    And in America’s next election, we get to pick between a guy who has spent 50 years saying nothing will change his unwavering loyalty to Israel and has been calling himself a Zionist …

    Or a crazy criminal that will support Israel just as hard because Palestinians are just a shade more brown and his daughter he wants to fuck asked him too.

    There’s literally zero option for an American who doesn’t want to support one of the worst genocides in modern history.

    Because even the lesser evil will go around Congress to “sell” the weapons used to do this, for our own taxpayers money he just gave them.

    And before anyone says it’ll stimulate the economy, it would even more if we spent it on social programs, with the added benefit of not funding a genocide.

      And you just discovered the simple fact that you don’t really have democracy in the US, or at least not a healthy one. How a two-parties political system is called democracy boggles my mind.

      Stimulating the economy is a nebulous pie in the sky. Does stimulating the economy improve the lives of everyday people? Not really.

      Cheap public transportation would be good for the people, but everyone buying a new EV would “stimulate the economy.” How much is it going to take before people understand that their wellbeing is, at best, only weakly tied to the economy?
