He'll never do it. Neither will Kamala. They get too much money from the Israeli lobby.
lol @ America. Democracy? No. We let corporations and foreign leaders buy our elections.
But also: Democrats: “we need to save amerikkka 😭😭😭”
Yeah, we’re constantly on the edge of allowing this place to fall into full on fascist dictatorship. It fucking sucks.
Laugh all you want. At least you live in a place where your government is not constantly teetering on the edge.
Have they been supported by AIPAC? Surely, but them personally getting a check from a foreign lobby that is mysteriously allowed to exist in US politics is not a good explanation for what is going on. Israel serves a purpose extending America's power in the Middle East and terrorizing its rivals. If Israel was against America's interests in the region, AIPAC wouldn't exist and America's lavish cooperation with Israel would not be happening.
True. It’s all related to capitalism. But the campaign money is the real thing that keeps politicians (some of whom actually do care about doing the right thing), from doing the right thing.
Do it on the way out the door erase all the senile old fuck news with ' I know I'm not supposed to say this but seriously fuck Israel' Biden said WHAT news
Not sure why lemmy liberals are assuming Harris and Biden are secretly against Israel, it's going to be a big disappointment for you all if the Democrats win again and nothing changes.
It's called Stockholm Syndrome: people without options often end up genuinelly believing that the guy who tortures them only twice a week rather than daily is "deep down a good guy" and even "is our friend".
When you're voting in a one-party system with two right wings, nothing changing is the expected outsome.
I think Harris knows what’s up. But she also knows that she has to play the game.

She "knows what's up," and has self-consciously chosen to side with genocide, branding all of its opponents terrorists or terrorist sympathizers.
Dude, setting aside what we think of Hamas, I wasn't talking about Hamas, I was talking about people in America protesting against genocide being branded as terrorist sympathizers.
Are you not aware that the specific protestors she was responding to were actually flying Hamas flag and spray painting pro-Hamas messages on statues and things. It was bad.
Aside from the fact that she's clearly using it as an opportunity to make it look like the entire protest (and perhaps all pro-Palestine protest) took such a tact
If you mean "From the river to the sea" I swear to God
No, I mean “Hamas is coming”…
That's interesting. I clearly hadn't been giving those protestors enough credit, but the corollary of that is that Kamala, while an absolute zionist bastard, was still generalizing but not nearly as aggressively as I thought (there are definitely a bunch of triangles). I underestimated the ability of westerners to cut through zionist concern-trolling, even if not all present can.
I'm not sure I'm understanding your meaning here.
I said "setting aside what we think of Hamas" for a reason, if that helps you interpret my meaning, I'm just doing a bad job managing both impulsively responding after the conversation ran its course and also avoiding getting into a useless dispute about the main force of military resistance to an ongoing genocide.
Kamala herself doesn’t give a shit about Zionism except for what it provides to her campaign in the form of money.
I find it unfathomable how someone can come to that of all conclusions. Obviously she doesn't have a commitment to it religiously or out of ethnic supremacy, but it's just as obvious that she's interested in being the slay kween on top of the bloodiest empire in history, and so she knows it behooves her to take care of all of its apparati for maintaining power.
When you're a top-level politician like Kamala is failing-up into being, Israel's appeal to you in not the chump change from AIPAC (not that you don't take that too), it's Israel's actual use, the reason that AIPAC is allowed to exist when virtually no other foreign lobby is, that being that it spreads chaos and destruction among America's enemies in the Middle East.
The idea that AIPAC effectively authored and single-handedly perpetuates zionism in the US political establishment is both antisemitic and just plain stupid. Where do you think they got the money from?! It didn't just spring from Palestinian blood or from being Jewish or whatever, that money comes from the US initially! Or by proxy from US resources. The money AIPAC has is circling back to the US like in a money-laundering scheme.
