The US led ceasefire basically walked back any and all real war ending measures and was just basically a propaganda piece covering for Israel.

From the UNs own website:

The vetoed draft would have made imperative an immediate and sustained ceasefire in Gaza, with an “urgent need to expand the flow of humanitarian assistance” to all civilians and lifting “all barriers” to delivering aid Council members disagreed over elements of the draft, and some highlighted glaring exclusions despite having raised multiple concerns with the US during negotiations Ambassadors largely supported swift action to bring food and lifesaving aid at scale into Gaza, where a UN-backed report on Monday raised alarms about famine as Israel continues to block and slow walk shipments into the besieged enclave

Even when the dems did have power in congress, they did fuck all. As you said, the democratic establishment blocked any movement.

Not voting is intrinsically not a vote for anyone. I’ve voted dem in every single election since I’ve been old enough to vote. Genocide is not something I can countenance. If this was the Trump administration doing this the dems would be shouting from the rooftops about how it’s inconscionable. They’re in control and they are doing the same thing.

Stop relying on black and brown voters to save your asses each time.

Probs not he’d probably want me dead if he saw what I’ve said about him Unless you’re saying you want everyone who disagrees with you to go get bombed?

Speaking of, how is what Putin is doing in Ukraine any different than what Israel is doing in Palestine?

In fact there have been less medics and journalists and civilians killed in the russia Ukraine war in the last what 3 years it’s been going on than israel murdered in the last year. Why is Biden saying that is illegal and everyone needs to listen to the UN, but when the same UN votes to censure Israel, it’s just crickets?

Kamala and Biden haven’t said finish the job, they’ve just given all the weapons and money anyway. They built a pier using billions of dollars saying it was for aid and then launched a massacre from the pier and then disabled it

They haven’t worked for a ceasefire they’ve vetoed every single one

I’m not saying vote for Trump. But the constant blackmail of oh if you don’t vote for one genocidal maniac you’ll get a worse genocidal maniac also doesn’t really seem like democracy does it?

I hold with what almost every peace keeper has said. If your uplift is rooted in another’s oppression, you are not free.

If the democrats really want to win, why not follow the will of the majority of the American people, who say they want an embargo of arms?

Why are the democrats courting Dick Cheney and a bunch of Reagan era politicians rather than listening to their voting base?

The fault isn’t going to be Muslim or black voters if kamala loses. It’s going to be the dems and the fact that they are not even a center left party at this point. They are what the Republicans used to be, and the republican party is now rabid and needs to be put down.

I’m pretty sure this has been the scare tactic for the last 8 presidential elections of my lifetime

Or maybe people actually see what’s going on and see children get shredded with America’s permission, democratic permission, and with American bombs with American intelligence and say hey we don’t want this to happen anymore.

Maybe they see the party that is supposedly the “good” party brutally shut down protests against a genocide funded by them inside college campuses and think oh hey, that doesn’t seem like free speech.

Maybe they see a party just as bought out and in lockstep with billionaires and think oh hey, that’s not democracy.

Maybe they see a party that for two election cycles in a row has stolen the candidacy – more people wanted Bernie than Clinton in 2016 but they gave it to Hillary because why? “It was her turn”

Then when half the party was pissed and worried with Biden, did they hold a snap election? Like every other civilized developed country? Nah, they just said here you are, take kamala.

And kamala has just been like yes we will keep bombing kids.

Maybe Muslim Americans and other brown Americans are tired of for 25 years being both sides boogeyman. They just expect us to sit there and vote democrat while they spend 25 years telling everyone that they are terrorists, that they bomb places, that they hate America, that they are an other, a column that doesn’t matter. And if trump wins it will be their fault again. Not the fault of the 55% white people who somehow think that he’s okay.

Maybe you guys need to get your head out your asses and see that america is not a beacon on a hill, it’s a 300.year old empire that is crumbling into the gutter in front of you, and when empires do that, fascism follows. And you lot really need to realize that at this point, whether it’s Democrat or republican, it’s fascist. There is no choice, just the illusion of one. And again, democrats are as bought out by billionaires as the Republicans are.

It’s like going to the store and seeing 15 different varieties of the same candy but they’re all made by the same company and taste just ever so slightly different.

Actually it took centuries of people revolting and overthrowing old systems of government, not them kowtowing to party 1 and party 1a.

You just proved his point entirely lol

That’s his point exactly.

If your only two choices are genocide 1 and genocide 2 then you’ve fucked up pretty bad as a country

Hell this country has only been around 300 years and it’s started more wars than most people can count.

He didn’t say that, you just jumped into but Jill stein

This is the type of delusion that eventually leads to fascism any way

“Hey don’t try to change anything because obviously only one of two people can win”

“Hey you have to change things from the inside of the party, you can’t just have a third party even though every half decent western government has multiple parties”

“If you don’t want to vote for a genocidal enabler of capitalism and class separation paid for by the same people who pay for trump/hitler, then you’re voting for trump/Hitler”

“You have to bring the super nuts authoritarian fascists into the group, and exclude the actual left wing people who are screaming for basic decency and rights for everyone”

“Oh no how on earth did the crazy right wingers take over the entire country who could have seen this coming? It’s totally not the fault of a governmental party that can’t sort their shit out and take on policies that a majority of it’s constituents want, but instead keeps sliding as far to the right as possible every time they have to move”

Yeah apparently on Lemmy if you criticize Biden or Kamala you want trump to win. There’s no nuance of “hey maybe we should force a better choice than a genocide enabler who will stick to the status quo as it has been for the past 40 years and change nothing, or an orange more evil genocide enabler”

Like I absolutely don’t want trump as a president. I also absolutely don’t want my taxes and money going to kill innocent people. These are not two contradictory viewpoints but people don’t seem to understand that. Hell, even Kamala doesn’t seem to understand that based on her rhetoric.

I’m tired of the white house being concerned or disappointed by Israel. If your child concerned or disappointed you so much and didn’t change his or her behavior, you would put in some consequences. Otherwise you would be a shitty parent. That simple.

First off, weird to point out that they’re “age appropriate”

If your kid reads above the age level and understands it that’s generally a good thing

Number two I don’t get why this is such a weird concept on how to explain things to a child. Seems pretty normal and “age appropriate”

Because his dad was part of al qaeda the kid deserved to die? That’s totally not fucked up at all
