Hell, I'm still imagining a world where we had Gore instead of Junior.

It's a bad play I think if that's their plan. It shows that criticizing Israel is fair game, which has pretty much been against everything said in the past. It's an admission that they think that what Israel is doing is wrong. You can't put that back. AIPAC would not be in favor of this. If this is just appeasement, it's at least appeasement that can be pointed at to show what's wrong.

They may think of it like appeasement

But this is only the beginning of the anti-zionist snowball

Putin has been donating to that first issue for a while now.

I don't think Xi Jinping loves when Trump puts 1quadrillion% tariffs on China.

It would obviously be a net good for global society if the US federal government stopped functioning; if the government continues pursuing its current interests that will never happen, yet if foreign lobbyists whose interests are fundamentally enemical to the US (such as China, but not Israel, which is just an appendage of the US) can influence the US federal government it may happen. At least that seems more proximal than the US working class suddenly gaining the kind of militant political stances and organization that would be necessary otherwise. But if both things could happen that'd be even better.

We need that ACPAC money

We are remarkably lazy, thoroughly beaten down, and a generation or two removed from an education that would have been helpful. Couple that with a people who believe the world is ending and 50 years of bad leadership.

I'd say the majority of Americans are not yet aware that their government has changed.

And apologists wonder why we don't like the Dem neo-libs.

Israel hasn't stolen all of Lebanon yet

they knew it’s gonna pass anyway

Legislation doesn't just pass by magic. There has to be a critical point of majority support. In this case, there wasn't.

The final 47–52 tally disappointed advocates who had hoped to draw more GOP support.

This feels a bit like the Epstein stuff. Liberal politicians recognizing how ugly their primary bids could get and how dangerous the general could be for pro-Israeli candidates going into 2028 and have decided to hedge their bets.

Meanwhile Republicans seem dead set on making this a referendum on the US-Iran War, which their caucus largely supports.

I didn't disagree.

Plato's Cave became billionaires present a marionette show for the people.

And if in some miracle they do, the Parliamentarian will just stop it.

That would be sound reasoning if they ever fucking did anything like this when they had a majority

Why does your cult always put the burden on the voters and not the party to do what their constituency wants?

If they really want to oppose Israel, ask them to renounce their lobbying and kick them out instead?

"Call their bluff and make them win"

What kind of retarded strategy is this?

We've tried the trial and these morons put a conservative in charge of it because too many of them believe in working with the other side. They are complicit and deserve the same punishments as conservatives.

How will leftists vote for leftists if leftists won't run?

I've got nothing to grovel for your forgiveness for. Not sure if you're serious about the tankie meeting thing, but that's a lame-ass thing to say, and I really don't give a shit if you all decide to waste your time complaining about some random lemming who has the gall to remind you that letting republicans win to spite the democrats is fucking idiotic.

We’re waiting on every conservative democrat to apologize to us for their support of a genocide before we let the democrats hold office again.

Maybe if you would vote in the fucking primaries then you could replace more conservative democrats with progressives. Maybe if you would vote at all then democrats would court the left-wing voting bloc more instead of considering it a lost cause and courting the center/right. But abstaining from the political process and then complaining when you don't get your way and blaming everyone else is asinine.

87 million eligible voters didn't vote in 2024.

Anyone out there encouraging leftists not to vote is only helping republicans.
