    Bernie the sheep dog is not the way forward.
    Can’t even bring himself to say the world genocide.
    That horrible regime party can’t be fixed.
    As long as Americans don’t vote 3rd party they get what they deserve.

      As long as you hyperfixate on a single issue that’s over there, it’ll be hard to win over here.

        It is only genocide, no biggie. It is not like Palestinians are people.

        Just remember this the next time you wonder why certain demographics don’t want to vote Democratic anymore. Someone’s single issue is another’s family and friends.

        By your logic why “hyperfixate” on anything? The environment, democracy, human rights and so on, are each a single issue. By the looks of it [some in] the Democratic Party aren’t stopping at abandoning Palestinians either: Gavin Newsom breaks with Democrats on trans athletes in sports. “It is a single issue, don’t hyperfixate on it”, will be the rallying cry in 2028 I’m sure.

          The USAID that used to feed Gaza is gone, nothing is coming into replace it. People are going to starve to death. Not that you cared about that. Doesn’t run with your narrative. Just like hamas stealing the USAID to sell back to starving palestinians. Doesn’t fit the narrative.

          If you understood how government worked and cared about palestine you’d be VOTING for a senator and house rep who will defund isreal. But noooooo lets not have any strategic goals in mind when elections come around. Lets virtue signal and seethe and concrete the genocide you’re screetching about.

            Israel is intentionally blocking aid into Gaza. Hamas has nothing to do with it. The termination of USAID also has nothing to do with it. Aid trucks are stuck at the border not allowed in.

            FYI I voted for Jill Stein. No Democrat, at least on my ballot was going to defund Israel.

            Edit: I missed adding that the Biden administration already cut funding to the UNRWA, so starving Palestinians is bipartisan:

              Oh. You voted for a different Putin puppet whose party has made no attempt to run a real campaign in the US and clearly (and vocally) had no intent on winning. Very helpful.

                A few things:

                1. Neither major party was opposed to the genocide or had any intention of stopping it.
                2. You could add all third-party votes, not just Stein’s, and Harris would still lose to Trump. That is if you assume that Kennedy and Oliver too stole votes from Harris.
                3. Criticizing an Arab for voting for a Jew is peak antisemitism.
                4. Anyone I don’t like is a Putin puppet. Harris is also a Putin puppet. How else would you explain her purposefully choosing to throw away the election?

                  Know how I can tell that you are not communicating in good faith? Take a guess.

                  Would you care to explain how Stein’s religion, which I neither know about nor care about, is at all relevant? Or how disliking her as a politician, as well as human being, for her links to oligarchs and consistent lack of plausible effort to improve the US through political means has anything to do with what you suggest her religion is? Because claiming that involvement in that shit is stems from judaism seems pretty damn antisemitic of yourself (none of my hebros are inclined to associate with authoritarian dictators and I’d wager that they do more to affect positive change in their communities than she has in her lifetime).

                  Now, maybe you made some incorrect assumptions in a heated context. You can feel free to own up to that, if it is the case.

              The president does not authorize spending. He just executes the spending. Congress has power of purse, they are the only ones that can cut funding for Isreal. Which i fully support. I would be happy to cut aid to isreal and increase aid to palestine. Happy to help protect palestinian land from Isreali encroachment. I am an ally you are alienating with your harsh views. We probably agree on a lot of things that would benefit palestine. I think without a practical method to acheive them you will never see your goals fullfilled politically.

              Mostly because you voted third party for president not knowing that you meant to vote for congress.

        It’s not a single issue, he is also a warmonger and cheerleader for all the US wars among other things.
        Or do you mean everyone should just ignore al that inconvenient horrible stuff bcs that’s somewhere else and doesn’t affect them personally?
        The true lib way.
