During negotiations with the DNC and the Harris campaign, we were repeatedly told by interlocutors that Harris couldn’t meet any of our basic requests (a policy shift from Biden, a Palestinian speaker at the DNC, a statement distinguishing herself from Trump on Israel, or even a meeting with Michigan families who lost loved ones to Israeli bombs) because of AIPAC-aligned politicians like Fetterman, who might take to TV, rile up suburban white and Jewish voters, and fracture the party’s coalition in a swing state.
That political calculus alienated a key voting bloc, although likely not large enough to have shifted the ultimate election outcomes, that should be part of a durable Democratic majority. But few will ever be held accountable for that choice.
A Fetterman staffer condemning Uncommitted for not advocating for Palestinians ‘the right way’ is like an arsonist scolding the fire department for using the wrong hose.
What control does the vice president have on spending by the military?
I eagerly await your comment.
Executive branch is the one that declares war. They could of put a stop to the arms policy but didn’t. Useless democrat simp, blaming voters instead of awful policy from politicians.
congress has the power to declare war
Right, and they didn’t. The executive branch has been rogue since 9/11.
All of our “wars” are just “special military operations” without congressional approval. The executive branch just goes around congress.
Given Biden’s proven medical incompetence, likely total. ‘Biden’ provided funding to Israel without congressional approval multiple times.
Lmao, what a complete non answer.
It’s a complete answer, it’s not the one you tried to bait out, but it’s a complete answer and it’s correct. You can be mad at yourself for not laying a good enough trap to get what you want, or simply for trying to defend one of the worst human beings in one of the worst political parties in the world; but you can’t be mad at getting a correct answer.
I dont accept right-wing propaganda as an answer.
Just tell me you dont understand what the office of vice president does and move on. Geez.
I’m sorry you think reality in this case is right wing or propaganda. I hope you get better soon. Being a simp for a dead right wing party that has only realistically caused mass suffering is a terrible thing.
