  • You are right. I think other countries should sanction US travelers for our governments bad actions, yes. It would wake people the eff up.

  • The double standard for Harris and Trump has reached a breaking point | One candidate can rant about gibberish while the other has to be perfect.

  • a large part of this is because she’s a woman.

    the slogan I've seen on some shirts, "Good thing we are only looking for equality and not revenge" comes to mind.

  • "I dont vote for right wingers on the right or the left" is the closest I can get to a single standard to apply to all candidates.

    But its more nuanced than that, isnt it-- as much as you'd like to pretend otherwise. You're either pretending not to understand, in which case you're just a troll, or you're too limited in your cognitive empathy to understand, in which case, you arent worth anyones time to talk to.

  • I'd like to think they're all just Russian trolls but increasingly, I think some people are just selfish or dumb.

  • Dem centrists are too lazy to try to influence their politicians to do the right thing. And they pretend the politician is powerless to change their stand. They can change their stand. You can apply pressure during an election. if you'd just try. But you all pretend you are powerless, and then call everyone trying to pressure harris shitty names.

  • "We Have Lost All Credibility”: Hala Rharrit on Quitting State Dept. & Ending U.S. Complicity in Gaza

    Jump

  • We dont need Israel for much of anything. We have an air base in jordan a few miles from the Israel border. We have turkey, Cyprus, the UAE, bases all over, even inside Syria, really everywhere except for inside Israel. To our military Israel is completely useless, and a potent risk of "accidental" SAM launches.

    And if anyone seriously thinks the lack of bases inside their territory means They work for us, instead of the reality which is our politicians work for them, then you're just disregarding the proof thats clearly there even by the pattern of base presences, and the fact that democratic politicians are roped into a far right wing genocide. The idea that they are our "ally", that they are our "aircraft carrier in the middle east" and that they are a proxy for the US just doesnt match any of these facts. We're being fed Israeli propoganda and a lot of you are lapping it up because its most convenient for you.

  • The reason is that Israel has been a steadfast ally in advancing and defending us interests for half a century

    what a load of crap. Israel almost always has right wing leadership and those leaders run far more billboards celebrating their relationship with Putin that with the US. We have no operational bases there. They havent participated in any of our military conflicts. They are not an extension of US power. If they were, we have operations happening out of there.

  • theres about 7.5 jewish voters split between republicans and dems. Theres about 3.7 arab american voters which are part of the 4.45 million muslim voters. Jews arent a voting block of a size to be overly concerned about. And the dems probably lose more votes supporting israel than they gain. So this is about money, not votes.

  • “This Is Just Terrorism”: Israel Bombs World Heritage Site in Lebanon, Threatens Major Hospital

    Jump

  • Theres far far far more anti muslim violence than anti jewish. ADL has been counting people saying mean things online as a spike in anti semitic violence. Words are not violence. Holding a sign objecting to Israeli actions are not violence. And objecting to Israel is not anti semitic.

  • "They hate us for our freedoms" was such a ridiculously stupid thing for Bush to say, but people lapped it up and just assumed it was truth. Not the USA's most impressive moment.

  • This will blow back way harder on Israel than America.

    I dont think the US will walk away from this free of any consequences at all. The chickens will come home to roost. You dont kill that many people and leave that many affected victims and just saunter off into the sunset with no consequences whatsoever.

  • But it begs the question, why do we care what a minority of people think in Russia? No one here owes any Russian anything. Not Nvidia drivers, not.. anything. I say we firewall the whole Russian state off from the internet and call it a day. Tired of their cheating in every sporting event, killing citizens of other countries, blowing up pipelines, and generally behaving like shitty little gangster hooligans. Is there a small number of good people there? Sure. But thats not any of our problem-- thats their problem.

    Well thats not what any polls anywhere say. Where did you get that from? Reminds me of this saying: "Wish into one hand and shit into the other and see which one gets full first."

  • Political violence aimed at voting, I wonder if it was dems or repubs committing the crime?

    Aw, I'm Just kidding, No one wonders about this. Its always republicans doing terror acts on our soil.

  • Biden-Harris Administration strengthens standards to protect millions from exposure to lead paint dust, announces new actions to address toxic lead exposure.

    Jump

  • Nice to see Biden finally start doing some stuff now that his term is ending and the election is in jeopardy. If only he had the same energy a year ago, we wouldnt be in these straits. Its like he's cramming overnight for an exam he knew was coming, and he's aiming for that sweet sweet passing grade of C-.

  • Scientists warn of 'societal collapse' on Earth with worsening climate situation

    Jump

  • Implicit in your assertion is that we can stave off this collapse and that theres plenty of time to iterate to some changes.

    Consider that by 2050 we'll need 60% more food than we produce now, and projections are that with climate change effects we'll have no way to make that much, even if we start all eating bugs and kelp. So at the end of many of our lifetimes we'll observe tangible impacts. 2050 is just 26 years from now. So just sit on our hands and be patient, you think?

  • which is what most people are trying to do

    I dont agree that this is happening. Climate pledges are being abandoned. The imagination of International solutions are being abandonded for self serving ones. Even recycling in my area has been throttled way back. Internal combustion engine cars are surging back into popularity. One of the biggest possible polluting events are wars, and theres possibly a whole bunch on the horizon as Pax Americanan ends with the disolution of our soft power. We are not motivated to make progress and our political system and international reach seems to be in decline.

    If you look at the trajectories we are on in multiple areas, you can see inevitabilities. I dont fault you for having hope that the whole of human society will pull it out of the fire at the last second, but I no longer beleive its in our nature to act on these threats. Americans arent even convinced climate change is real.

    I still do beleive in the good will of the American people, and their ability to rebuild quickly and better. When forced to come together on a pursuit, American free thinking outpaces other international mindsets pretty reliably. Or it used to.
