Fucking shameful.
Captured Congress, doesn’t matter which side when it comes to Israel.
Sad but true. Democrats are slightly better, but not much.
They claim to be.
No, they are. Israel hates the Democrats. But like I said, it's a very slight degree of difference. Biden sent humanitarian aid to Gaza despite what Israel said. Trump brags about wanting to deport all Palestinians.
Israel hates the Democrats
Yeah, no one likes someone who is so desperate for approval that they have no morals.
"Forming a task force" man, go fuck yourself. Do these assholes even know what's going on over there?
Fucking dicks
Dems since the 1970s: "We need a two state solution"
Palestinians: "We're applying for statehood"
Dems: "No"
10 years from now the task force report comes out. "It was a genocide somebody should have stopped it. Let's form a new task force to figure out who was at fault."
What kind of a messed up headline is that?
Serious question, what is wrong with the headline? The article is only 4 paragraphs long and the headline basically sums what is written in the article. Id get it if you thought the article itself was shitty but I stared at the headline long enough without seeing anything wrong so I gotta ask, what am I missing?
A headline is supposed to convey a simple straight forward summary of the article, without any question or confusion about the content.
This headline is anything but straight forward .... it can mean multiple things to multiple different groups of people ... and the writer and news agency can feign ignorance and call it all a misunderstanding if anyone reading it questions the headline.
A sign of a bad news agency or an unreliable source is when they produce headlines that beg more questions about the presentation, journalist, writer, or news agency than the actual article they shared.
I thought it was straightforward.
Democrats voted on a resolution for an arms embargo, and the vote failed.
Your explanation isn't straightforward though.
Democrats voted on a resolution for an arms embargo, and the vote failed
This could mean the Democrats voted for the resolution, but it failed. It could also mean the Democrats voted against the resolution, making it fail. All we know is the Dems voted, and the vote failed. The statement isn't clear which way they voted.
My first assumption was that it was only the Democrats voting, which seems to have been the case, as it was a DNC internal vote. If there were more than democrats voting on it, then to say that it was the democrats who were voting would seem to me to be unnecessary or misleading.
They certainly could have mentioned the DNC in the title to make it more more clear, though.
That's actually less straightforward
Yeah I still don't understand the people having a problem with this?
What things? How are you reading it that's what I'm not understanding either. You say it can convey multiple things but I'm not seeing it.
The main problem with the headline is: which Democrats where? Which country? Is this an important bill with grave consequences or an opinion poll?
Come on now. For which Democrats and which country don't be naive. Intellectual dishonesty is never been helpful for anyone ever and you should stop practicing it. As for the other two questions that's not necessary for a title that's what the article is for. That's the context you're supposed to get from reading articles not skimming titles.
Those are answered in the article.
Look, "Times of Israel" is not a source that I know or trust. So I'm not going to waste my time clicking through and reading the article, unless I'm convinced this is a really noteworthy story that's worth reading.
So in that sense, the headline writers have failed to convert me into a reader. Because I can't tell if this is the entire House Democratic caucus; or if it's the Democratic party convention of Putnam Co., GA; or if it's democratic reformers in monarchical Saudi Arabia.
The only time Democrats and Republicans in congress can put aside differences is when it's to support Israel or fuck over progressive candidates.
So our choices are Nazi's or genocidal maniacs. Fuck the DNC.
This is why people say during elections that it doesn't matter which partythey vote for
It made it easier for the Nazis to walk in the front door.
There's bipartisan support to keep arming fascists. The nazis are calling from inside the house.
I think the point is that there's Nazis and there's flamboyant Nazis. Aye is pronounced the same on both sides of the aisle, as evidence by their voting records.
What about republicans? How did they vote?
Given that it was an internal DNC vote... they didn't
Exactly the same as the Democrats. Uniparty strikes again!
