I’ve always appreciated RS for providing actual leftist reporting AKA, truthful coverage of politics.
Rollingstone doing the Lord’s work with this one.
That’s a lot of food stamps to cut so bibi the nazi can keep his genocide running.
Food stamps for the needy? Bad!
Bomb stamps for a genocidal regime? Good?
If welfare queens exist, then Israel is the ultimate welfare queen. Just sucking up money and never becoming a productive member of the world.
I’d argue they’re welfare fraudsters rather than welfare queens. They’ve got tons of money, most of the tech industry is connected to Israeli engineering. They’re just also constantly getting even more money so they don’t need to spend as much of their own money. Always best to waste someone else’s money.
It’s not even money they are cutting from social programs, it’s all borrowed. The ruling class are going for broke, we will be at 50 trillion debt by 2028 easy. I bet even more, all they need is a national emergency.
It’s time for the Final Solution. Then Trump and Kushner can finally develop the Jewish Dubai out of the ruins. That’s what he’s getting in exchange for full collaboration.
I thought we needed those bombs? Didn’t Biden cause the problem by giving away all our precious bombs to Ukraine, not TACO with his Iran war? So I guess the shortage must be over if we have enough to give to Israel. Such a relief to know we are safe again.
Different bombs. These are dumb bombs, US can’t get close enough to Iran to use these. They tried already and lost aircraft. So they have to use guided bombs and missiles.
Israels genocide is uncontested, so they have no issues dropping dumb bombs.
It was my understanding most of it was WWII surplus.
Your Medicaid and SNAP benefits hard at work!
I’m sending my health care! Hopefully I can die quickly and quietly to push that line just a bit higher for corporate overlords. Hail corporate!
So Israel’s genocidal rampage is more important than winning in Iran, and all the US military over there are sacrificing their lives for no (useful) reason. I don’t get why the right-wingers aren’t more incensed over this crap.
So Israel’s genocidal rampage is more important than winning in Iran
No, duh! They already won in Iran. Haven’t you heard Dear Leader? Iran’s utterly destroyed and the Strait is open! If you have high gas prices is because that damned Zelensky is bombing poor Russia’s oil infrastructure!
It’s a death cult.
It’s the mental illness epidemic of fascism
Once someone accepts hatred into their heart, they’re easy to control, and most of these people have had 20 years of Islamophobia mainlined 24/7.
They don’t see humans anymore because their brain shuts off at “Muslim”.
And it’s the exact same playbook used by every fascist. Give them someone to hate, and they’ll let you do basically anything as long as you actively hurt the people you told them to hate.
Cult + they will never be informed of this on fox and/or be told this is a great thing for national security
I thought if we didn’t vote Harris this genocide would stop.
Idk guise. Maybe the DNC is to blame for pushing unpopular candidates to representation. Idk. Something something two parties something constitution…
I was told if I voted for her we’d be in a war with Iran by now. The person that told me that has since “stopped caring” about politics
I was told the genocide would be good if it was a Dem doing it!
They were both not going to do anything about it. Trump is way worse though.
Are you talking about Kamala “my platform is whatever the party tells me it is” Harris? She’s an opportunist asshole who’ll say whatever she thinks will further her political career. This Harris?
Bad bot.
Still better than a pedophile rapist who is robbing you blind hut I guess that is just what you’re in to
I think you mean my-platform-is-whatever-the-party-tells-me-it-is Harris.
You’re welcome.
I don’t remember Harris promising to not send billions to Israel either
A big problem with democracy is you have to assume people pay attention and are intelligent.
She also said she wouldn’t do anything differently than Biden. Many times.
You’re ALSO assuming that the people who who made that argument were doing so in good faith and ACTUALLY give a fuck about Gaza, and not trolls whose entire MO is to watch the world burn - a proposition I think you’re giving them WAY too much credit with.
And Trump promised to restore peace in the Middle East.
I asked about ending all aids and weapons to israel. Your article do not mention anything about that
I wish Harris was president right now.
Same. It would have exposed people like you. I also hope the dems will wins the midterm and next presidential election to expose how they was never against ending the war of aggression on Iran
I don’t know who is paying you, but the war in Iran MIGHT have happened under Harris, but we know it DID happen under Trump, against the VEHEMENT opposition of EVERY SINGLE PERSON who would still be in power if he’d lost, Gaza is still fucked and EVERYBODY else is doing poorly on every measure too now. Fuck talking about the US - worldwide:
The environment is fucked, 50 degree summers are a foregone conclusion now, left-wing parties are being stomped across countries where they used to be either dominant or competitive, mass extinction and the most brutal El Nino in recorded history are about to steamroll the planet unimpeded, money that used to be used to protect the vulnerable in countries that were damaged by imperialism is instead being used to build useless monuments to nothing, government surveillance is on the rise in EVERY country, human rights are collapsing in most…
Even if you’re an ignorant as fuck tankie, even the “socialist countries fighting the imperialist US” are doing demonstrably worse than they used to be, with the possible lone exception of North Korea, so whatever point you think you’re making is laughable.
Not a single word about the real victims of the war of aggression, theeht but Iranians civilians. You do not give a damn about the war you just use it for your shitty political game
The war against Iran definitely wouldn’t have happened under her. This is entirely about Trump being easily fooled by Nethanyahu and him really really wanting to be a wartime president. It is a very personal war and also why it is extra stupid.
Even Bush jr. who started wars left and right was not so stupid as to start one with Iran.
Don’t put words in my mouth
People who are against genocides like the one in Palestine by Israel, the one in Ukraine by Russia and China’s genocide of the Uyghurs?
No anti genocide in Gaza would defend Kamala and act like she would save Palestinians similar to no trump defender are opposing genocide in Gaza
Fuck isreal. It should be wiped off the map.
Israel needs to take care of itself. This shit is ridiculous.
America’s cooked.
Always has been.
Make a list of all the US addresses; When israel uses the bombs, some people should get a letter thanking them for buying the bomb that was just dropped on X location. Would be good for folks to know where their taxes are going
yup, you americans voted for this, and after two years of theft, bribery and wanton destruction? you still do nothing.
The fuck do you expect us to do? Most of us are one missed paycheck away from homelessness.
What have you tried so far?
There have been protests all over the country all summer.
Something tells me the people who participated in the Civil Rights Movement weren’t exactly swimming in money either.
Protests have been going on non-stop since day one of the administration.
These “protests” are almost all weekend parades. If the Civil Rights Movement was like this it would’ve ended up a footnote in history. You should look up what MLK and crew actually did to get where they ended up. And of course, the Civil Rights Movement did employ wasn’t as peaceful as the textbooks would have you believe. So I guess what I want to say is: Do what MLK did then you can say you tried.
Yes, let’s riot under an administration that’s itching to call for nation wide marshal law.
You don’t live here, do you? If that’s the case, then I forgive your ignorance on the situation we’re in. Otherwise, what are you doing?
I don’t, in fact, live in America, but also the problem here is that your democracy has no future unless you do something. The time where this could be resolved without significant personal risk is long past. If you think the risk of regime retaliation is worse than the risk of living under MAGA for the next two decades, then sure, but know that those are the options you’re looking at here.
I don’t think you understand the likelihood of what you want resulting in our deaths. They’ve already killed numerous protesters. I live 1,100 Miles from DC. Hell, the closest real city is a hundred miles from me. I feel like you don’t understand the size and how spread out the country is. You seem to have this idea that we can just flip the do something switch and things magically happen.
You want to believe that you’re just better than us and that it can’t happen in your country, when it has likely already begun.
Do what you can to fight back. Trying to survive is how they want you kept busy. Stop buying consumerist things. Stop shopping at Walmart and target and Amazon. Join community groups. Vote. Attend rallies.
You personally may already do that bit most don’t. Union membership is down globally. Big tech is taking control and hasn’t had a useful product in a generation.
How do you propose we get a significant amount of people to do that? Hell, there’s a lot of places where Walmart might be the only choice, and if there is another choice it’s Dollar General, which is in some ways even worse than Walmart.
I can’t even really afford “consumerist things” (whatever that means, in my house we’re barely treading water with just the essentials at this point.
Most Americans did not vote for this.
Around 30-something% of people voted for Harris. The rest voted for pedohitler or didn’t vote. If you didn’t vote, you helped pedohitler be where it is.
Nah. Fuck the US government we don’t have control of it. US isn’t a real democracy if it ever was.
I mean I agree people should vote and do more to stop fascism but failing to do so doesn’t make you responsible for other people’s actions. Frankly if all you’re doing is voting for Harris in this current disaster then you are barely better than a non-voter anyway.
I mean I agree people should vote and do more to stop fascism but failing to do so doesn’t make you responsible for other people’s actions.
Yes, it does. If your choices are Hitler and someone you disagree with but who’s not Hitler and you don’t vote, you’re saying that both Hitler and the other person are OK for you. So yeah, you are accepting that getting Hitler as president is fine.
The two choices were Hitler. Biden was in the middle of a genocide and then trump came in and continued it.
Or maybe you fell for disinformation or maybe you just weren’t paying attention or maybe you thought your vote was more impactful boosting a third Party candidate because your state wasn’t going to be close anyway or maybe you couldn’t get off work that day and they closed the polling station near your house so it would have taken 2 hours by bus and you’d have gotten fired.
Lots of reasons people didn’t do the optimal thing around voting. Some of those are more excusable than others but none make you directly responsible for the things Trump and his followers are doing. They are responsible for their own actions. We are responsible for our own. That’s all.
And again, I personally don’t think we will get out of this solely by voting. People need to stop limiting political action solely to making a largely inconsequential mark on a piece of paper.
Actually, that’s not really true I’m sorry.
Trump is America’s great shame. He has harmed people financially all over the world, and he has presided over a dramatic increase in greenhouse gas emissions.
In the same way todays Australians bear the responsibility for attrocities perpetrated on first nations people before we were born, Americans for generations to come will bear responsibility for Trump.
People really overestimate in how much of the US a person’s vote for president matters. Like 2/3rds of the states aren’t even within reach of a wave election. And the people who could have an impact on the result but stayed home aren’t in a niche politics forum and are really checked out of politics. Like shockingly so. A non-voting acquaintance of mine was going to vote for a conservative nobody because he thought their name sounded cool.
The idea that the 30% non-voters should vote makes sense in a civic ideal sort of way, but they’re not going to show up as secret defenders of liberal democracy. They’re going to be very susceptible to propaganda and those that aren’t are going to vote for Idiocracy-level dumb reasons. Trump’s initial election made big gains from non-voters who are now shocked that he’s doing things he said he’d do.
Huh? Have you not been paying even the slightest bit of attention to what people are saying about what’s been happening here? Almost no one likes what is happening. Most people want meaningful change, just look at the amount of socialists getting wins in the past few months. We aren’t rioting, sure. But we are trying, we are making noise and making progress.
You see what ICE is armed with? No thx man. My state says I shouldn’t even have a firearm and that I should trust the popo.
We didn’t vote our way into this and we cannot vote our way out of this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rlKmWa8p4UM
Any action you could possibly suggest that could make a major immediate impact would be illegal and would be cracked down upon harshly. People have been protesting the whole time but they’re either ignored or quashed, and it’ll only get worse thanks to the massive AI surveillance state that the parasites get wet dreams about. We can only hope the actions we take will move the needle at some point, but there is an immense force holding up israel.
Americans voted for genocide since the creation of israel
America was basically founded on genocide.
