    The bottom line is America isn’t going to jeopardize their allegiance with Israel. They’re our most important ally in the Middle East.

    So what you’re really saying is you would have preferred if Democrats lied like Republicans and said during the election that they would put their foot down regarding Israel, only to take that back once elected.

    And honestly, I would agree with you. So many dumbasses in this country chose to vote 3rd party or not vote because of the whole Israel/Palestine thing that now a felon rapist traitor who shits on our Constitution and tanks our economy is president. So yeah, I kinda wish Democrats just pulled a Republican move and blatantly lied about their intentions during the election and then walked it all back after winning.

    Single issue voters/abstainers make me nauseous. Especially when so much is on the line.

    And now we’re learning the hard way.

      Democrats do lie about their intentions all the time. I saw Biden and Obama’s campaigns, and presidencies.

      Harris was actually one of the most honest campaigns that the Democrats have run

        So basically, whether Democrats lie or not, they lose because they’re held to a different standard and a felon rapist gets to sink our nation.

        Man, what a stupid country.

          Nah, I think they’re held to a pretty similar standard. They just did a worse job than Trump did when it came to acknowledging how shitty life has become for Americans.

          The Republicans ran on “Everything is fucked. Fascism, genocide and racism are going to fix it.”

          The Democrats ran on “Everything is great! But we’re gonna do genocide and draconian border policies more than they are.”

          If the voting-base you are trying to win over is angry about how things are going, and you offer them a solution, they’ll likely vote for you. But if your voter-base is angry about how things are going, and you fight against what they want, then you probably aren’t gonna get many votes.

      The bottom line is America isn’t going to jeopardize their allegiance with Israel. They’re our most important ally in the Middle East.

      Liberals will never, for an instant, ask themselves why Israel is such an important ally - not even when confronted with a choice between standing behind them literally committing a genocide and allowing a felon rapist take office.

      ‘We can’t abandon our ally’ is the most lazy lie the state department has ever successfully sold their citizens completely unchallenged right next to ‘we’re looking for WMD’s’
