Former democratic party activists are organizing Muslims and Arab-Americans in Swing states to vote against Biden with the demand that he support a ceasefire in Gaza.

I’ll allow them a little bit of electoralism this time.

    Democrats were never the lesser evil, I’m also not American but it doesn’t even take more than a simple look to understand this

    Bush 1 Iraq war

    Clinton Yugoslavia

    Bush 2 Iraq-Afghanistan

    Obama- More Afghanistan, drone campaign, Syria etc

    Trump - Syria, almost Iran, China

    Biden - Russia, Palestine

    If you want to add Bernie - anti-Cuban statements, pro-Israel statements, pro-Ukraine statements etc. Fucking loser is just another FP ghoul too.

    Meanwhile economically and socially the US continues to deteriorate since the beginning of the current neoliberal era(late 80s-90s) as you noticed and maybe Bernie gets a honorable mention for being just a bump on the steep downhill road, nothing more.

    Heck we noticed and commented some time now since the beginning of the Ukraine war that current FP is in some ways even more deranged than even what Kissinger would do. Indeed some would even say current policy makes Kissinger look competent in comparison. That’s how bad it is. And to be honest some argument does mention that Kissinger was from an era where the US actualy somewhat respected their peer adversaries, these days its all end of history BS.

      good post, I’d also add Palestine '08 and '14 under Obama where Israel committed a lot of the same crimes as today, and Obama gave them his full unconditional support and said they have a right to defend themself.

      and maybe Bernie gets a honorable mention for being just a bump on the steep downhill road, nothing more.

      reminds me of Labour, where Corbyn was really only an a strange anomaly. Stürmer’s the real continuation of Labour - saying cutting off water, food, fuel to Gaza is cool and good (human rights lawyer btw).

      the Kissinger era ghouls seemed to have a strategy they were following. I have no clue what the US is doing now. they’re rapidly getting rid of any credibility they had, alienating allies in the area, etc. the empire is deteriorating fast.
