  • when the numbers start getting this close, buying electoral college electors to convince them to be faithless starts to be possible. Its probably not even very expensive, compared to what you can grift off a presidency.

  • the guy who famously never pays his vendors or his rent until he gets evicted is promising to send money?wow sign me up...

  • Every US presidential or congressional candidate need to hire interns to open up all the checks from aipac, for starters. And then they need to hire someone to watch those interns. And a full time nurse to treat paper cuts. Pretty soon its a staff of hundreds of people. These candidates arent going to 'bribe themselves' you know. This is big business.

  • thats.. not how endorsements work. Endorsements dont imply any relationship.I'm not saying that she isnt a peice of shit, she seems to be but we dont need to be making stuff up.

  • Justice isnt served until Netenyahu and biden are being frog marched in chains and striped pajamas at the hague.

  • Agreed. I dont think Netenyahu gives a crap about anything or anyone in America except insomuch as it furthers Israeli land grabbing and murder interests.

    Israelis overwhelmingly approve of trump. "58% of Israelis would vote for Donald Trump, while just 25% would vote for Vice President Kamala Harris." from https://mondoweiss.net/2024/09/the-shift-nearly-60-of-israelis-say-theyd-vote-for-trump/

    So yes, they will cheerfully shank Harris with an October surprise if they can.

  • a "leak" of something that they've been saying they are going to do for weeks.

    heck of a job, NY times. Way to catch those startling leaks.

  • take heart, Biden says he is very concerned. Harris too. Any day now he's going to stop the shipments and start poking netenyahu forcefully in the chest, screaming in his face, making threats.

    /s. I'm just messing with you.

  • Israeli murder of civlians is so normalized that its hardly even making the news anymore.

  • In the process of playing chicken with her to see who blinks first, yes, she might lose some votes. But she was going to lose some votes anyway because of the far right Israeli war, that she could win back that number and more if she alters her position to one that resonates with more Americans around the legends we tell ourselves about who we are. These are votes in key swing states that she could gain.

    That loss of votes either way is on her and the cadre of scumbag consultants doing tactical spreadsheets based on issue support, weighing if they can keep that sweet sweet AIPAC money. You are just playing her and netenyahus game and you cant even see it that you have multiple peoples hands up your rear using you as a sock puppet. You allow that because you are utterly terrified, and that part is understandable.

  • Third parties are spoilers

    Its complicated. They only become spoilers after the election is counted. On the days leading up to the election people not pledging their votes to one candidate or another are sought after, and sometimes that seeking takes the form or candidates doing desperate policy changes to bring their poll numbers up. Like we saw with Harris spouting off trying to appeal to gun nuts the other day. If enough Dem voters had stood up and said, "Hey stop it with the weapon shipments and at least be neutral in this because whats going on is not adhering to Who Americans are" then Harris would have felt pressure to stop the shipments, out of a once every 4 year fear that the people might be pissed at her. For the rest of the time our opinions dont matter for shit to party leadership.

    But to date she hasnt felt the pressure. The killing continues becasue we let it continue out of fear of trump winning. We dont trust that Harris is smart enough to get a message like, "hey cut that out", from us, but I bet she and her staff are smart enough if we could just come together and send the message. The fault here is on the voters for allowing Harris and Biden to do some flatly evil far right wing shit. We didnt even get bribed-- we're simply all terrified of trump so we let far right evil exist within a left leaning party.

  • That crowd is well aware that it can get worse, but political change sometimes means wading through some sewage in order to walk yourself out of it, rather than standing still in it and saying "it could be worse, like Trump worse, so maybe floating turds are not so bad."

    Whats to stop the next election from being exactly the same as this one, with hand picked AIPAC candidates on both sides?

  • I appreciate how you call the "any functioning adult who doesnt support war crimes" voter a "jill stein" voter. (/s)

    Its a big step up from the usual: accusing any non-Biden voter of being a trump supporter.

  • I dont think you've been listening to them. One more time: They are effectively the same in supporting and enabling a far right wing israeli governments war crimes. They are not the same in most other things-- although Biden is fairly close to trump on immigration and abuse of the population by law enforcement.

    That should have been a disqualifying action for Biden running for future roles in government, but somehow it wasnt There are many other Dems who could have and should have had a chance to run. Its also a flagrant breaking of the Leahy laws. The fact that neither of those things had any consequences whatsoever is indicative of the DNC and our entire government being bought out by bribes. If you dont think thats a problem, then wait and see what the far right fascists buy from us next. They couldnt care less about Americans or our future.

    I imagine after the election we'll have our military dying over there to support their land theft and be the bully for their grudges and aspirations of more land. Hope you like war crimes because thats the only thing on the menu, and you all have insisted we eat here, this election and in all the elections that follow until this place shakes itself apart or becomes isolated like North Korea. We should all just learn Hebrew now so we can take the Israelis orders more effectively.

  • It was originally supposed to have tried more like 15000, but yes, ultimately a low couple hundred were tried, and then the rest were just dropped. Theres interesting history there, and it functioned more like propoganda than justice.

  • Few people seem to care. Most dem voters couldnt even bother to vote uncommitted in the dem primary, a completely free and risk free way to try to nudge Biden/Harris to stop taking bribes. They'll happily get online and bloviate how everyone else is a trumper if they dont get in line and vote harris asap, and thats the extent of their backbone. Sad world. The true nature of my countryman turns out to be pretty disappointing. I'd say bring the british back to rule us but they seem no better. Whats left of civilization.. France? Japan maybe? Konichi wa, please come save us from our terrible selves.

  • I think it makes no difference whatsoever, when both are bought off by AIPAC money toward the same ends. But I do think there is only one that can conceivably be pressured to stop doing that, and only our every 4 year vote matters to them. Pushing on Trump is useless. This is your one chance to lift a finger to do the right thing with some pushback and demanding the shipments stop.

  • I think is she doesnt change her stand on it she has a good chance of losing.
