    Absolute dumbass students getting tricked by foreign propoganda.

    Joe Biden is not president of Israel. ✅

    Isreal has all the bombs it needs to annihilate Gaza and the West Bank without any US aid. ✅

      And the American congress has done nothing to stop the flow of weapons to Israel. There is no one in charge trying to stop the genocide

        The global politics of the situation won’t allow any significant reduction as Iran and others will take it as an invitation to increase their aggression which is viewed as a worse long term outcome for the region by the state department. Short of revolution in Iran I don’t see their calculation on that changing anytime soon.

        It would be a derilection of office for Congress to voluntarily weaken Israel. It has nothing to do with Gaza. Our alliance is about Iran. Our alliance keeps peace and stability that protects tens of millions of lives. Imagine how sads you’d be from an Iran Israel war in which 30,000 people are dying every day, or much, much worse.

      Bankrolling a genocide is the next worst thing you can do after actually executing one.

      Look, as someone stuck with a corporate, colonialist, party, and a straight fascist/theocratic party, I feel fucked. However, everything I am mad bad will only be worse not voting for Joe. The DNC has spent decades., and untold amounts of money, supporting more, and more, radical republican candidates so that they can hold us in this exact position. The only way I see out of this is from the ground up. Last year I joined a local political group that works to inform people on a variety of ways to break the two party system. It’s the last play before the diplomatic impasse is so adamant that nothing short of violence will change anything. I found it surprisingly easy to find organizations working for a variety of voting reforms I can get behind in my state simply by searching “voting reform advocacy groups in (my state)”.

      You went from 3 points to -8 in like 3 hrs. But nope! No manipulation of votes going on here!!

      Pretty sure u had more when i first found this thread too, back when the few comments it had were all sane.

      • Pretty wild. I saw it at 8 at one point, and was surprised.

        I get it. People are super sad about all this death. I’m sad about it, too. But it doesn’t blind me to much more important matters. Sucks that 30,000 people is less important than containing Iran; that is entirely the fault of Iran and Hamas, though. Those bodies are on Hamas.

      Probably 10 times over too. Just agreeing that Israel needs zero help on what they are doing in Gaza.
