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

Even if this is technically true, if there is a certain amount of aid and a certain percent goes to US deals that are exported, and then the aid gets bigger with the expectation of larger more expensive export deals, I'm just not sure if this is meaningfully true rather than technically true. I am not downvoting you, BTW, I appreciate the correction, but just belive you are are confusing a semantic difference with actual ignorance.

Are you saying voters shouldn't be shocked? I think many Christians are indifferent at best and complicit at worst. If some Muslims hadn't sat out the election or voted Stein, would it have made a difference? It seemed like Trump was voted in by a landslide because average middle class people hate inflation and Biden was quasi-gaslighting people with CPI inflation statistic that include decreased smart TV prices and RAM costs as well as increased rent and food at similar weights that doesn't reflect what hurts consumers most while failing to reassure the public that yes, it was a problem, and that he was trying to do something. For about 2 years there was a major problem with nothing done by Biden. He was going to get voted out and Kamela Harris, who was in power and could have galvanized some sort of policy instead of doing nothing for 2 years was going to get voted out. They failed the public in a very important way and pretended the inflation problem wasn't bad. It upset people, even Democrats and liberals, and lost them almost all of the moderate vote.

The economy sucks globally. The US president can't fix the inflation. People are suffering economically everywhere.
We had a pandemic, world order is breaking down with Iran China and Russia leading the charge and on top of that climate change is accelerating.
It's going to get much, much worse very quickly, and picking Trump will make things worse. The president can't reduce the inflation, but he can fuck things even farther.

What point is irrelevant? I asked you which politician took the most money from Israel. And you responded with nonsense and don't want to answer the question because you know it destroys you. Sorry I don't spend enough time online for you.

Right, but Biden failed in communicating with people.
He said it wasn't that bad. That wasn't reassuring.
Even of soil problems and climate change are leading to crop reductions, and if that's the real issue, along with increasing the money supply, telling Americans "eh, it's not that bad everything looks fine based on the CPI" was an epic fail for a President.
His strategy may have been the best option, although that's doubtful, as I can think of various policies that would have reassured people without altering the money supply and am familiar with classical economic theories, but he failed to make people feel like he saw their pain. It was terrible politics from Biden, who is usually great at this stuff, and he failed at this because he was never in charge before and could rely on his extreme likability.

The US does not need their 2.000 pound bombs battle tested on refugee camps. Especially when Ukraine could have used those weapons.
The Houthi blockade was directly related to Israel. The Houthis started blocking ships of every country complicit in the genocide.
Say do you think Israel is committing genocide by the way?
-
I hope you can develop more options in the future, but for this election, there were only two.
-
Indeed it doesn't need 2,000 pound bombs tested. This is why Democrats stopped the shipment.
Ukraine doesn't have the air force required to use them. Air force is not just airplanes, it's also pilots, technical support team and air bases.This is a story the houthi likes to sell. They also attacked unrelated ships [0].
Israel was not commiting a genocide under Democrats. Trumps will lead to one.

And that, is irrelevant. If you have a better point make it im not gonna make your arguments for you.
-
Already have. You won't answer the question honestly, but anyone remotely informed already knows the answer. You are embarrassing yourself.
-
I see as expected a genocide denier.
-
While "better" still betting not going to pay for anything useful.
-
You didn't make a point you asked me a question. The list I've given shows who'se recieved the most from Israeli interests. Whether or not they're actually from Israel is irrelevant.

If Israel pays the money goes to American workers.
Your student loans are the results of systematic failure.
Universities don't need mega stadiums, students shouldn't need to buy books, admin staff shouldn't make so much. You also have a weird structure where top researchers make buttload of money, but TA down the pyramid are starving.In sane parts of the world universities build libraries, not stadiums. The life of TAs are hard, but they don't go into debt, top researchers don't get to pocket piles of gold, they get more research resources and admin staff get normal salaries.
tl;dr the money is there to give you almost free education, but it's not a priority.

I could not care less about moral superiority. That's why I held my nose and voted for an imperfect candidate.
-
real quick: how do these options develop if we keep telling ourselves that?
-
You have to work on building a party and preparing a candidate a couple of years in advance, you can't do that 3 months before the vote, at this point you can only vote for the lesser evil.
Are you working on that now?
