I don't get how libs can tolerate being taken for granted like this. They're not being mature or practical - they're accepting mistreatment by an establishment sworn to serve them.

Trump and his supporters aren't better, but at least he's telling them what they want to hear. He at least made sure to get checks out to people and had his signature stamped on them.

I dunno, at least there's a strategy there. And Biden has had four fucking years and he's done nothing to get people motivated to vote or even register to vote. Not even going into his participation in genocide, it's just a lack of strategy to the point of self-sabotage.

And the entire Democratic party is complicit in all of it. It's like they want to lose, because all I'm hearing are about how bad trump is/was. And it's like, I was fucking there. And after three years, all they can offer is to give him a verbal reprimand and coverage on every major news network, speech, and social media posting.

It's just mind-blowing to think of the wasted time and energy on the part of the US political system.

    Biden doesn't have to bypass Congress to get Israel aid. Who would vote against it? The evangelical cultists of the republican party would do anything to bring about their apocalyptic vision of the second coming and no democrat would vote against it. They're bypassing congress so they don't have to inform the world what they're sending to arm the genocide machine.

      Biden's bypassing Congress was reported by national media outlets. If what you say is true, then it was probably the most ineffective way to do anything inconspicuous .

      There's probably another explanation that you're dismissing out of hand

      I bet there are people that would vote against it and that's why Biden bypassed Congress. Until that legislation comes up though, we're kinda at an impasse empirically.

        I didn't say "inform the world that they're sending," I said "inform the world what they're sending." Bypassing congress with the national security bullshit means they don't have to say, "Yeah, we're giving them white phosphorous and cluster bombs to commit war crimes."
