When he launched his campaign last week for a Massachusetts U.S. Senate seat, Representative Seth Moulton made sure that one of his first moves was to announce that he is returning campaign donations that he received from individuals affiliated with the American Israel Public Affairs Committee, and would no longer accept campaign support from the group. Also last week, popular podcast hosts Jennifer Welch and Angie Sullivan pressed Senator Cory Booker to answer whether he considered Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu a war criminal; The Ringer’s Van Lathan told Governor Gavin Newsom that Lathan would not support a 2028 candidate who took money from AIPAC, resulting in the governor literally squirming and using the word “interesting” repeatedly; radio host Charlamagne tha God asked Governor Josh Shapiro if AIPAC donations improperly influence U.S. decisions on Israeli-Palestinian issues; and MSNBC’s Eugene Daniels asked Kamala Harris if Israel’s actions over the last two years constitute genocide.
All you’re doing is saying “I don’t care if you start doing the right thing.”
If you give them nothing to value from changing then they won’t. Congrats on the own goal.
fuck off liberal
How mature. Great rebuttal.
Harris or Clinton would have not been the lesser of two evils they’d have been great presidents.
Yeah, they would have given lip service to fighting fascism while laying the groundwork for continuing the march to the right as soon as they left office. Way better.
It’s funny that we’re living what we’re living and people still think this.
This is the conclusion that a material analysis of the world reveals. Democrats and Republicans are two sides of the same coin, and that coin is owned by capitalists. Republicans exist to do whatever terrible shit capitalists want to do, and Democrats exist to pull the Overton window to the right so that the capitalists can do whatever terrible shit they want to do.
One makes the country better and the other one tears it down.
We’re twenty three days into a government shut down right now with massive layoffs happening.
Oh ok, so the Democrats are doing everything they possibly can to fight fascism? No, they’re mostly just sitting around complaining how their hands are tied and they can’t do anything. We’d all be in the streets with guns right now if we had a leadership that actually cared about fighting fascism.
They’re doing more then the progressives but that’s admittedly a very low bar.
I’m describing exactly what Biden did, so I have a pretty good reason to believe this.
It’s called listening to the right wing propaganda without a single critical thought.
Yeah, you’re right. Biden absolutely prevented a second trump term. He wasn’t just keeping the seat warm, he actually made some very effective changes that totally worked. How could I fall for such blatant right wing propanda?
American voters voted Trump in.
Biden was probably the best or the second best president since Carter but people chose to believe he did nothing because they ignored everything he did.
