He'll never do it. Neither will Kamala. They get too much money from the Israeli lobby.

lol @ America. Democracy? No. We let corporations and foreign leaders buy our elections.

But also: Democrats: “we need to save amerikkka 😭😭😭”

[–] GuyDudeman@lemmy.world 11 points 1 month ago

Yeah, we’re constantly on the edge of allowing this place to fall into full on fascist dictatorship. It fucking sucks.

Laugh all you want. At least you live in a place where your government is not constantly teetering on the edge.

Have they been supported by AIPAC? Surely, but them personally getting a check from a foreign lobby that is mysteriously allowed to exist in US politics is not a good explanation for what is going on. Israel serves a purpose extending America's power in the Middle East and terrorizing its rivals. If Israel was against America's interests in the region, AIPAC wouldn't exist and America's lavish cooperation with Israel would not be happening.

True. It’s all related to capitalism. But the campaign money is the real thing that keeps politicians (some of whom actually do care about doing the right thing), from doing the right thing.

Do it on the way out the door erase all the senile old fuck news with ' I know I'm not supposed to say this but seriously fuck Israel' Biden said WHAT news

Not sure why lemmy liberals are assuming Harris and Biden are secretly against Israel, it's going to be a big disappointment for you all if the Democrats win again and nothing changes.

When you're voting in a one-party system with two right wings, nothing changing is the expected outsome.

It's called Stockholm Syndrome: people without options often end up genuinelly believing that the guy who tortures them only twice a week rather than daily is "deep down a good guy" and even "is our friend".

Biden is at the vanguard of this genocide and Kamala is at his side.

[–] Not_mikey@slrpnk.net 39 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Can't wait to see the media/israel try and label her an anti-semite.

[–] whoisearth@lemmy.ca 28 points 1 month ago

That asshat Netanyahu already condemned the UN as, and I'm paraphrasing "full of anti-Semites"

Seriously there is rot in the Israeli government and it is making Jews around the world more hated and less safe.

[–] Aceticon@lemmy.world 35 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Yeah, but unlike Biden who is a Fascist-just-not-at-home-(yet), she's an actual Leftie, which comes with the whole "Nobody deserves to be murdered because of their race (even if they're non-White Muslims and the killers are White Jews)" mindset.

How is Mexico more progressive than the democratic nominee?

I thought Mexico was full of rapists that they’re sending over the border? Isn’t that why Kamala adopted Trump’s Hitlerian border policy?

There’s something fishy in the air…. Smells of Nazis….

She's jewish.

Jews are especially pissed at Israel right now. We were raised learning about the horrors of genocide, and told "never again". Anyone who takes that phrase seriously must speak out against the Genocide being committed in Gaza.

At a certain point you gotta stop voting for the 'good cop' part of the ratchet effect.

[–] Crikeste@lemm.ee 2 points 1 month ago

At a certain point, you gotta get a gun. 🫡
