US Justice Department says Gal Haimovich sent aircraft tech, some of it with missile applications, worth $2 million to Russian customers, violating export controls amid Ukraine war
When people say they want the only valid option to not support genocide:
Still vote for pro genocide anyways
Isn’t as effective as you think it may be
I’m voting for Harris (even tho she has zero chance in my state)
But comments like yours are making voters feel disenfranchised meaning they’re less likely to vote.
And the only reason I took the time to write that, is I think you’re genuinely trying to help Kamala, what you’re doing is just the opposite.
Something better would be:
The only chance to stop it is to vote Kamala and keep up pressure the next four years.
That would be productive.
That would help her retain voters on the left despite her many recent policy moves that are chasing them away.
You have no choice, so stop caring
Doesn’t work on progressives, they have a larger prefrontal cortex which is where empathy and critical thinking is. They literally can’t ignore it like conservatives who in comparison have a smaller prefrontal.cortex and larger amygdala.
You appeal to them thru fear and pressure, what you said would work on them not progressives.
Note:
If you really want sources for the prefrontal cortex/amygdala stuff I can find them.
The reason for literally every single one of your complaints is public opinion. If you want things to change, you need to change people’s minds. That takes time and effort and it’s incredibly frustrating. I’ve given up trying to persuade people that torturing animals in factory farms is bad. Don’t forget 99% of human history had institutionalized slavery and rape. Most people are hopelessly morally bankrupt, unimaginably stupid, and barely sentient. Still, if you want the world to change, you gotta persuade them. No other option. Getting mad at “democrats” or “republicans” makes no sense when they’re the embodiment of their voters’ hideous opinions.
public opinion
This America…
It doesn’t matter what the people want. It’s about what the donors want
Because all Dems have to do is be slightly better than Republicans.
Which in regards to Israel is “slightly less genocide and we’re pretend we do t like it”.
Which is better than republicans.
But we’d get wasaaay more votes if Dems just didn’t support genocide.
Except for that line I generally agree with you. I’d prefer focusing on the alternative, trump, as the main reason to vote kamala.
But we don’t “win” just by trump not being president…
We can’t just vote D every 4 (or even every 2) years and just hope shit gets better.
And on this topic arguably Israel wants trump to win, as he would probably be much more pro Israel and anti Palestine.
I’d argue against that.
trump is unreliable and will do what Putin says. Israel is starting shit with their neighbors who have defense agreements with Russia. They have those because they can’t stand against Israel when the US is parking aircraft carriers right off the coast.
They want Biden, but will settle for Kamala. And they own enough (from both parties) in Congress that the president doesn’t matter that much unless it’s someone willing to completely ignore procedure and laws…
Like trump, or Biden when he went around Congress to provide arms for a genocide.
Take a look at his family, he had kushner in his cabinet last time, known Israel supporter, and his daughter even converted to Judaism for this guy, so all the signs are there… trump would probably be very pro Israel
Israel and Judaism is not the same thing…
I do t know why that still needs said, but apparently it does
trump is wildly unpredictable, that’s not good for allies. Because he could pull support at a moment’s notice for zero reason.
If the US pulls support from Israel, they’re completely fucked. They’re the bully hiding behind the teacher for almost 80 years and if the US drops support, it’s the equivalent to the teacher leaving the bully alone with the class and no supervision
I… you know i wrote a book here about how pissed off i am at the democrats, but i will spare you. I am angry, sure vote democrat, but also fuck them too. They are lucky i still care enough to vote.
