For the second time in the less than four months, the US Senate has resoundingly voted in support of continuing the genocide in Gaza by rejecting two resolutions aimed at blocking some $9 billion in weapons to the Israeli government.

    If I have to vote for mid term, likely third party. Then Democrats have that Pikachu face. They have been compromised

    WHY is it so fucking hard for them to take a hard line against genocide?? What the fuck. I feel like I’m going crazy watching this.

      That’s exactly it. I just don’t get it. Seems like a no-brainer to me, but apparently I’m wrong.

      I guess it’s about money? Or they still think that being against genocide will lose them votes in the future? Or something.

        No, its profit. They’re making big bucks on the weapon sales.

        Over half of the US population is opposed to sending weapons to the Zionists.

      I am old enough to remember 9/11. The only reason I can think of is that the US wants Muslims to die and they don’t care who does it.

      But alienating our base so that we can lose elections to MAGA republicans is perfectly OK.

      Obviously, the problem is with the voters, not us, say the Democrats.

      It is a coldly political calculation. The Dems are afraid that if they refuse to facililitate Israeli genocide, then American Jews won’t vote for them. At the same time, MAGA Nazis will step right up and pledge to kill every Muslim in the Middle East, and sweep up every vote.

      The Dems can’t afford to lose a fairly monolithic voting block.

    Our government is full of geriatric fucks who are on the wrong side of history. Plus some younger ones on the wrong side. Basically none of them represent the will of the majority of young people. But it’s fine, whatever, fuck it.

    A correct headline: most of the Democrats and all of the Republicans supported the genocide.

      Even more correct: most of the US government supports genocide, and don’t care that their constituents don’t.

    In his speech, Sanders, an agent of US imperialism, observed that the US ruling class’ open support for war crimes in Gaza undercuts attempts by Washington to advance “human rights” arguments to justify US interventions and military actions around the world.

    Does anyone know why this site refers to Senator Sanders as an “agent of US imperialism”?

    This is very strange and makes it difficult to take this article seriously - which is a shame given the ongoing genocide.

    “Democrats are completely different than Republicans, they want to help people! Anyone saying otherwise supports Trump and is a useful idiot!”

    Adding this to the list of things Democrats and Republicans agree on, in 2025.

    Do you think Jeffrey Epstein was the first or the only guy blackmailing politicians and officials for Mossad?
