"Three U.S. C-130 cargo planes dropped 66 total bundles, equating to about 38,000 pork-free meals, into the territory on Saturday morning. The bundles were split between three planes, the official said."

"The airdrop is expected to be the first of many announced by President Joe Biden on Friday. The aid will be coordinated with Jordan, which has also conducted airdrops to deliver food to Gaza."

I live in a red state. Republicans have made me actually worry about my children's future in more ways than one. I will be lining up to vote for Democrats for the foreseeable future unless there's a truly radical candidate running D (maybe RFK Jr if he ever runs).

I hate that my choice is to vote against my children or not. I wish both parties were rational. Instead the real election is the primaries. And this year there basically wasn't one.

There are a lot more positions to vote on than the POTUS.

The more support the president has in the other branches, the more they all can do, and the ~~future~~ fewer consessions.

The fact of the matter is, the Dems need majorities in both houses, and enough margin that a couple DINOs can't fuck everything up.

100% We need a majority of liberals. Or a couple of untimely deaths in the Supreme Court when Dems have the Senate.

You have to protect yourself before you can help others.

Please no RFK Jr. He may be a "radical" option in that he's literally insane, but he's a horrible option.

[-] Omegamanthethird@lemmy.world 5 points 8 months ago

That's what I meant when I said there's few Dems I might not vote for. He's one of them.
