    They know which way the wind is blowing. Most Americans are too obsessed with themselves to care about society. So, the opposition party is meaningless.

    Condemned antisemitism in the wake of a the Boulder, Colorado attack and expressed gratitude to all law enforcement, including ICE (explicitly).

    Im guessing many of them were indifferent about the verbiage singling ICE or they didn't want to be against the condemnation and gratitude in spite of it.

    Of the 212 Democrats in the House, 113 voted against the resolution

    Oh give it a rest. More than half of the Democrats voted against it. Not a single republican voted no.

    Nope, they are precisely, exactly, to the 5th significant digit, the same.

    Honestly though, it was a trap. Vote yes and you're thanking ice, vote no and you are worse than Hitler. There should have been more abstention votes.

    I assume the first sentence was sarcasm, but yeah, this is one of those pure-politics votes that are only meant to injure Democratic candidates by ensuring either the "left" or "centrist" parts of the party are angry at the result.

    These people are pretty much all from universally purple swing districts and made a political calculation on a purely political vote.

    By talking about this, and getting pissed off, we're playing to the GOP's tune.

    Aaannd...

    This is exactly why we are on our own. MAGAts are out to kill us/rob us, Dems are cowards that are more than happy to let us twist in the wind for whatever perceived benefit. A third party has basically no shot in our current system.

    We are screwed.

    In case you want to know if you need to start backing a local primary challenger:

    Based on GovTrack, which documents Congress' legislative activities, the following 75 Democrats voted in favor of the first resolution expressing "gratitude" to ICE:

    Adams, Alma (NC-12) Auchincloss, Jake (MA-4) Beatty, Joyce (OH-3) Bell, Wesley (MO-1) Bishop, Sanford (GA-2) Brown, Shontel (OH-11) Budzinski, Nicole (Nikki) (IL-13) Bynum, Janelle (OR-5) Cherfilus-McCormick, Sheila (FL-20) Cohen, Steve (TN-9) Courtney, Joe (CT-2) Craig, Angie (MN-2) Cuellar, Henry (TX-28) Davids, Sharice (KS-3) Davis, Donald (NC-1) Elfreth, Sarah (MD-3) Frankel, Lois (FL-22) Gillen, Laura (NY-4) Gluesenkamp Perez, Marie (WA-3) Golden, Jared (ME-2) Gonzalez, Vicente (TX-34) Goodlander, Maggie (NH-2) Gray, Adam (CA-13) Harder, Josh (CA-9) Hayes, Jahana (CT-5) Horsford, Steven (NV-4) Hoyer, Steny (MD-5) Kaptur, Marcy (OH-9) Keating, William R.

    As someone who has lived in the US (and travelled extensively), but is not a US citizen, this is the kind of stuff that makes me believe that sane Americans are unfortunately incapable of getting their country back from the oligarchs and the racists.

    If the Democrats were not corrupt and had balls (no sexism intended), they would be openly supporting the LA protests and trying to establish a Trump free zone in LA were Trump shills and lackeys would be interned and Trump "laws" would not be followed.

    Unfortunately, most Americans are only good at talking about freedoms and most are too lazy and corrupt to actually follow through.

    Oh wow it's like what both Malcolm X and Martin Luther King criticized about the "liberal" party members being a bunch of frauds is still the same 6 decades later.

    Shocked I tell you shocked.

    People are still assuring me Gaza would also have been magically saved if we had successfully voted in Harris.

    Yeah, trump is doing so much better than Harris ever would have! Remember when she said she was going to destroy the entirety of it's people and open a golf resort with her name on the ashes! So glad trump is not doing that!

    Glad you kept your morals! Hope sacrificing the Palestinians was worth it! So glad they can die so you can hold your nose firmly up in the air. Keep telling yourself you did the right thing by allowing trump to take office.

    You're such a good person!

    There really is no difference for Gaza between a Trump or Kamala presidency. Genocide is genocide regardless if it's fast or slow. The only real difference is now things are shitty in the US too instead of just Gaza

    People who wanted kids to run would've just kept voting Biden or Kamala. They were killing plenty of them. Don't think Trump has even reached those numbers yet, although in his defense, he hasn't been in office as long.

    I voted Kamala, but I still understood why people didn't. I saw it coming a mile away, while people like you plugged your ears and would rather ignore it. I was trying to save her campaign.

    It wouldn't have but we wouldn't be getting plans to build a trump tower in its place because it's prime beach real estate

    Yes, the real problem here is the real estate development and not the deaths of millions of people.

    But when you're fueled by greed and you don't care about human lives and your only concern is to have more money and property...

    Because that's the goal here... They don't give a shit about others especially when they are not white... Well rich... But you get it...

    https://time.com/7212848/trump-gaza-own/

    So yes it's about killing people to steal their land... Sound familiar? It's just as important to understand the end goal...

    Yes I'm well aware of these things. My point was that it's a little silly to believe Harris would have been better purely on the basis that she wouldn't develop the land for personal profit after helping facilitate the complete eradication of a people.

    I don't think that's what you personally believe, but it was not super clear from your original comment.
