That’s fine, I don’t intend to back track as I learn new things. That’s part of why I’m railing on holding leaders accountable and not just happily clapping for DNC choices.

Far as I’ve been able to discern (I’m still learning geo stuff) it appears to be a patsy war between NATO and Russia. The more I see outside of US media about it, the more it’s coming across as setting up Ukraine as the eastern European Israel (with even Zelenski talking about wanting to model after Israel).

This would mirror a similar situation with the US holding on to Taiwan so severely to maintain a hold in East Asia. 💀

That said, this is all just my conjecture off of the media I come across. I’m not an expert, just a loud douche.

AOC continues to vote to send money to Israel’s ‘defense’, and you’re telling me to ignore my eyes reading their statements and instead simply nod along.

They are not immune to critique, and I’m sorry that expecting the man who ran on “I’ll arrest Netanyahu if he steps foot in NYC” running defense for Zionist land sales in his city to just do better is so damn offensive to you, man. 🤷🏽‍♂️ It isn’t a ‘purity test’ to expect them to stand on their word(s) and not attack leftist protests for the sake of optics when we’re literally dealing with gestapo in the streets.

Careful, you’ll get thrown into blame for Renee’s death next too.

I’m not telling anyone to throw in the towel, just expecting people to hold those they support accountable for being shitheads. 🤷🏽‍♂️ Criticism of the US duopoly isn’t intended as nihilism, and it sucks that people are translating it that way.

I’m saying fuck Israel because I’ve spent my entire life being propagandized that being a good person means telling horrible people to kick rocks. Mass slaughter is fucking stupid, especially justified through faith or skin tone.

I’m saying fuck Israel because my neighbors and family struggle every day to get by while my government keeps sacrificing ungodly amounts of money, weapons, and lives to keep a tiny piece of desert happy and healthy.

I am sure I could keep going, but like … There’s so many reasons to say fuck Israel that assuming it’s based out of a place of hate at this stage is madness.

Let me know if you find it, I guess. Sorry you lack the ability to see past “my team, your team”.

Hopefully Schumer and Jefferies will begin to get embarrassed at any point now, then.

Zelenski has been talking about wanting to model Ukraine after Israel so… I do kinda say fuck him, unfortunately. Hate it for Ukraine as a whole, war sucks, but Zelenski keeps digging.

Xi, I genuinely can’t manage to sort through the propaganda enough to get a read on.

But yeah, fuck the DNC and their consistent demands for American votes while consistently funding genocides and domestic unrest. Even through last year, they were still voting to fund IOF horseshit and the party leaders refuse to condemn ICE so… I’m not sure why tankies are expected to keep their mouths shut about that?

Sorry, allow me to clarify AGAIN.

I didn’t tell you not to vote. Grow up and stop taking out your frustrations on me when you apparently have a problem with all of Lemmy.

Literally no one said not to vote. You can check. Y’all have yourselves in a group think so hard that you’ve made up some shit.

I even clarified that fact. Expecting more from your government is not nihilism, and y’all assuming someone criticizing the US duopoly as being nothing but nihilism is a problem, duder.

Now that is a very crucial difference, yes. But that doesn’t mean they’re immune to criticism when they go from “I’ll arrest Netanyahu” to “Wait noooo don’t say mean words” 🤷🏽‍♂️🤘🏽

Are you off your meds, dawg? I hate the gubment and gubment accessories, everything else is noise created to keep the gubment in power.

Mamdani and AOC are actively condemning pro Palestine protestors in NYC.

Not condemning the Zionists using synagogues in NYC to host real estate sales of West Bank properties.

Not condemning the pro Zionist counter protesters flying hate flags and spewing bile.

Immediately attacking the left.

They lied to get the votes and are knee capping momentum on the people’s movements to protect genocidal warmongers.

I am deeply sorry, and I understand it’s a pain in the ass to keep being disappointed in these politicians- But I’m not the villain for expecting the DNC to do better. 🤷🏽‍♂️

Wait but some shitlib just told me it was my fault because I criticized the DNC

Don’t hold me at gunpoint about the exact numbers but like 5 mega corporations own everything in the US, so when you get down to brass tacks about corporate donors? 🫠

Buddy, expecting you to hold the people you vote for accountable has no bearing on ICE being trigger happy Nazis. 🤷🏽‍♂️

I did my due diligence and voted even though Kamala doesn’t deserve it, and not once have I said ‘don’t vote’. Sharpen your fangs somewhere else.

Sure I am, puddin.

Lol

And the DNC has learned nothing.

Schumer and Jefferies can’t even muster the bare minimum of saying that ICE needs to be removed from our streets.

Sanders is playing both sides of Venezuela AND Israel.

Pelosi has more insider trading crimes under her belt than I have ass hair.

Stop blaming your neighbors and point that indignant rage at the people playing you like a fool. Demand better than shiny turds.
