Notice the key word they use being "sue" in all of these articles. But please, go off on how uneducated we americans tend to be with legalese and government procedures. That's a very class conscious thing to point out! Would help if democrats educated people about it but then they would be able to effectively navigate the elites world.

100,000 people in michigan is just a bunch of kids whining and pouting on the internet? good try at badjacketing though.
and its not stopping. in washington the UFCW 3000 are endorsing uncommitted in the primary. so working class union members are whiny pouty children? https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/washington-s-largest-labor-union-endorses-uncommitted-primary-vote-in-rebuke-to-biden/ar-BB1jaQPE I'll save you a click:
The union's executive board reached the endorsement decision on Wednesday night.
"Currently, many voters, and UFCW 3000 executive board, feel that the best path to have the best nominee, and to defeat Trump, is to vote 'uncommitted,'" the union said in a statement. "The hope is that this will strengthen the Democratic party’s ultimate nominee to defeat Trump in the General Election in November."
"We need a nominee who can run and beat Trump to protect workers across this country and around the world," the statement continued.
With over 50,000 members, the union is a force to be reckoned with as Biden seeks to win over voters in the primary contest.
The president is facing an uphill battle as he seeks to mobilize the broad coalition of Americans who delivered his 2020 White House win. His continued supply of weapons and diplomatic cover for Israel's brutal assault on Gaza is one of the major sticking points for young voters and voters of color.
Just this week, more than 100,000 Michigan primary voters cast their ballots "uncommitted" in solidarity with Gazans under siege after a three-week campaign. Biden won the swing state by just over 150,000 votes in 2020.
"We stand in solidarity with our partners in Michigan who sent a clear message in their primary that Biden must do more to address the humanitarian crisis in Gaza. Biden must push for a lasting ceasefire and ending US funding toward this reckless war," the Washington union said.
Democrats support a social safety net. Republicans fight against EVERY form of social(ist) support with legislation and propaganda. Let’s list the states which denied accepting federal funds to expand Medicaid… hmm… and no, it has nothing at all to do with “disabled, queer, non-white, neurodivergent or an intersection of those things” as they specifically help those people. As noted, we are comparing them to fucking republicans. What you’re saying makes almost no sense at all. Are you confusing Democrats with Republicans?
If Democrats are so supporting of social(ist) programs, why did 106 of them vote YEA in a resolution denouncing socialism and deeming US as capitalist country first and foremost? https://nebraskaexaminer.com/2023/02/02/u-s-house-agrees-on-something-lawmakers-condemn-the-horrors-of-socialism/ https://clerk.house.gov/Votes/2023106?Page=2
If democrats care so much about marginialized peoples, why are they not donating to these peoples gofundmes? Or responding to their calls for mutual aid? Because it cuts into the neoliberal commodification and privitization of public assistance.
"This “neo-liberalization of social services” transformed charity into an industry where professionalism, maintaining tax-exempt status, and uplifting the needs of corporate donors and capitalist foundations fueled the work. Now, the nonprofit system encourages social movements to follow capitalist models, is monitored and influenced by state and corporate entities, and is generally focused on employing educated workers to the helping profession rather than mass activist organizing.11 Conversely, mutual aid organizers are attuned to the needs of the collective over any other stakeholder, and the lines between those offering and receiving assistance are blurred."
Democrats are closer in class and ethics to republicans than they are to the working class. They are all friends and colleagues of each other, not sworn mortal enemies like they portray.
Its hard to differentiate Dems from Repubs since they both seem to want the working class to dissolve.
Tell me how Trump being elected will help the Palestinian cause.
Nobody thinks that.
Democrats gave a cushy border deal to Republicans knowing they’d refuse it over electoral concerns and guess what, they did. Again: either a Democrat or Republican will be elected for each seat available in the upcoming elections. How will a Republican taking office help migrants?
the link referring to the border issue is talking about biden concocting a trump era border policy in executive order style, so not about the deal he tried to make with repubs. the dems don't want more people crossing the border either.
biden cant unilaterally solve the problems of the the US but he can stop weapons and money going to a genocide.
EDIT: adding citations as to why biden is not that labor friendly:

what dog whistles? i used factually accurate information. that 260 bil is fact. it is fact that israelis are zionists, they literally call themselves that. israel is a terror state much like the US is a terror state and always has. always will be.
By the way, all this colonialism talk always irks me most cause Americans glassed and colonized my country and continue to colonize and own it, yet they feel they’re qualified to criticize others on the subject. My people were murdered, used and made out to be the enemy and we never got so much as an apology, before you guys moved on and are moralizing over there now.
so you don't want people within the imperial core to protest against the imperial core and its colonial, genocidal policies?? all your paragraph above tells me is i should be protesting against both parties more. i can personally apologize for the US actions but it wouldn't really do much. there are a lot of reparations that need to be paid by the US and that is what we are trying to do. you can't force democrats to do jack shit unless they feel they will lose their power.
Extract yourself from my Nation first before you call out others
i would if i personally could. and that is something that i advocate for. and i'm not calling out other nations that are occupied by US military/capital. i'm calling out my country and israel for conducting an ethnic cleansing.
like you put biden in your penis? just want to make sure i got that right. either way, i've already imagined it and now i have to take some psilocybin to get that out of my mind
where the country's money goes is a domestic issue. so far we have given israel over $260 billion dollars for the zionist colonial project. all that money could have been used to prevent the ageing infrastructure that is plagueing the US from crumbling. no instead we give it to a terror state to destroy someone else's infrastructure
All Biden has to do is pick up the phone, say "no more money, no more arms" and he gets everyones vote. People have been protesting this for a LONG time. Longer than since Oct 7th. They don't listen, they have actively silenced and doxxed protestors and even college students. "From the river to the sea, palestine will be free" is not allowed on college campuses. And we are living under so-called democratic president.
So Rashida says vote uncommitted, on a fucking primary, and all of a sudden, lo and behold, we are listened to.
The idea is to get Biden to stop sending all of our money and weapons over there. Painting everyone calling on Biden for a ceasefire as a fool or worse, MAGA, is simply the blue brand of MAGA.
its the real numbers from the times and temps recorded. its not so much that its continous, just that those are the available data points
friend, i appreciate you and you are absolutely right. i'm not sure if you are aware of how much the US is tied to israel. i have been learning more and more everyday. one thing that chills me is that multiple states, both red and blue, including NY and TX, have stock in israel bonds in the hundreds of millions. they have tied it to the state employment pension funds. what do you think state workers would say if their pensions just vanished into thin air because israel tanked?
i don't say this to discourage or police you but we need to have that in the periphery as we are fighting the good fight and arguing with these notions of binary choices and personal responsibility and guilt you should feel should trump win (although it wasn't likely biden was going to win anyway, "nvm that" they will say). some people have their whole futures secured by the zionist project and some of them are everyday folk and may not even know what is propping up their privilege and security.
biden absolutely has the power to stop this. could he get fucking sued to fuck all because of it, i imagine so. but the pressure is on, and felt! he has said that airdropped aid will come, and that there needs to be immediate ceasefire. i haven't read the word permanent yet but this means we know its working. we just need to crank up the heat a little more and make sure we drill this screw all the way into the stud.
i don't have high hopes on the outlook and i think dune is a good reference here since timing and all. its like when paul can't see beyond certain ridges of time in his visions. i'm not trying to say that I am psychic like that but i think collectively we all have this massive anxiety and its hard to project thought and planning into the future because there are so many bends and curves that we could take that we can't predict. anyway, i appreciate your persistence here and i pray you stay safe.
what in the racist trash is this
