So the deluge of Biden admins who have resigned because of the genocide in Palestine: are they all Trump supporters now since they are withholding their support for Biden?

Good lord, it is horrifying to think about what kind of horrific monstrosities the dems will support in coming decades in the name of "harm reduction" instead of asking hard questions about the viability of their political system, which is bought and paid for by special interests. I give it 5 more presidential cycles before the democratic tagline evolves into "vote for our candidate who only wants to do 5 genocides as opposed to the one who wants to do 6 genocides!". Y'all have been anchor biased hard as fuck. Liberals will continue to prop up genocide such that they don't have to question capitalism, or contemplating what kind of steps would need to be taken to dismantle it.

The history is there folks, read it before you start taking shots to the left as you flail - trying and failing to understand how your country is backsliding into genocidal fascism.

Who's arguing about the viability of third-party candidates? Your comment is a non sequitur.

The IDF killed so many of their own people on Oct 7 that they refuse to investigate further.

As the next few decades roll by, and the US continues to backslide into fascism, it'll be interesting to see your line of thinking evolve into

"Well, look... John 'blue-tie' Smith isn't the strongest candidate. Sure, he's waging 4 genocides across multiple theaters, but compare him to Chris 'red-tie' Lee who wants to start 7 more genocides, and the answer of who's the better candidate is very clear. Thank God for my liberal pragmatism. Vote blue no matter who!"

The country is ratcheting further and further into fascism, and liberal 'pragmatism' is keeping people from asking real questions about how overarching political systems can be conducive to genocide. It obfuscates the real reasons behind the emergence of fascism.

But sure, keep falling for the good cop bad cop routine - I'm sure after just 4 or 5 or 20 more democratic presidents, you'll finally have the enlightened society you've been aiming for.

Why do you think surveillance units cannot be hostile? By that logic, you'd be fine with the Houthis flying surveillance drones over US soil.

At the bare minimum, it's a 5000 pound drone that could do damage if it falls out of the sky. Sure, the chances are minimal, but why should Houthis be expected to bear that risk?

“Yemeni air defenses were able to shoot down an American plane (MQ-9) with a suitable missile while it was carrying out hostile missions against our country on behalf of the Zionist entity,” a Houthi military spokesperson, Yahya Sarea, said in a statement.

“Yemeni armed forces will not hesitate to take more military measures and carry out more qualitative operations against all hostile targets in defense of beloved Yemen,” the statement said.

I'm struggling to see which part of this statement is braggadocious.

Heavy equipment also use the technology. Someone using this tool at a construction site could cause massive issue to 70k pound loaders using radar to detect personnel.

Can you show me a single time in history when a ruling class simply "ceased to exist" due to a "primarily progressive" populace?

Ruling classes: classes with power, money, capital, do not simply cease to exist. Their power isn't given up so easily.

Your original premise that only conservative voters protect the ruling class is so demonstrably wrong. Look at at the entirety of the social democratic Europe: who have attained riches from the global south. Look back to FDR voters who cheered internment camps. Look at modern Biden voters who tacitly approve genocide in Gaza. Look to the social democrats who betrayed leftists in Germany. Make no mistake: democrats preserve capitalism.

You have a warped view of our issues as left vs right when they're actually up vs down: which plays into the hands of big interests like big oil. And the result is that you are pacifying people who would otherwise be doing actual class analysis and have some ounce of revolutionary fervor. Instead, you're perpetuating the myth that all the evil we experience in our politics is due to baddies on the right who are proud Republicans.

I suspect that as time goes on, while the US and world continue to backside into genocidal fascism, you'll find yourself confused and aimless, wondering why every tool at your disposal (electoralism, kissing the feet of democrats) isn't helping to stop Nazis.

You have to read some Marx and understand these are class-based issues as opposed to left v right.

So honest question: why do you find it more accurate to refer to these people as conservatives instead of the ruling class in your original comment?

... who get tacit approval from liberal democrats. Both parties are bought and paid for by special interests: namely oil. Biden has drilled more than Trump.

Nope.

More money = more drones = more power = undefeatable.

/s obviously, but it is maddening to hear people talk about modern civil wars as if they're fought like the American revolutionary war: huge fronts of soldiers walking toward each other, where more bodies and resources were more indicative of a strong force.

That line of thinking went out the window 100 years ago. The sheer might of the US army does not mean as much when it takes just one disgruntled Texan to shoot critical power transformers, take a government official's child hostage, blow up rail lines, etc..

The idea that the American army is an unbeatable force because of our money expenditure is nothing more than American exceptionalism, and I'd encourage believers of that line of thinking to learn about modern guerilla warfare.
