      Biden and Harris are not it if you want to push Democrats and the country left. They aren’t as far right as Trump and his buddies, but the are left of center but pretty classic Democrats. Bernie was the guy to push things left, but the Democrats rejected him. Without a good progressive candidate in place to challenge in the primary, we won’t see that push left. This election it’s Harris as the best bet for keeping Republicans from doing serious long term damage to this country.

        They’re literally arming a genocide.

          Keep telling yourself Trump is the answer, we’ll go through another national disaster that takes out 2% of the world’s population.

            I’m not voting for Trump so I’m not sure what this has to do with anything.

    The US’s currently level of military aid is unsustainable, even for the most wealthy empire in history. Domestic production has been showing signs of not being able to keep up for a while now.

    I see some of the earlier spending during the Cold War. Seems we saw the writing on the wall before the collapse.

    Palestine gets about $500 percapita in foreign aid, annually. Israel was around $200 last I checked.

      Buddy, taking this chart alone (17.9b) and the wikipedia population of israel (9.842m), we get close to 2000 per capita.

      You mean in military aid or are you trying to muddy the waters? Humanitarian aid is the opposite of military aid. Without the military aid to Israel, it may be they don’t need as much in Palestine.
