US approves $7.4bn sale of more weapons to Israel used to ravage Gaza

... mmhmmm. I guess no democracy is better then. I'm convinced.

I am an anarchist and have only voted once for secession. I would've voted against Trump if I were American though. What is your point though?

[noneofurbusiness@fedia.io]

You're just saying they will. Why?

Again, because if they don't the country will implode and they'll lose all power. Or the military will physically remove them. Dismantling a democracy isn't something you can just declare. It's a lot of painstaking hard work, especially in a country with checks and balances as strong as America.

And there it is. "The genocides won't affect me, so I'm not worried about it." Plus, they're icky queer and brown people, am I right?

I said personally for a reason. It's another bad thing happening in the world that I hope won't happen, but don't have the emotional capacity to strongly sympathize with.

The fall of the American federal government to fascism is not as foregone a conclusion as it is being made out to be.

The same factions that didn't want to change the incumbent policy are the same that are accepting the fascist movement without resistance.

[_stranger_@lemmy.world]

Yeah, Biden negotiated that.

[flyingsquid@lemmy.world]

Your lack of sympathy over the two genocides going on in the U.S. is noted. I guess there's only room in your heart for one genocide.

Also, this is fucking hilarious:

because if they don’t the country will implode and they’ll lose all power. Or the military will physically remove them.

But I don't blame you for not knowing why what with you not having lived in the U.S. for 47 years.

Fun fact: Genocide Donald is the oldest president the United States has ever had.

[prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone]

Are you fucking for real? You are trying to spin this as positive? Y'all are delusional.

[prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone]

But they can claim moral superiority, and we all know that's what's most important when it comes down to it.

[prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone]

Imagine eliminating homelessness with that money.

[zombifrancis@sh.itjust.works]

I am indeed making the delusionally brave stance of spinning a seemingly lasting ceasefire as a positive.

[auraithx@lemmy.dbzer0.com]

Seems it's already fallen to me. I don't see much short of a revolution reversing it and the libs certainly aren't going to do that. AuthLeft are tiny and as far gone as MAGA on certain topics. LibRight are on AuthRight's side. And there's like 10 LibLefts.

[maalus@lemmy.world]

The ceasefire agreement was the exact same as it was in October when it was rejected. And not by Palestine. Trump sent envoys a month before the Gaza ceasefire happened. This isn't Biden who got it.

No Way Jesus would allow that!

Bruh then what's the point of AI

[gravitas_deficiency@sh.itjust.works]

Dude, I’m not defending Biden in any sense whatsoever.

[maalus@lemmy.world]

No, it isn't. But acting as if democrats were / are willing to change and listen to the people is extremely naive. That's the reason Bernie Sanders was never allowed to be a candidate despite being one of the most popular dems out there. There needs to be a third way / party that does better and claws out the democrats from ever being able to win.

[bytemeister@lemmy.world]

...seemingly lasting ceasefire...

Oh, my sweet summer child...

[clinicallydepressedpoochie@lemmy.world]

They do hold primaries, ya know.

[inclementimmigrant@lemmy.world]

Everyone here's rehashed and rehashed and rehashed, I've seen the same people come back with the same things over and over again on these threads.

I mean it's cathartic to a point but damn, one thing you don't see a lot of "what the fuck am I going to do about it". Well outside of those going I'm never going to vote again people.

The Democratic party isn't going to do a thing on their own at this point, leadership is too old, ineffective, unwilling to change without a shit ton of external stimulus. Had a nice discussion thread about calling your rep and yeah, kind of came to the conclusion that the Democrats should be doing this on their own but they're just too dumb and scared so I'm going to call them even though I'm never going to like them.

For me, I'm also going to increase my donation to progressive groups this year because unfortunately moving to another country isn't in the cards for me and then maybe phone bank again, though that's going to be rough because damn voters are stupid.
