      I’m just saying this whole argument of progressives and Dems and RINOs and stupid shit is part of why there is no actual progress.

      A) their job is to represent their voters. Not enforce their own opinions

      B) progressives consume each other like crabs in a bucket while terrible politicians don’t care and move ahead

                She’s already getting called out by a human rights lawyer for complicity in genocide. Way to go. https://x.com/CraigMokhiber/status/1946593970148249744

                    “I am wrong but you are .ml”.

                    Great argument. You get to support genocide now.

        Democratic voters don’t support Israel anymore, so she’s actually going against her voters to cast this vote.

          You’ve spoken to every single one of them?

          Because that’s not true I literally know them

            I’ve seen polls. 🙄

            71 percent of likely Democratic primary voters say that the U.S. should end its arms transfers to Israel until it “stops attacks on civilians in Gaza, supports Palestinian rights, and commits to a long-term peace process.”

            After a decade in which Democrats have shown increasing affinity toward the Palestinians, their sympathies in the Middle East now lie more with the Palestinians than the Israelis, 49% versus 38%.

            Also, let’s not ignore Zohran Mamdani winning his primary.

            Times have changed. Democrats aren’t Zionists and she’s voting against what her voters want.

                Cutting off the Iron Dome is good. Israel would not be able to wage genocide if they had to worry about being hit.

                  In your opinion.

                  Half you bozos here believe Russia was forced to invade another country.

                    So, it’s your opinion that Israel doesn’t need the Iron Dome to act the way it’s acting?

                    Pretty sure it’s the opinion of anyone capable of critical thought. You give a genocidal nation half a billion dollars for defense that means that’s half a billion dollars they can use elsewhere. I wonder what they’re going to use it on?
