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

Not through the party-controlled process.

Agreed, but the roar of such sentiment just prior to the election that immediately died out tells you most people saying that didn't actually believe it.

Those who do kept their mouths shut until after the election, because we knew doing otherwise would just elect Trump.

We are are walking on the same side of the street now. Please, flesh out your position because it's not clear what you intend.

And stopped enforcing the sanctions on Russia that were created by the legislature. If the executive branch does not execute the laws made by the legislature then we are not a republic. We are now a dictatorship.

This same infighting comment in every single thread.

[mashedhobbits@lemy.lol]

I wonder if you will ever stop blaming voters for a party so shit they let Trump win.

[mashedhobbits@lemy.lol]

“Why doesn’t anyone care about the German victims of Nazism like they do the Jewish victims”

You do understand why no one gives as much of a shit about your “genocide” in the US, y’know aside from it not happening in the first place.

[flyingsquid@lemmy.world]

I will never stop blaming the party, the candidate, the people who refused to vote to stop the fascist and the people who did not vote at all.

Unlike you, apparently, I think there is plenty of blame to go around.

This is the trillion-dollar question. How does one combat a system so dominated by money? I certainly don't have the funds to lobby politicians and the politicians certainly won't agree to change the system that showers them with gifts and power. This same system leads to greater and greater wealth inequality. The top 10% wealthiest Americans own two-thirds of the wealth: https://www.statista.com/statistics/203961/wealth-distribution-for-the-us

Even if wealth distribution was more equal and the bottom 90% had more wealth in total, it's a lot easier to get fewer people to agree with collective action and to control the narrative with a coherent policy.

[flyingsquid@lemmy.world]

Yes, I do understand that humans are selfish, sadistic creatures who don't give a shit about people suffering if they get to feel smug about it.

I just wish that wasn't the case.

Sadly, you are not changing my mind on that.

[peregrin5@lemm.ee]

Maybe start at the local level and build a community of like minded people to form a cohort to enact change instead of trying to start at the top and then throwing a tantrum when you don't get your way after putting in none of the work.

[peregrin5@lemm.ee]

Shhh. They don't want to hear facts.

[peregrin5@lemm.ee]

The US is over. I hope my state and those near us have the balls to secede and form Cascadia. I'd volunteer to fight if needed.

[metalmachine@feddit.nl]

Ah yes, lets turn the rubble into ash

[maalus@lemmy.world]

What does he need to "flesh out"? The dems won't let anyone in outside of the "establishment". It needs to be entirely torn down to actually listen to people voting for em

[nomoredrama@lemmy.world]

Good job. Israel is the only peaceful nation in the whole area. They need to be strong, to ensure that the militants that are constantly forming in the middle east, stay weakened.

[clinicallydepressedpoochie@lemmy.world]

Please explain how you would do this.

[oce@jlai.lu]

Again, it's not a matter of support, it's a matter of chosing the lesser evil to reduce the potential negative impact.

[peregrin5@lemm.ee]

Money is only this powerful because people didn't vote when it mattered to keep money out of politics.

So there is still time...
