    establishment Democrats scratch their heads

    Maybe there’s a lesson to be learned here in time for the next big elections, right? Right?!

        Yeah. *sigh* Who am I kidding.

        Lobbyism is the real problem.

        Well, maybe there’ll at least be some concessions to appease young voters. And provided they win, at least go back to a pre-Trump2 Israel policy. Doesn’t make me too happy though I mean the USA has basically been bankrolling Israel and outfitting their military for decades, it needs to stop.

          The previous Israel policy is a large part of the reason why there is a second term for the pedo. Biden dragged his feet on doing anything, even just threatening to restrict weapons shipments, and Harris wouldn’t say she’d do any different.

          Which is… what exactly?

          To be clear, the only difference between Israel now and Israel a year ago was that Israel a year ago was at an earlier stage in their genocide and Netanyahu in a better position domestically, not in any way, shape or form that they were getting resistance from Biden. Trump is paying less lip service, but let’s not forget the horrors that were being inflicted by Israel during Biden’s term, especially in mid to late 2024.

          at least go back to a pre-Trump2 Israel policy.

          Which was the same as Trump 2 Israel policy. We got over a year of unrestrained genocide under Biden.

        More like neoliberal billionaire paymasters telling them otherwise. Nothing more significant can be done to improve US politics, than to make all political donations over $100 illegal. No PACs, no party donations. Money can only be donated to candidates directly.
