What a weird focus on the US democratic party. Every single US government has been doing this exact same thing.
Every single US government has been doing this exact same thing.
So... both sides are evil?
Correct
In essence the entire US Government regardless if Republican or Democrat are complicit in this ongoing genocide.
That is true, but Republican's electoral base mostly agrees with this whereas democrat's electoral base doesn't. Many Pro-republicans will gleefully vote for genocide or deny than that's what's going on. Pro-democrats, however are asked to tolerate genocide to vote for the lesser of two evils. It makes sense that the latter will protest and demand that the politicians who are supposed to represent them change their ways.
Getting rid of zionistic tendencies won't just happen during one legislative period. But I'm not deep into US Politics so I can't make any statements or suggestions how to get rid of this heinous stance.
So yeah voting democrats is the lesser evil on only this topic, while it is a way better choice regarding other more domestic issues.
Whether the winner is Trump or Kamala, both of them will still keep supporting Israel; as their actions benefit US overall. Trump even had the chance to resolve the israel palestine crisis back when he was the president. He didn't. Why would he change policies after he's elected again?
Sure keep calling me the bad guy for picking the lesser evil. Maybe if you keep doing it enough, Lemmy will get more users.
What does “finish the job “ mean to you? People In glass houses shouldn’t throw stones.
We see articles about trump talking with bibi to stall or delay any ceasefire because it’ll help Harris… you post this?
Sounds like shipping 14,000+ 2,000 pound bombs to israel.
Sure sounds like Biden should start using his leverage over israel if he wants to achieve that ceasefire. If only he had the power to do that amiright haha.
No, you’re not right. We have literally ZERO idea what happens in the talks for a ceasefire. Sure I agree we should just stop sending them weapons. Is it that cut and dry? And especially now with dipshit Donny and bibi talking on the side.
We know. Blinken goes to israel, promises Netanyahu more weapons and asks him what lie he needs to say to blame Hamas. Then Blinken goes to Egypt and tells Sisi to help israel.
And especially now with dipshit Donny and bibi talking on the side.
Half the Trump stage is israeli flags not sure why people are acting surprised at a phone call.
I can’t tell if that first period is on accident or not and it changes the entire structure and point.
If you’re saying that we know what Bliken promises and says behind closed doors I’m going to need a source.
What does not being surprised by the call matter?
Paywalled, can’t read it
You can bypass it by pasting the article link into archive.ph, But actually this article is even better
US Secretary of State Antony Blinken sentenced the Gaza ceasefire negotiations to death by implying Hamas was the obstacle to a deal and that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had accepted it, Israeli officials told local media.
Dear Leftists,
You claim to hate whataboutism, yet every time someone suggests voting for Harris so Trump doesn't win and thus do irreparable harm to Gaza, to large numbers of vulnerable Americans, to the climate, and to our ability to vote at all, you say "whatabout democrats". Curious!
Dear Liberals,
Democrats are committing Genocide right now. Trump is not the president. It is not 2016. You can't blame Trump for Demcrats doing a Nazi Holocaust.
Kind regards.
I’m sorry but short of a revolution (which is unlikely), or slow, measured positive change over the course of decades (which we’d still have to fight hard for), we’re stuck with a two party system and you shouldn’t blame people for sticking with the lesser of two evils. I do agree that Liberals can be heavy handed with their bans, but I guess they’re doing so to keep the discourse focused. Trump is a very real and immediate threat who might commit far more heinous crime if he becomes the president again.
Policy change comes from people resisting policy with their votes. Abortion is on the agenda because people demanded it with votes. This is no different.
Enough people start demanding it and it will happen. No matter how much politicians want to sell out, they can only do so if you vote for them.
Dear person who refuses to argue in good faith,
First of all, last I checked, Netanyahu was committing genocide, not the Democrats. Second of all, Trump has promised to funnel arms to Israel harder than Biden currently is, and he stands a very real chance of winning the 2024 election.
I'd like to focus my counterargument. Which of these statements do you disagree with?
EDIT: why am I not surprised that you left a downvote but not a reply?
The dude has been told that countless times and obviously doesn’t remotely give a fuck. Makes you wonder why he’s going so hard for months on a strategy that could only result in helping Trump, huh? Sure af wouldn’t help Palestinians or “reform the democrats” as is claimed.
