The administration claimed that blocking arms transfers would embolden Hamas — ignoring Israel’s genocidal slaughter.

He earned the Genocide Joe tag at this point. Hes got nothing to lose but still insists the genocide continues without the least bit of resistance.

but after the election the Democrats are going to be anti genocide. They can't be progressive until after the election because of AIPAC. once the election is over, they're going to do a complete 180 mark my words

Even after Israel treated Biden like shit for four years in response to unquestionable support...

Israel backed trump instead and Biden still is fighting his own party on this instead of spending his last few weeks with any power trying to mitigate Trump's incoming damage.

At this point I honestly don't understand how anyone can claim Biden was anything but a waste of four years that was so unproductive it let trump back into the White House.

I don't give two shits if these ultra conservative Dems are slightly better than a republican. I know I can hold my nose, been doing it for a long time.

But not enough other people will.

And yelling at them isn't effective.

So why don't we stop trying to shove neoliberalism down Dem voters throats, and just run a candidate Dem voters already want to vote for over trump without needing a billion dollar campaign funded by everyone causing problems for the American people

Iran, Russia, China and North Korea have formed an alliance. The US supports Israel as a means to an end: preventing Iran from growing in power in that region.

[–] kreskin@lemmy.world 11 points 9 hours ago* (last edited 9 hours ago) (1 children)

well if thats true, we've alienated our allies in that region so that plan was remarkably stupid. Or, it could just be that our representitives have been bribed and Israel doesnt care what US support for mass murder costs the US long term.

Or that the problem is Netanyahu and there is no easy way to end his genocide without letting Iran and thus Russia, China and North Korea get stronger.

Pure idiocy at this point.

[–] Rapidcreek@lemmy.world 16 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

It failed on the floor, but got an impressive 18 votes, I think. Done.

All Republicans voted against it.

[–] Zorsith@lemmy.blahaj.zone 19 points 13 hours ago (2 children)

That was guaranteed, the Democrats that voted against it is the important part; these are the people to campaign against and vote out.

But I'd suggest supporting the yay votes, rather than punishing the nays. Those progressive seats are the ones the DNC will try to primary, and they'll need campaign donation help next cycle.

[–] macaro@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 12 hours ago

Still gonna email my displeasure to my senators.

[–] Aceticon@lemmy.world 14 points 14 hours ago

Clearly at least some of the Democrats are a Nazi as the Republicans.
