Yep, Project 2025 wasn't exaggerated at all. We all knew this would happen.
But I'm gonna blame Biden, Harris and AIPAC for blowing up the liberal-progressive coalition and alienating working class Americans with high inflation.
How do you lose 6 million voters from 2020 to 2024. That's just insane.
Half of them went to Trump, the other half stayed home.
Madness
Also, a lot of people, myself included, make it a point to go to the bathroom before swimming.
And I don't usually consume food or drinks until I am (almost) done with swimming. A four hour stretch of just recreational swimming and chilling is easy without food or drink.
That would be more in line with the actual American tradition.
But personally, I would recommend to only allow filibusters in the House, which has a more proportional representation, and to not allow it in the Senate, which has the least proportional representation, even less than the electoral college.
Interesting that this map does have Palestine (presumably the West Bank and east Jerusalem) but doesn't consider Gaza part of Palestine.
That's quite a unique combination.
Edit: looking at Azerbaijan, I think they just focus on the biggest landmass and ignore exclaves.
Edit2: the fine print actually says that they ignore exclaves, except for Malaysia.
Does anyone know if there is a picture of this billboard?
The problem is, the people who are swayed by this argument were already going to vote Blue no matter who.
To win the election, you need to convince voters who are still doubting between Trump and Biden. And they have definitely heard this argument before, so a different argument is needed.
For decades, Israel and the US (and European countries) have pursued a policy to destabilize middle eastern regimes.
People don't realize this, but there was a wave of Arab nationalism that was killed by sponsoring Islamic extremists. Had that not happened, the middle east would be much more secular today than it is.
Israel attacking and destabilizing Lebanon and Syria and the US maintaining a dictator in Egypt are part of this strategy.
In turn, this leads to hate towards the West and Israel by the Muslims affected.
It won't stop as long as American voters care much more about gas prices than about human rights. American politicians are willing to sponsor genocide to have some control on oil prices in order to win elections.
The last natural, human, popular subreddit to arise on reddit was r/antiwork
After that, the site got swarmed by bots and censorship.
If you try and post something even remotely progressive in a popular subreddit, it will get deleted and you will probably get banned.
Usually with these types of things, it tends to be worse for the smaller economy, but both suffer. (See Brexit, Sanctions on Russia, Iran and Venezuela, and also historically those on apartheid South Africa and Rhodesia).
Turkey has a GDP 2-3x that of Israel, so I don't know why you'd think it would be worse for them.
Because base 12 is superior to base 10.
Honestly, tokenism is a good place to start.
Realistically, there is no political majority in the USA to go further. The progressive caucus is only about 10% of the House.
That's enough to have influence, but not enough to drive policy.
But over time, the movement grows.
Bibi is hoping the hostages all die soon in a way that the blame isn't put on him.
Then he can proceed with his final solution.
Zionists really are the Nazi's of our time.
