Had they kept quiet instead of trying to justify genocide they might have better chances in future elections, but I think they have lost some voters forever. Whether that will matter or not is yet to be seen, they are betting on winning more former-Republican and former-Trump voters so being pro-genocide might work for them.
This is basically it. The Democrats figured out that they don’t have to promise anything substantial as long as they can scare people into voting for them because the other team is worse. They can also rehash old promises as long as they find some excuse not to deliver on them when they have the power to do so.
A paramilitary force used in the past by the Sudanese government to quell local uprisings is now fighting the government and ethnically cleansing the country.
I have read that they have a gold mine to finance their war crimes, and some regional governments such as UAE are complicit.
I played the free Astro Bot game bundled with the PS5 and found it to be a quality platformer and a nostalgic trip through Playstation history. I didn’t play the latest release but will eventually.
The history of Western Sahara is more complicated than this article suggests. Until France and Spain divided the Moroccan Sultanate -AKA the Alawi Sultanate- during the scramble for Africa, it was all part of Morocco.
I have no idea how this could be solved, other than uniting the entire of Maghreb. On one hand Morocco has historical claims to the Western Sahara, on the other the monarchy is reactionary and corrupt and the people of Western Sahara have a right to self determination. Though in the grand scheme Sahrawis are not a distinct group of people than their Arab and Amazigh neighbors.
No it isn't. But enabling a genocide and disregarding international laws, as Biden and Harris are doing, is.
Biden/Harris by enabling the genocide have squandered all the moral high ground the West/US claims to have.
Here's what the Financial Times wrote a year ago:
“We have definitely lost the battle in the Global South,” said one senior G7 diplomat. “All the work we have done with the Global South [over Ukraine] has been lost . . . Forget about rules, forget about world order. They won’t ever listen to us again.”
“What we said about Ukraine has to apply to Gaza. Otherwise we lose all our credibility,” the senior G7 diplomat added. “The Brazilians, the South Africans, the Indonesians: why should they ever believe what we say about human rights?”
Just four weeks before the Hamas assault on Israel, leaders from the US, EU and western allies attended the G20 summit in New Delhi and asked developing nations to condemn Russia’s attacks on Ukrainian civilians in order to uphold respect for the UN charter and international law. Many of those officials told the Financial Times they have had the same argument read back at them in demands for condemnation of Israel’s retaliatory assault on Gaza, and of its decision to restrict water, electricity and gas supplies there.
I am not voting for genocide either way. If things are as critical as Democrats claim -they are lying- they would have stopped the genocide but they didn't care enough to stop it.
And liberals are pretending it has to do with her being a woman or a minority and not her support for genocide.
