That “career politician” refuses to follow the law, and stop supporting a genocide.
Huh, a post history consisting of nothing but "What did Russia ever do wrong?" and "Dems bad because genocide". How many rubles do you get paid per post?
that doesn’t make him wrong. behaviour like this only makes us hypocrites.
the fact is biden is a genocider and harris preferred loosing the election over taking the a humane stance on this. both taking the largest donations from aipac in our election history also doesn’t look good.
Thinking that speaking out and condemning Israel would help them whatsoever shows you have literally no idea how US politics work. Let me preface this with the following: I'm well aware of the absolute atrocities going on, I don't think the US should be supporting Israel given the shit they're pulling, and do wish they would take action against them.
However, speaking out would be FAR more damaging than anything they've done so far. Do you have any idea how many Christians in the US literally think of Israel as what will bring about the second coming of Christ, and thus not supporting them would basically be seen and spun as doing Satan's work?
The Jewish population of the US is literally double that of the Muslim population, so purely from a numbers game, any chance of even denting that support would be suicidal.
Finally, there's the absolutely comical mainstream media bias where the very moment Harris spoke out strongly against Israel, there'd be an endless spew of how she wants to wipe Israel off the map and finish what Hitler started.
I get it, it's fucking frustrating and tiring and disgusting what's going on, but it's sadly the way it has to be played at the moment, and acting like Trump being elected has any chance at improving the situation is delusional at best.
thnx but i am very much aware of how our politics works. the thing is all the evangelical and jews with pro-genocide stance were already voting for trump anyway. the anti-genocide is also a much larger demography than just muslims. many disapproved of dnc might have still voted for harris for the lesser evil reason but her supporting genocide with our tax money was just too much too ignore. then seeing the current administration full of disgusting smugs like blinken, millers just made it impossible to vote for dnc.
