You don’t think electing a guy who spent 50 years saying literally nothing would ever stop or even reduce his support of Israel has anything to do with Israel no longer listening to America?
Like, you know pretty much every modern president has been in this situation?
When it was Obama, he drew a hard-line and said if Israel didn’t ease back he’d cut them off. Biden was pissed and publicly disagreed with him
But Israel backed down.
It’s been happening all the way back to Reagan.
Biden is the only president Israel won’t listen to, because Biden has spent a literal lifetime telling them they can do anything they want.
Can you not connect two steps of logic?
Did you think people honestly meant Biden was running around like Rambo committing war crimes?
While he obviously didn’t decide on the strategy of genocide being pursued by the Israeli state, it is very disingenuous to say he hasn’t provided important political, economic, and material support for Israel. It has been rough watching America from next door. I have always understood that MAGA is unable to confront the reality of Trumps profound insuitability for public office, or general public interaction. It’s rough seeing that there is a similar level of intentional blindness on the other side as well. It may well be that voting for Biden is a grim necessity to slow the descent into dictatorship, but honestly, pretending his role as an enabler for genocide isn’t obvious, is pretty foolish.

FDR was not a socialist and the New Deal was a compromise from the existing capitalist power structure in order to harness and then diffuse the growing socialist energy in the country. It’s a huge reason the New Deal focused so much on highway expansion instead of public transportation.

The problem isn’t “people think something else is important” — it’s mostly that nobody hears about the big issue in the first place because the press is covering other issues.
Let’s be very clear about what’s happening here. They don’t want to run a public school, so they ran it into the ground. Now they get to run indoctrination camps and get kickbacks for doing so.
