    What accountability will there be when we keep supplying the weapons against our own laws?"

    Trita Parsi, executive vice president of the Quincy Institute for Responsible Statecraft, said in response to Biden’s remarks that “if you are an American, your president not only provides Israel with the bullets that Israel uses to kill you.”

    “Not only does he not object after Israel has killed you,” he continued. “Much worse, he even comes up with insulting excuses to exonerate Israel for murdering you.”

    Will Kamala Harris be the change you want to see? I have my doubts

        I didn’t say he would. Trump is a fuckwit but Americans put him where he is today. I know you like to blame Putin for all America’s problems and yes, he is a piece of shit and I’m sure he’d love to have the influence you all ascribe to him. But it is American media and American politicians that gives hate and bullshit a platform.

        Harris is an establishment democrat, nothing will change in Gaza or Ukraine and she will continue to provoke wars and destabilisations efforts in places that won’t bend over for 'murica’s geopolitical ambitions.

        So in a couple of months Americans, who between them have some great minds and incredible talent, get to choose between a bunch of war hawks and a gibbering idiot.

        So go on, down vote me. It will make you feel better but it won’t change anything.

          uh no one does that.

          Harris is an establishment democrat, nothing will change in Gaza or Ukraine and she will continue to provoke wars and destabilisations efforts in places that won’t bend over for 'murica’s geopolitical ambitions.

          when have democrats recently provoked any wars or destabilization? Last time that happened was under Trump in Venezuela.

          So in a couple of months Americans, who between them have some great minds and incredible talent, get to choose between a bunch of war hawks and a gibbering idiot.

          correction: “a bunch of milquetoast diplomats” and “a gibbering idiot warhawk who is an even bigger zionist fanatic than the milquetoasts”.

          So go on, down vote me. It will make you feel better but it won’t change anything.

          thank you sir/maam for the constructive criticism.

      Americans have been brainwashed into believing they can only achieve political change by voting for one of two candidates

        brainwashing has nothing to do with it, it’s a natural byproduct of our political system, voting system, and game theory.

          thanks for making my point for me! It’s totally understandable, you’ve been subjected to that propaganda for your whole life, but it’s completely untrue.
