Palestinian Territory - Israel continues to ignore orders from the International Court of Justice (ICJ), including the Court’s most recent ruling. This ruling requires Israel to halt its military assault on the Rafah Governorate in the southern Gaza Strip and reopen the Rafah border crossing to facilitate the movement of people and humanitarian aid. In the 48 hours that followed the ICJ’s ruling on Friday 24 May, however, Israel conducted more than 60 air raids on Rafah.
Furthermore, dozens of artillery shells and constant gunfire were fired in areas of Rafah where the Israeli military was encroaching. Israel’s ground incursion began at dawn on 7 May and has since spread to the west and central parts of the city, mostly along the border strip. It has already impacted a significant portion of the city.
Thirteen Palestinians were killed in the 48 hours following the Court’s ruling, including six members of the Qishta family, an elderly mother and three of her children—two girls and one boy —and an adult son and his two children. The victims were killed when Israeli planes bombed their home on Saturday 25 May in Khirbet Al-Adas, north of Rafah, an area not included in the Israeli evacuation orders.
Making a point is what the primary is for.
The point that was made was they’ll declare it over after the first handful of states, and if you keep voting progressive early, they’ll take your delegates away.
A couple years ago the DNCs lawyers made another point to a judge:
Tell me again why anyone cares about the primary?
2020 we said it could pull Biden to the left. It did till the election, January wasn’t even over before he said he couldn’t change any Dem senator’s mind so it would be a waste of time to try for anything.
So while letting the primary run to the convention would help the party’s choice in the general, they’re not prepared to take the risk of their pick losing and having to nominate against the primary result.
So please, let me know there’s so magical way primary votes matter.
And what the ones of us in the 45 states that don’t vote till long after the DNC declared a victory can do?
Hell, my ballot literally didn’t even have a “undecided” option. There was one circle next to Biden’s name and that was fucking it.
And why do you think non voting makes a difference in your favor? There is no progressive party. There is a conservative party and a REGRESSIVE party. You think hitting the gas pedal on reverse is going to help the situation? You’re being a clown. You deserve what you’re voting for.
