“He’s so stupid, hurr durr. He paid 40 billion and tanked the brand”.
Yeah and he MADE 100+ billion this election by downright lying through his teeth.
Don’t underestimate these people. They are intelligent (and often play a role to seem stupid, it’s a deliberate tactic) and malicious to the core.
I mean, he was already the world’s richest man, but evidently “the most of all” is not enough. They have 99% and we have 1%? They want to kill us for that last % because nothing will ever be enough for them.
Of course, they’ll let the killing do itself - why bother with that if a few well placed lies are enough to keep the population permanently divided along the axis of race, age, gender, sexuality… you name it, as long as it isn’t class.
Because this IS a class war and our side has been consistently losing for over three full decades.
Let’s say the Biden white house stopped all funding and weapons shipments to Israel like they should have. Obviously the genocide would continue because Netanyahu isn’t going to be talked out of stopping.
Would that have been enough for you?
Let’s start by acknowledging that previous presidents have been able to mitigate the worst excesses of Israel’s genocide of Palestinians in the past and that the slaughter we’re seeing right now is unprecedented and eclipses even the Nakba. Biden is a committed zionist and has willingly enabled this massive escalation of the genocide. Not only did he undemine Hillary Clinton’s negotionations with Israel during Obama’s administration, he has now sent two carrier groups to reinforce the IDF. A president with any spine or moral compass on the issue would have negotiated, and failing that, followed through on an escalating list of consequences similar to those imposed on apartheid-era South Africa. The US stands alone as the only major power in several organizations like the UN, G7, and NATO to ardently support Israel’s genocide. That could end, but Biden would never do that.
I’ve voted for Harris regardless. Natenyahu wouldn’t be able to continue for long without the US funding. They just can’t. So cutting funding and weapons shipments would have been more than enough.
