minus-square@SanctuslinkEnglish3•22 days agoI usually agree with you, Linker. But definitely not here. Lobbying and AIPAC money are the crux of this situation. If it were still illegal bribery, like it actually is in reality, the denial would not be existent.

minus-square@LinkerbaanOPlink-3•22 days agoIt’s not a rare case they had no choice. Biden was a guaranteed loss. Losing just 5% of voters makes enough of a difference for the Democrats to change policy.
