Because the government is a terrorist state that sponsors genocide and the branches of that terrorist state sponsor terrorism globally.
"UWU the dems are just so powerless UWU!"
If this is true then surely the system needs huge changes so that necessary progress can be made

I open the link and the first comment:

The executive branch could absolutely unilaterally cut off support to Israel. We already have laws that prohibit arms transfers to countries interfering with USAID operations, and we're signatories to treaties that prohibit arms transfers to countries if we reasonably believe they will be used in the commission of war crimes. The easiest one for the president to prove would be the former, since we literally have reports from USAID saying this is happening. It's also worth noting that we have treaties obligating us to provide certain amounts of aid to Israel, but enforcing these laws is the sole responsibility of the executive branch. Biden could choose to cut off arms transfers at any time, and if someone wants to argue that our obligations to provide aid for Israel supersede international treaties they can let the courts sort it out.
OP of that thread STILL posts in EnoughBernieSpam. Someones mad.
This isn't even on the level of the political anymore lol, this is liberals grappling with The Problem of Evil
If the Democrats are loving but incompetent, why rely on them?
If they are competent but uncaring, why support them?
If they're both loving and competent, then from whence comes evil?
California. Democrats have had a super majority for as long as I can remember and nothing has changed but the date.
They are pushing the homeless into concentration camps though, so that's something.
no no sweaty, you don't understand. Public transport has expanded by...couple miles. A gay marriage was signed and immigrants with a pell grant and small business that has existed for 4 years get a tax break for a year as long as they work at a FAANG company and have eligible overtime!
What's that, rent too high? Our hands are tied! Homeless problem? Our hands are tied! Rising car-prices and gentrification pushing more people out of mobility and affordable neighborhoods with jobs? Our hands are tied!
Don't vote Jill Stein or La Cruz. But you better vote, don't you know your neighbors are watching?
Btw California only ever voted to make gay marriage illegal, in 2008. The state legislature never did anything about it.
Homeless problem? Our hands are tied!
They're hands are tied to do anything positive for the homeless. They're very willing and able to hurt them though
: "Well shucks, kiddo. What's the hurry? Maybe we just like taking our time here. Besides, the state is blue. Our work here is already done!"They're working hard at unshackling tech companies so they can find new and innovative ways to exploit people!
Remember when Obama held every branch of government and did fucking nothing. Communists Remember, we are cursed, on and on, with the horrors of memory.
Cursed with both memory and prophecy, but the inability to change the present meaningfully.
Real poli-sci/political history heads know that the Federal Government was designed to not work so that white people could murder, steal, and enslave nonwhite people freely without interference and if you wanted to do something else with it you needed 90% of the population to support it.
gotta keep the mob away from the important centers of power, and make sure to give slaveowners extra votes as well.
"why don't tankies just realise that the entire structure of the US government is set up to make it an institutionally fascist country and we can never improve it and that's ok"
When Trump is in power, the president is Dictator King and a threat to democracy.
When Biden is in power, the president is a mostly ceremonial role
I was thinking the other day how fucked we would have been if Covid kicked off under a Hillary Clinton presidency and a right wing Congress. Wonder how many more people would have died because "her hands would have been tied."
Not feeling good about h5n1 under either 2nd Trump or Harris.
I don't need a supermajority of representatives to say "genocide is bad". Weird that the Democrats seem to still be unable
Sorry, best they can do is standing ovation for Bibi, in the middle of genocide.
"tankies complain a lot!" "The system works but the problem is we don't have the power :smuglord: "
The Democrats had a generational supermajority after Obama was elected and they didn't do anything. Saying they always have an excuse is objectively correct.
Oh they did something. Obama dismantled his grass roots organization and starved state level democrats resulting in the loss of 1,000 seats across the country then gift wrapped two scouts seats and gave them to Satan.
Totally agree. My fav is going to the absolute mat in order to pass a literal GOP healthcare plan which libs will defend to their last gasp.
