It's so much more than just Israel but that's emblematic of their arrogance. They are sold out on everything, getting worse every cycle, Biden despite what he said, was further right than not only Nixon, but than George HW Bush, the first one. Just a total piece of shit, and he made his career off being a sold out piece of shit.

The mask is off, and the oligarchy doesn't think they need the left, they have nothing but contempt for them, and would rather the right win than popular reform get spearheaded by the party, on all fronts.

All as the Republicans are openly planning on fixing elections, persecuting their opponents, critics, etc. Do they not think the republicans will follow through if they win? If Dems were systematically stealing elections, they would have to be punished. That is the only silver lining here, fall of 2027 I bet indictments come down for false vote rigging allegations, in service of republicans rigging elections, and these democrats, including their front runners, will be ensnared in federal investigations.

Whoever first described the USA-Israel relationship as a “murder-suicide pact” should get a Pulitzer

how about they get a better prize... Anne Applebaum got a Pulitzer

The famed “Pulitzer Prize” is named after Joseph Pulitzer, a war-propaganda peddler who helped the US acquire its first overseas territories in the 1890s:

The Spanish-American War, what boosters called a “splendid little war,” began in 1898. … President McKinley sent a warship to Cuba as a precaution, but in February 1898 that ship, the USS Maine, blew up in Havana, killing 250 U.S. sailors. The cause of the explosion was unknown — and it would later be revealed to have been an accident — but both Hearst and Pulitzer published a cable from the captain of the battleship to the assistant secretary of the navy, Theodore Roosevelt, informing him that the disaster was no accident. (The cable was later revealed to be a fake.) [1]

Silly leftist, of course we can’t go against genocide, look how much we’re getting paid to shill for it! What’s that, why is our government blatantly run by corporate puppets? Silly you, it’s in the holy writings from the white slaveowners 200+ years ago! This is a very functional society.

Look kiddo, the reality is that ~~sometimes~~ you have to vote for genocide. Of course there are candidates that are against genocide, but the Adults in the Room^TM^ would never vote for them, and so neither should you.
