Do you see Russians around every corner? This isn't the fucking 1950s where everything that opposed the government was Russia.

That is incorrect the foreign military financing program authorizes the president to finance procurement of defense articles and services for foreign countries and international organizations. Israel's $11 million per day welfare check and the arms they are provided is at the purview of the president. It's the exact same tactic that Ronald Reagan used in 1982 to stop Israel carpet bombing Lebanon. He threatened to pull back all monetary and weapons aid from the US, the bombing stopped.

Congress only controls foreign aid when it's initially approved. After it's approved, it's at the president's discretion if that funding gets cut

Thats exactly what you said. "Who cares that 30k+ Palestinians are dead as long as Biden doesnt lose'

Democrats need Trump as much as Republicans do. A big bogeyman like Trump keeps the oligarchy on both sides in power. Republicans can sell salvation, Dems sell fear, they both win, and the general public gets fucked

Israel was carpet bombing Lebanon in 1982, Reagan called Begin demanding the bombing stop or their government welfare checks and US weapons imports stops. The bombing stopped.

It's you thats fallen for propaganda.

Nail gun

FPTP can still work if we eliminated the electoral college which would force politicians to earn votes, eliminate primaries, which helps keep the oligarchy in power, one general election on election day, 1 term for the president, and fixed term for Congress. And the ability to remove a politician from power if they dont represent their constituents. And there's no reason we couldn't have remote voting via app on election day

Neither is an option, but supporting the party of covert racism surely isnt the answer

While our federal government does nothing to stop it. They'll tokenize marginalized groups for power but do nothing to protect them

Hos 3rd year rating is the worst of any incumbent

It's always the ones parroting propaganda that demand sources/citations

Well, Biden has always been to the right of Reagan on nearly every issue.

So continue the slaughter so he doesn't lose? I thought liberals claimed they were gonna hold their people accountable

The US is funding and providing the weapons to kill Palestinians, resources Biden can withhold if he chooses to. Biden may not be pulling the trigger any more than Netanyahu is, but he is responsible for their deaths, and should be held accountable

Hopefully they will refuse to keep being tokenized and abandon the party

And they sure as fuck won't listen if they get reelected. Re Electing them is a referendum of their prior actions.

I'm not waiting for a perfect candidate, I'm waiting for voters to pull their heads out of their ass and see THEY are the ones responsible for the suffering of others by defending the status quo and it's leaders. Once they acknowledge that, better political leaders will emerge.

Liberals have surrendered with no resistance. Bitching on social media is not resistance. Refusing to support those inflicting pain and suffering on others is resisting. Protecting the status quo is protecting fascism, which this country is knee deep in.

There are only two options because voters only want two options, they have comfort in maintaining a status quo that's allowed them to live the privileged lives that they lead. The status quo is what keeps the marginalized forced to live In the margins of society

It is black and white. Neither of them represent the working class or the poor in this country. Politicians loyalties are grounded with corporations and banks.
