and the fucking Coup.
