Bro you understand Biden isn’t president of Israel right? This tired ass take that he somehow sets policy there shows how immature and uninformed you are.
I really do wonder how old the person you’re commenting to is. It’s very easy to be idealistic when you’re young and lack experience. Eventually you learn that you’re basically the same as the Freedom Caucus of the left if you’re acting that way, refusing to compromise and make any positive changes whatsoever.
Old enough to have already gone through this exact song and dance routine before with Obama. “We just need to wait until the primaries to nominate a progressive, then we can finally move this Party to the left!” I saw how that turned out. The Party won’t allow it.
Yet even still, I voted for Biden to stop fascism.
And now he’s funding a genocide.
Idealism is voting blue no matter who and expecting them to stop taking advantage of you. Why should they? You are a loyal dog and will keep coming home no matter how hard they beat you.
I just want this one thing. My red line. I’ll let Biden break strikes and deport refugees and round people into prisons and expand oil drilling, I’ll let him do every fucking thing he promised he wouldn’t, and all he has to do is oppose genocide. It’s entirely within his power to do this.
This is the only leverage I have. I have a moral obligation to use it and so do you. By voting for genocide you are responsible for it.
Israel is the 51st state. This idea that Israel is a strong independent state that doesn’t need the empire is a joke, they’re wholly dependent on the US. When Reagan told Israel to back off of attacking the PLO in Lebanon, they did. Israel’s power comes from its untouchable status.
Okay, what? That’s doesn’t make it not a democracy. America is and was a Democracy and only white men land owners could vote for like a century. You don’t like its domestic policy so the entire field of political science is wrong, and it’s not a democracy? Wow you have such big brain.
Then say flawed democracy instead of trying to hold it up like some beacon of hope. It’s not. It’s a trash country run by trash people just like the United States.
Okay well in the entirety of the middle east it is the only country that governs by even a pretense of consent of the people. Every other state in the region is some form of authoritarian theocracy, not even close to democracy. Only the former has any hope of granting long term human rights.

And it gets that status because it’s the only democracy in the middleeast and surrounded by enemies.
“democracy”
Why are you putting in quotes? It’s uncontroversially defined as a “flawed democracy” by political science, same as the United States.
it’s not a democracy at all. it systematically disenfranchises the Palestinian people in its borders.
Okay, what? That’s doesn’t make it not a democracy. America is and was a Democracy and only white men land owners could vote for like a century. You don’t like its domestic policy so the entire field of political science is wrong, and it’s not a democracy? Wow you have such big brain.
america is a racist oligarchy, too.
Also incorrect, by the science.
a democracy lets the demos rule. systematically excluding the demos from participation disqualifies you as a democracy. qed.

Yes it’s considered a “flawed democracy.”
Then say flawed democracy instead of trying to hold it up like some beacon of hope. It’s not. It’s a trash country run by trash people just like the United States.
Okay well in the entirety of the middle east it is the only country that governs by even a pretense of consent of the people. Every other state in the region is some form of authoritarian theocracy, not even close to democracy. Only the former has any hope of granting long term human rights.
none of those states are legitimate, including Israel.
