Democracy rule
(lemmy.ml)
I need y'all to understand: Biden isnt losing votes from the far left. He never had those votes, and could never get them.
He's losing the votes of Muslims and Arabs in Michigan and Philly. He's losing the votes of moderates who are watching Israel's final solution in horror. He's losing the votes of Latinos and Haitians who see the southern border is getting more militarized and more violent every year
[Edit] to be 100% clear: If you oppose Israel's war on Palestine, but plan on voting for Biden this November,this post isn't about you.
That's because in the past, when the US finally thought Israel went too far, they would directly pressure Israel to stop. Carter did it. Regan did it. Biden could have done it, but he didn't - either deliberately or through incompetence, it doesn't matter. He continued sending arms to Israel and vetoing enforceable security council resolutions without using ANY of the enormous leverage the US gov has over Israel.
Do you not see the absurdity of rushing arms to a country committing genocide and claiming you oppose the genocide because you abstained from a resolution with no real enforcement possibility? It's a sick fucking joke
Carter and Reagan didn’t have Russia, China and Iran spreading talking points to pressure the US to stop supporting Israel.
If your enemies are trying to pressuring you to do something, it’s normal to resist that pressure while you try to figure out what they are up to.
That's a pretty weak argument, nearly every state is calling for an end to genocide.
What talking points these entities have been spreading this time? I haven't heard any tangible thing from neither Russia nor China, that would warrant an unconditional support for Israel by the US. Only Iran has been notably active in this matter, but even that is via proxies and not directly towards Israel's land integrity. US could just simply anchor their carrier strikes groups and no other action would be needed. How does that justify giving out tonnes of heavy destruction bombs to Israel?
