Democrats hate America?? I guess a broken clock is right twice a day

It isn't even accurate to call it saving Israel.

They say that when you set out for revenge to dig two graves. The genocide perpetrated by Israel has been more destructive to Israel itself morally, economically, and physically than anything their adversaries have tried to inflict.

It's not justice, though. It isn't helping any victims. It's just the wasting of more life, senselessly.

I predict that 2028 will be a repeat of 2024 since they are all bought and paid for by AIPAC

And who was that blue button for?

[–] beefnugget@lemmy.world 17 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I think the two buttons are a metaphor for two directions in the Democrats' campaign messaging 2024. The red button represents maintaining allegiance to Israel in the midst of an ongoing genocide. The blue button represents doing literally anything other than actively funding that genocide, using those billions of dollars to maybe fund healthcare, education, infrastructure, like literally anything else that would resonate with the American working class and garner more votes for the Democratic party. Just a guess tho.

Yea, that's right.

This comic is designed under a sane ethical framework, which places responsibility for the success or failure of a party on the people who actually hold power within the party. It's told from the framework of party leaders, holding them accountable for their failures. It's punching up rather than punching down. What options were available at the ballot box, as we're not talking about voters, we're talking about leaders here. Don't try and cover up for corrupt leaders by blaming the voters.

Yea, that's right. To add: the argument that focuses on voters' individual behavior ignores the system within which they make their choices i.e. gerrymandering, private political parties, FPTP, winner takes all, Citizens United, Super PACs etc. It is a very low-IQ take to place the blame solely on the voters, and those unelected, unaccountable people who design the rules of the system would like everyone to have that take.

This doesn't answer who is that Dem presidential candidate who isn't in Israel's pocket… perhaps Paperboy Love Prince?
