Biden is the most progressive genocide financier and strike breaker we’ve ever elected! Im so energized to go to the polls again, happy days.
What disgusting people those ‘settelers’ are.
The only thing lobbists like more than someone they already bribed and have on speed dail is someone who too old to realize they’re being conned.
They’re there to sheepdog the voters into believing progressive candidates a valued part of the democratic party despite the fact that more than most of the good things progressives have accomplished are entirely outside of the chambers of congress. The democrats refuse to work with progressives unless they are forced too, like that time the progressives asked Pelosi to consider stock trading bans and she denied them until it was clear that was horrible PR, then decided to come around to vocally supporting it later, once the political will to pass the bill was dying down. Progressives are there for show.
Every iteration of gun control, with few exceptions, carves out exceptions for LEOs and Military. If you want this to stop a good start would be making these guys have to follow the laws the rest of us do, because if you campaign for more of the same from your lawmakers, I guarantee there will still be exceptions for the people who protect the rich.
Glad even the title is questions their status as ‘moderates’ because I really don’t think those exist anymore in the republican party. If you really want to find a moderate conservative, you can find plenty in the democratic party.
Pro Isreal astro turfing was the original troll farm the JIDL has been doing this for ages.
“When I came to this bureau … I knew it was not without its moral complexity and moral compromises, and I made myself a promise that I would stay for as long as I felt … the harm I might do could be outweighed by the good I could do,” Paul wrote on LinkedIn. “In my 11 years I have made more moral compromises than I can recall, each heavily, but each with my promise to myself in mind, and intact. I am leaving today because I believe that in our current course with regards to the continued – indeed, expanded and expedited – provision of lethal arms to Israel – I have reached the end of that bargain.”
Gutty. Well thanks for trying to change things from the inside, it’s a shame things are set up the way they are. Not to mention having the strength to stick to your morals and leave when you realize there’s no more good you can do.
As far as I’m concerned any soldier who operates with the IDF forces right now can fucking stay there. I don’t want to let ethnic cleansers back into the country and you shouldn’t either. Soldiers have not only a right but a duty to not to follow orders that would classify as a war crime, claiming orders came from a superior does not legally vacate you from responsibility for the action, and the full weight of the consequences will go to you.
Defeated and hopeless mostly. Almost the same as I felt funding the war in the middle east after looking at the casualties and reading testimonies from US soldiers. It’s long weighed heavily on me that half of every dollar I’m required to pay to the government is used to kill people who have nothing to do with me, especially as someone whose worked since he was 16. The war in the middle east was met with the largest protests in US history at the time and nothing changed. We then elected a democrat who was given a noble peace prize, he kept the war going and killed many civilians with drone strikes. I don’t even own a house and the rate at which my savings are stacking up, there’s not much I can even afford to do. Welcome to the machine.
