huh, we wasn't cynically posturing for election purposes, he really wants to die on this hill :/
He welcomes Trump with open arms, and acts like a lame duck. But can still get fired up to defend war criminals and try to stop Bernie’s move to block arms shipments. I don’t even know what to say.
You say what was obvious from the start. Democrats were never going to stop the genocide in Gaza.
The man is getting senile, he works on knee jerk reactions as if it's the 70's.
Fuck you, Biden. Shit like this is what just opened the door to Project 2025.
Nope, they lost because they blindly support the billionaires over everyday people. Israel is a tiny symptom of the real problem, which is the concentration of wealth.
They bailed out the teamsters pension fund and had to fight Republicans tooth and nail to do it — didnt even result in am endorsement and majority of teamsters still voted GOP.
CHIP act made Arizona flush with manufacturing and construction jobs, still voted GOP.
The reason Democrats lose is because they have to campaign against a made-up Republican that is normal and reasonable and Republicans get to campaign against the Oberlin faculty lounge instead of Democrats
Crumbs will not be tolerated any longer. Universal Health, Universal Education, Universal Housing. What people want is clear. The message could not have been any louder. They have trouble feeding their family, and Biden is busy taking victory laps whining about why people can't see what a good job he's done. While rent and food are doubling for the large knot of Americans stuck in the 35-40k dollar income segment.
They don't want to hear excuses, and they don't want crumbs. Politicians have the power to knock down any and all barriers to re-aligning the economy. Instead the democrats chose to play to the upper middle class, and donors. They went sharp right and only announced progressive policies when they were losing ground in the polls. People noticed that and knew those promises were as good as Biden's. (toilet paper)
Yet they never tackled the monopolies in the healthcare, food and housing industries responsible for the cost of living crisis, which cost them the election.
Por que no los dos?
Ambos son parte del mismo problema.
"Were there not an Israel, the United States would have to invent an Israel to protect her interests in the region."

Israel is good for 2 things, as far as 60% of Congress is concerned: destabilizing Muslim countries to prevent a strong coalition from forming, and donating money to US politicians. What's a little genocide in the face of that?
That's far too generous. At the very most, 10% of congress is on the right side of history when it comes to America's favorite fascist apartheid regime.
The public in general is closer to 65-35 the opposite direction.
That may be true, but only 60% of congress is receiving Israeli bribes. Hence the number I chose.
Again, overly generous. Almost all of them are either receiving bribes from them or running against someone who is in both primary and general elections. 60% is hella optimistic.
60% is hella optimistic.
It's hyperbolic, actually. According to opensecrets.org, the actual number is only 52.5%. Of course, I'm sure that there's some back-room deals that aren't recorded publicly, and so the number is higher than that. 60% seems like a good, round, umbrella-like figure.
Maybe I'm soft but I find the dead and starving children to be slightly more outrageous
How anti-semitic!
/s
He's at the end of his career, doesn't need the money to fight the zionists propaganda, so that means he actually believes this.
OR like I suspected before, Israel houses A LOT of secret US intelligence and defense capabilities
In Israel it's legal for companies to sell computer exploits to nation states and other actors like corporations. A lot of ex military from the u.s. work for these companies in Israel.
Fuck you Joe Biden for sending my country off a cliff all because facilitating a genocide was more important to you than providing my generation a future.
And this is why you lost the election. You never fucking learn, do you?
He, Hillary, and Pelosi need to retire and enjoy doing something else than screwing up with America
Joe Biden is literally the Grandpa in the joke "Grandpa died peacefully in his sleep. Everyone else on the bus he was driving died screaming." Grandpa needs to just shut the fuck up and go away already.
He's mad because there isn't one for him too. They should get working on that.
dude how about you go and personally strangle Palestinian kids yourself? just get it out of your system, you petrified leather demon.
please die together with Trump and Putin
Honestly fuck joe biden, I hope he falls down some stairs
We know what you think genocide Joe.
Doesn’t really matter what he thinks, since the US ain’t part of the ICC. What’s pathetic is countries being part of the ICC, condemning the arrest warrants.
Outrageous! How the fuck are we supposed to murder, rob, subjugate, steal, and run our modern-day slave empires if the ICC can just go and arrest people all willy-nilly and shit?
Fuck this
Fuck me, that's some selective outrage there.
LOL earlier he said he disagreed wjth it but it was deserved. Two-faced old bastard.
I hate to say it but this is one of many reasons a good portion of the non voting left voted for Trump by not voting.
no shame
I'd say having a senile old man as the head of a country is much more 'outrageous'
I'm surprised it didn't happen years ago. I'm also outraged that no u.s president has been tried
Where does a 600 pound gorilla sit?
US foreign policy:
Wherever the fuck he wants. Whatcha gonna do about it?
Fuck you, you goddamned ghoul. You belong on the scaffold right next to Netanyahu.

Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
