Ban it. In my mind, a country that has drug us to war multiple times, attacked our sailors, blatantly sided with a political party over the nation itself, and uses their online disinformation network to push propaganda against us, they are not an allied country in any sense of the word.

Dems wanted to pass a national gerrymandering ban. trump, in his infinite wisdom, told Texas and other red states he wanted more seats and they, in an unprecedented move, redistricted their states mid-decade to placate a despot.

Democrats are countering the gerrymandering republicans started, and you are solely blaming the Democrats for wiping out an illbegotten gain by republicans.

Stop being so pathetic, man. It’s really sad to see someone bend over this far backwards for fucking Nazis.

Easy. Stop every red dollar of aid to the country.

They do have their own land. Israel has stolen it.

Democrats don’t have a king, bucko.

Losing period makes your fight a wasted effort.

Standing by while republicans have wantonly suppressed the vote, deleted voter rolls, and likely literally have stolen elections is what is causing all the fucking issues right now. Dems need to fight fire with fire, then if they win they can ban gerrymandering nationally.

You offer erasure of a people. Nothing more.

I remember. Multiple people from my hs died in that war. But KBR sure as hell drug out the design times for up-armoring humvees to protest people so they could milk the govt for more money.

The moment I’d say your ‘defense’ force was killing women and children in Gaza, your 'settlers 'would try and kill me. Funny how that works huh?

You get no sympathy from me, bub.

Unlike Israelis, I’ve actually lived in a Muslim country, and I was perfectly fine. The only time I saw firearms was when I was at the airport arriving/leaving the country, when I ran into a Bedouin whilst in the desert, and when I saw a member of the royal family travelling and his guards had firearms.

I had zero issues living in a Muslim country for 2 years! Now, tell me. Do Christians and Muslims get treated fairly in Israel?

IDF has probably killed way more children.

Why would I want to go to Israel so a bunch of people will spit at me?

I’ll never understand how there wasn’t riots after that statement.

Sweet enjoy no one listening to you. Have fun on the sidelines.

Jackass? I have a political science degree, sweety.

Dems fund cops more because up until BLM, it was a policy that was bipartisan to do. Now, way more democrats are leery about writing blank checks to cops. Also, were you even alive for the leadup to the Iraq war? Because I was. The democrats were given fake intelligence to justify the war. You expect people to just unilaterally oppose going after the people who attacked us after the biggest attack on the country since Pearl Harbour?

Businesses literally donate to all parties, that’s how shit works in this country. Lemme guess, you sit on the sidelines and want everything to change in the world, and when a politician gives you 50%, 75%, or 40% of what you want, that’s not enough. And then they lose, and now that politician that is now in office will give you 0% of what you want, and you now complain that you’re not being represented.

Here’s some news for you, cupcake. Politics is always about the lesser evil.

If you need to personally be courted, have every view of yours represented, and believe that chasing a plurality of voters is somehow a bad thing, then you’re the problem. Grow up. People who sat off on the sidelines and didn’t vote against the Nazi are just as guilty as those who pulled the lever for trump.

Literally what I’m saying. Launching a rapid response is one thing. Conducting an entire theatre of war is another thing entirely.

I mean, you live in Missouri, man.

You’re not going to get AOC to run in your district. Those people wont win the primaries. I lived in bum-fuck rural Pennsylvania, and people there called me ‘big city boy’ because I moved to that area from the suburbs of fucking Phoenix. And this was like 20 some years ago, so Phoenix was not exactly a big city in the slightest.

A dem like this, means that other more progressive dems have people they can reach out to, and get to vote on legislation that they sponsor.

Even if they vote 75% of the time with an AOC dem, that’s 75% more yes votes than you’ll get from a republican.

They’ll find a reason to pout on the sidelines and cry about how they personally didn’t get their own pony and a flying broom.

Yeah fuck them dems, all they’ve done for people is pass stuff like student loan forgiveness (that SCOTUS fucked with bad logic), legalized gay marriage, made pot legal in Dem states, and a whole lot of other progressive shit, right?

They’re not representing the people at all clearly.

So you’re an accelerationist. Pray tell, why should you be seated at the table to form a new government, when you did not vote to stop the fascists, and when people have tried to stop them all guys like you do is passive aggressively talk about their morals, while doing nothing to stop the nazis?
