    What Israel is doing is horrible. Don’t get me wrong.

    Biden inherited a long-standing strategic alliance which was not ideal.

        Ok ok. But in a few months time the realistic choice (unless trump goes to prison and is disqualified) is Biden vs Trump and I don’t think there’s any choice there whatsoever.

            Trump isn’t even a valid option unless a person is genuinely fucked in the head, which it appear that 40% of the US are.

              Yeah if you have a fucked-in-the-head constituency of 40%, I think it’s time to start fresh. Especially if you fuckers try to make fucked-in-the-head politics the global norm. Death to America, unironically.

                The rightwing media is completely out of control and has been getting worse for decades. Without them (and their dark money paymasters) fuelling the descent into fuckwitism, the US would be in much better shape to help everyone.

          Which is why people shouldn’t vote. Don’t participate in a sham vote, don’t vote for genocidal maniacs.

            No you should vote, but you should also engage in civil disobedience, and at some point uncivil disobedience.

              I disagree. There is 0 incentive for the democratic party to not fudge primaries/caucuses in order to run hawks like Clinton or Biden if all they have to be is slightly less fascist than Trump in order to still be voted in. If the last week have shown anything its that it wasnt the marches with literally hundrerds of thousands in attendance, but people threatening to withhold their vote, that got the upper echelons of the party sweating. But people have to be prepared to make good on their threats if they want to be taken seriously.

      Biden helped build that alliance for over 37 years now, thats how old that clip is. And he explicitly says that they would have to “invent an israel if it didn’t exist”. This man is not in some moral quandary, this is what he wants, what he wanted for a long time.
