There it is, right on cue.

"Vote for us or we will let the other team kill you"

You do realize that Biden already did order her execution, she just has to go visit her family in Palestine.

For a more concrete example: Justin Amash a former US representative had family members slaughtered by Israel in a church bombing in Gaza and Biden didn't care. https://www.newsweek.com/former-congressman-family-killed-gaza-church-blast-1836649

Hopefully some Arab countries can be on the list soon. Maybe one day a train trip could be possible. Imagine from West Asia to East Asia by high speed rail...

I am sure the ~~pro-genocide~~ pro-Harris voters will have reasonable and respectful things to say about this.

American military and intelligence officials have concluded that the war in Ukraine is no longer a stalemate as Russia makes steady gains, and the sense of pessimism in Kyiv and Washington is deepening.

So what's next? A Vietnam and Afghanistan style rapid collapse of the US-supported government? Something entirely different?

1975 Fall of Saigon

2021 Fall of Kabul

202X Fall of Kyiv...?

It must be quite the shocking turn of events for those who were convinced Ukraine was going to win.

“The only garbage I see floating out there is his supporters,” Biden said

Putting aside that no president should say that about the citizens of their country even if there is some truth to it, I don't think Harris will lose any votes over this. People made up their mind months ago, I made up mine a year ago. There can't be people who haven't made up their mind yet.

Thank you.

The threat of a widespread conflict in the Middle East has shifted attention from Ukraine. Western fatigue with the war in Ukraine is real, “and increasingly so,” the foreign minister of Finland told the Financial Times recently.

I guess we have our answer to who has more patience. Though I expected this. Russia's political system allows more long term planning and commitments. In liberal democracies policies can change abruptly depending on who wins the election.

A tangential question, AIPAC-aside which is more important to the US: Eastern Europe or West Asia?

To me it seems Ukraine should have been a strategic priority for the US and not Israel, if it weren't for AIPAC influence, or is controlling the Eastern Mediterranean a priority for the US regardless?

I remember being called a Russian troll for asking the obvious, "why would Russia blow its own pipeline?"

The archive of the article is incomplete. I wish I could read this quote in the full context, damning as it is.

 

Democrats aren't attacking Jill Stein because they think she is taking votes from Kamala Harris. No one I know who's voting Green would consider a vote for Harris at this point. They're attacking Jill Stein because they don't want voters to know that there can be a worker-centered party to the left of the Democrats that supports popular policies like Medicare for All, a $25 wage and federally guaranteed housing.

There are 80+ million eligible voters who don't vote at all because they don't see the point. Democrats are okay with this, in fact, they don't want any candidate to their left to appeal to those voters with popular policies.

The fact that the Green Party exists shows that the Democrats aren't pushing the most progressive policies. Jill Stein's candidacy shows that it's possible to support reproductive justice AND be against funding and arming a genocide. That we can end homelessness if we stopped funding endless wars around the globe.

Democrats don't want anyone to the left of them to exist because it's the only way they can convince Americans that Dem policies are "the best that we can do". To Dems, anything else is just "asking for a pony".

Don't fall for it. Despite Dem's desire to have you think otherwise, things don't have to be this way.

Another world is possible.

O'odham Woman Becomes Hero When Genocide Joe Comes to Town

By Brenda Norrell, Censored News, Oct. 25, 2024

"In the #GilaRiver Indian Community today, Biden claimed to be issuing an apology to #NativeAmerican children who were victims of U.S. #BoardingSchools. His glory campaign was short-lived.

"As Biden spoke, an O'odham woman held up this sign: 'There Are Still Babies in Mass Graves. Your Apology Means Nothing!! #LandBack!'

"Calling out to Biden, she said, 'What about the people in #Gaza! What about the people in #Palestine?'

"'How can you apologize for a #genocide while actively committing a genocide in Palestine! #FreePalestine.'

"Security removed her."
