This fucked, since Israel goal is to kill them all. This just means this shit isn't even close to over. Can we please get an American Congress that will put a stop to this?
There are ~3 congress members out of 535 total who oppose this genocide. Thats ~0.56%, despite the general population of the US being over half opposing the genocide.
The US isn't a democracy, its a capitalist dictatorship, and meaningful change can't come through its own system.
The US government is the primary driver behind this war of extermination
Hence why I said Congress has the power to stop this. We cut off money and weapons and send our military in to bring aid to Gaza this shit would end.
Congress has the power to stop it in the same way a serial killer has the power to stop killing.
They're the ones intentionally doing it, they're not going to just choose to stop.
Oh you mean like AOC who told us peasants that the iron dome is defensive and of need of american taxdollars.
Most Americans fully support this. AOC votes to send missiles to Israel and the Democrats are falling over eachother to defend her.
No they don't.
3.5 more years until we have a chance of restoring sanity. Assuming there is still an America at that point.
Edit: Since it seems I wasn’t clear, my point was the rest of world can’t and shouldn’t trust America. There are more countries in the world than the US and hoping the US does anything, especially in time to save Palestinian lives, is as pointless as “thoughts and prayers.” Just as global boycotts are finding ways to cut America out of their societies, the same should be happening for international politics.
There was never sanity. The dems support this. With thunderous applause.
The genocide started when Democrats were in power with iron-clad support from the Biden administration.
Why are democrats like this? "damn I guess we'll wait 3.5 years until we can vooooote, maybe the genocide will end then"
Democrats: against every war except the current one.
The democrats from other instances have no historical memory, that their party supported and continues to support every US war, from Vietnam, to Iraq, to Palestine.
Half these deaths were under Biden.
You forget the democrats started this genocide.
...The genocide didn't start in 2023, it's been an ongoing project for decades.
What about your country stops genociding people now asshole? Do you have any idea if the meaning of what your saying?
"Genocide can wait, we gotta preserve democracy" what a scum
Well we could theoretically flip congress in the midterms in 18 months.
Flipping red to blue won’t accomplish much as long as the Democratic party remains a right-wing oligarchic cesspool. The US has two right wing parties and the ratchet effect is very, very real. Look at slightly-left-of-center candidates like Mamdani and Bernie. There is nowhere more left for them to go than the DNC, but the DNC will pull out all the stops to prevent even one slightly leftist candidate from making progress because the party is firmly and militantly right wing.
Short of breaking up the two-party system, which both parties are fighting through the suppression of basic reforms like RCV, we need to find and run strong, leftist candidates that can replace rightists across the board, especially those that make up the majority of the US Democratic party.
I honestly can't say I disagree with you on this. Voting blue is more a stay of execution than a solution. I voted 3rd party for decades. But I'm at the point now where the Republicans just need another sound defeat.
I left the USA 25 years ago because I saw this coming with Bush Jr. I have been talking about fascism coming to the USA since then. I dont really see anything stopping this short of a full uprising. But at least we can have a rest in the march to fascist autocracy, right?
Nope, the Democrats are also in full support of this genocide.
Yeah sorry I forgot what thread we were on. You will get no help from the US on the genocide unless you get someone amazing like Sanders elected as president. Even then, no one will likely work with him on it.
Not on the unlimited firepower and diplomatic cover for Israel issue.
