    Gaza humanitarian situation

    Netanyahu could look directly into the camera and say “I am committing a genocide in Gaza” and they would still refuse to call it a genocide.

    Didn’t Eli Valley predict this exactly? Like, as soon as Trump won, Democrats would “bravely” stand up and declare that genocide is wrong.

    They are beginning the “face turn” for Gaza just like they did for Iraq. They fully support and do everything to paint the protesters and anyone against the wars/invasions as “extremists” or doing the bidding of another nation. But the moment that they take a large enough L, they start loudly acting like it is they who have been on the “front lines” fighting against the shit they helped spread. They will go for the cheap “pops” and use the language of leftists and the people that have been actually in the shit. Just like they did with civil rights and women’s rights by painting those brave souls as libs/centrists and remove all leftist bits out.

    I am almost convinced that the Dems actually wanted to lose badly. As they tend to get more blind voter support while playing the “underdog” role. But the moment they get control again, we only hear about how they “can’t do x because bipartisanship (or whatever fake reasons).”

          Yeah but she gave Biden a free pass until today. She was one of the many who fell in line behind Biden, terrified that any critisicm no matter how deserved would help Trump. Finally critisizing someone in here sphere of influence for a change.

          Blocking F-15 aircraft is not the same thing as blocking arms sales.

            Are fighter jets not “arms”? They were just the next arms transfer being talked about at the time.

        Which if she really cared about anything. She should actually know for decades that compromising to the right only helps the right (and plays well for the hard-line centrists that love speeches and photo ops but don’t want to do real work). She hasn’t realized anything, and is just prepping for pretending to have “always fought for (insert major cause).”

      It isn’t working, we are just seeing fake stances on shit that she and all the Dems were tripping over themselves to create from the jump. Fuck her and all the Dems! Don’t let them ever convince you or anyone that they are to be trusted any more than the Repubs. If the Dems did win big at all levels, they would just keep sending weapons and military aid (just like they have been).

    None of this would have happened if you people voted in Kanye. Dude hated both Net AND Yoohoo. Literally twice as nice.
