It helps when they are not the minority… with a 10% margin
I'll never vote blue no matter who ever again. We are living the ongoing consequences of Biden's ongoing genocide, and y'all are way too willing to shift all the blame to Trump and GOP.
I'm certain 1 or 2 Democrats would have broken with party line to ensure it passes, we don't have 50 moral Democrats that can't be bought. They didn't need to break the illusion of being the opposition party this time.
Remember that it was under Biden that reporters were dragged out by force for asking questions about Gaza.
"I didn't like getting a paper cut, never doing that again, I'd rather get stabbed with a rusty sword next time."
First they came for the Palestinians in Gaza And I did not speak out Because I was not a Palestinian in Gaza
Is that clear enough yet? I've watched Americans dismiss the slaughter of our children as a papercut and describe the infinitely preferable (compared to your children being literally shredded to pieced daily, or a paper cut in your words) future of Americans who refused to vote for a viable candidate as being stabbed with a rusty sword.
And you expect us to be there for you when you're the last one left? Fuck you. You described an active Genocide as a paper cut, and the self-destruction of the American empire and the upcoming recession due partly because they got rid of cheap exploitative labor as a stab with a rusty sword. You lack historic perspective, empathy, morals, and certainly class consciousness.
The Democrats are not your friends, do you forget that Debbie W Schultz rejected our demand for Bernie and have us Hillary? That's how we got Trump the first time, and what did the Democrats do? They blamed us, the voters. You forget Hillary's contempt for Bernie voters and how she described him as an infiltrator?
America ruining itself is going to save millions of lives and give many counties the chance to recover from exploitation. You're just being a selfish fuck who's upset now that consequences are home.
Israel were illegally seizing Palestinian land by force under 45. And Obama. And Bush. In fact pretty much as a matter of ongoing policy going back to 1948. Saying that it's still "Biden's ongoing genocide" isn't fair or reasonable when Trump is posting AI videos of himself and Netanyahu enjoying his new casino on the Gaza strip.
Oh no not AI videos! The horror. Bring back the 2,000lbs bombs on tent encampments and leaving babies to starve to death in hospitals, bring back white phosphorus on civilians, bring back normalizing dead baby pieces hanging from the rubble. But not AI videos!!!
Biden is our Hitler, and our history books will reflect that. You're correct, the Gaza genocide is just one small chapter in the history of England and then the US colonizing Palestine.
Be consistent, if you're able to credit him for the good things he did instead of saying he's just building on what Trump left him, you should be able to recognize that he could have ended this genocide but refused.
Even if Trump was a good president/person and wanted to end it, there's nothing left of Gaza for the remaining population. Biden already wiped it out.
I am not saying Democrats are good (or not corrupted)… but blaming democrats for what Republicans are doing is apologetic to republicans
“They would have done x if they were the majority “ is just your speculation. The reality is that the US voted this… and it’s getting this
What did I blame the Democrats for what the Republicans are doing?
Are you denying that Biden enthusiastically and fully backed the genocide?
If so, I see no point in arguing with you anymore, you're clearly still in the American politics cult. Democrats are not your friends, they just give you the illusion of someone fighting on your behalf. They are complicit in every major shift the country took to the right.
Dude I am not even from US.
Not my circus not my monkeys.
But your arguments are flawed
If my argument is flawed, you should be able to point out the flaws.
They have the filibuster. The thing they refused to get rid of to allow them to do good things.
Can't filibuster a budget reconciliation bill. How many times do we have to go through this before people understand that?
Yup. The Republicans had a similar minority when they successfully gutted Obamacare to where it went from single payer to basically a website.
