Get your fucking shit together U.S. First you play world police and the next moment you spiral into authoritarianism. EU also does not get its shit together. We are fucked aren't we?

Many of us can't take a day off work without fear of losing the roof over our heads, we ain't got time or energy to fight, and that's by design.

This is fucked. The pro-Israel lobby is out of control.

Israel is a failed experiment and should’ve been stopped 60 years ago.

Being pro-genocide is a bipartisan affair in the US.

It's not so much being pro-genocide as being genocide indifferent. The real motivation here is to avoid precedent that could be used against the US in the future. The US absolutely doesn't want to be subject to the ICC.

Amerika is a one-party state; but with typical undeserved Yankee extravagance, they have two of them.

But you know, "Amerikans better vote for the people who'll definitely be better for Palestine. You better not still be Undecided!"

Yankee settlers are so fuckin washed.
