Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

What race? You don't even have the ability to race because you're sabotaging yourself at every opportunity like you're Dick Dastardly in Wacky Races. yamcha

The hearing before the committee chaired by Cruz, Commerce, Science, and Transportation, included the usual mishmash of parochial politics, lobbying for traditional space, back slapping, and fawning—at one point, Gold, a Star Trek fan, went so far as to assert that Cruz is the "Captain Kirk" of the US Senate.

It is because party leaders tote the status quo, and that is why we have a gerontocracy.

'Tote the status quo'?
Also, it doesn't matter if you have old leaders or young. The problem is that they are malicious, and not that they are stupid. Them being stupid and hurting your empire's ability to conduct genocides and invasions actually helps the rest of the world.

promising politicians like AOC.

If you think that AOC is 'promising', then there has never been any hope for you. She is a supporter of the genocide.

Illogical is not a buzzword.

Yeah, it is. It is used solely by people who don't actually understand what logic is.

You're just deflecting from the fact that there are less shitty choices, although all choices are shitty.

Electoralism almost never works in general.
In this particular context, if we assume that the only viable choices are the two faces of your uniparty, then the least shitty option is the most senile, least competent one.

We are powerless to deal with it.

Then you have no ground to demand that the rest of the world waits for you to do anything and not fight your empire in the meantime. In particular, this applies to complaints about Hamas, but also to other parts of the world that are fighting you.

AIPAC funds corrupt congress members and allow procurement of way way more money in aid in return for that. They essentially buy our officials.

You are extremely naive if you actually think that it's AIPAC that controls your state, and not vice versa.
