I would not be thrilled for newsome. He’s a snake that undercut the progressives in his state government multiple times. Shapiro has been decent. I would come out for him for sure. But one thing I know is that the weekend at Bernie’s situation we’re facing right now is about as bad of an option as we can have going into an election year.
It’s private insurance for people who are statistically sicker and costlier. So they look for ways to cheat paying for care because it’s really profitable.
I find it funny that a couple months ago Schumer was calling on netenyahu to resign and now he’s one of the senators welcoming Bibi to the US. This country is just one big grift and everybody is a mark. I hate it here so much.
Zeteo and data for progress just recently did polling on this. But you’re right. Corporate media just manufactures consent for the horrors committed by the west.
You know Joe has a point when the only thing he and his administration is able to come up with in response to the allegations is “it’s not genocide”.
According to the United Nations, genocide is an internationally recognized crime that involves an act with the intent to destroy a national, racial, ethnic, or religious group, in whole or in part. These acts include:
Killing members of the group
Causing serious mental or physical harm to members of the group
Deliberately inflicting conditions of life on the group that would cause physical destruction
Imposing measures to prevent births within the group
Forcibly transferring children of the group to another group
This doesn’t even include the genocidal rhetoric coming from Knesset members.
It’s pretty clear the administration is on its back foot because no one believes Israel or the U.S. Hell, the majority of his base doesn’t agree with him.
The House delivered a rebuke to President Joe Biden Thursday for pausing a shipment of bombs to Israel, passing legislation that seeks to force the weapons transfer as Republicans worked to highlight Democratic divisions over the Israel-Hamas war....

There has been some reporting that Jeffrey Epstein was a Mossad agent honey trapping politicians in the US. It was reported on RT but I’ve been wondering the same thing.
This should have been the move on day 10 of the invasion. And a white house insisting on peace negotiations and the release of hostages on both sides. He would have instantly been viewed favorably on this issue and likely wouldn’t have tanked his polling.
Biden is the politician running to win the election. It’s on him to make sure that he gets the most votes. Blaming Palestinians or voters in general for not voting for the guy enabling a genocide is not going to work to get more people to the polls. It’s on Biden.
Yep. He ended up doing healthcare lobbying so he flipped against a Medicare for all. He just tanked any semblance of what made him a likeable politician back in the 2000s. When he went after Bernie in 2016, it became really apparent what his allegiances were.
Those aren’t leftists. It’s mostly liberals who tell themselves that israel as a ethno nationalist state is perfectly fine but that a prime Minister boastfully taking Israel to it’s natural conclusion of ethnic cleansing and genocide is too much. They want it to be done more quietly.
What’s so frustrating is watching people online ridicule the perception that we’re not doing great collectively as a nation. If the bottom falls out and the 56% get wrecked financially the other 44% are going to feel it. And having anxiety about that is perfectly understandable.
