The United States has announced the approval of the sale of more than $7.4bn in bombs, missiles and related equipment to Israel, which has used American-made weapons to devastating effect during the war in Gaza.
The state department has signed off on the sale of $6.75bn in bombs, guidance kits and fuses, in addition to $660m in Hellfire missiles, according to the US Defense Security Cooperation Agency (DSCA).
The proposed sale of the bombs “improves Israel’s capability to meet current and future threats, strengthen its homeland defense, and serves as a deterrent to regional threats”, the DSCA said in a statement.
I wonder if you will keep rehashing the election even as people are being loaded into boxcars?
“I told you trans people to vote third party, but you had to vote for Kamala, didn’t you? Bye-bye!”
It certainly seems that way on .world lately.
I knew what the comments were going to be in this thread before I even opened it.
They think there will be another legitimate election and I don’t know why they think that in the face of the mountain of evidence that America is now a fascist one-party state with that party being above the law.
Yeah, you probably saw the article yesterday about the head of the FEC. They tried to fire her and of course Musk is trying to get into all of those systems.
The only way the US is going to ever have fair elections again is after a lot of bloodshed. And possibly restructuring as a new nation.
Federal IT is basically fucked. The whole system would need to be replaced to get rid of all of the back doors Musk is installing.
Elections are over. Gtfo or figure out how to stay safe if you have to (I’m in the later camp, can’t afford to move and hard to get a passport anyway being trans)
The Democrats seemed quite fine with risking Trans people to be loaded into boxcars. Also many people immediately lasged out at ethnic minorities and queer people for not supporting the Democrats as strongly.
For the DNC they only got some considerations, when they were useful for power. Now that they didnt grant it, they got tossed aside.
Case in point all the D-Representatives now helping to vote Trump officials into elected government positions.
I guess the answer is yes, you will keep rehashing the election even as people are being loaded into boxcars.
I mean “what the fuck happened in November 2024” is an important question to answer if you’re ever going to stop people from being loaded into boxcars.
Except people aren’t rehashing it to learn, everyone is just rehashing things to assign blame.
Fuck, Republicans had their whole postmortem and even they managed to learn and now control all three branches of government.
Many people are rehashing it in defense, because these posts always start with assigning blame for not voting in Harris.
It would be great if the Democratic Party started running a more popular platform and won the election by something other than begrudging lesser-of-two-evils votes. Obama’s first term showed how powerful that could be.
Hopefully the Democratic Party has learned that bringing a status-quo to a populist fight isn’t a good idea, but I’m not holding my breath on that anymore.
That’s fair, but I think you can’t have one without the other. I mean assigning blame as an end in and of itself is pretty unproductive, but I still do believe that there’s something to be gained from those conversations as people use them as springboards to figure out the question of what the fuck to do about this. Shutting down conversations about the election is just not the way to go if your goal is to eventually defeat fascism.
Really? How?
Because one thing (holding your nosed and uniting behind the Democrats) was tried, and miserably failed. If you don’t know why it failed you’ll never know how to do better, or even if it is possible to do better. I guess my point is that those who don’t learn from the past are doomed to repeat it, and y’all really can’t afford a repeat of this election.
You seem to be operating under the ludicrous assumption that there will ever be non-Russian style elections in the U.S. again.
You seem to also be operating under the ludicrous assumption that Republicans will ever give up power willingly now that they control all three branches of government.
No wonder you want to keep talking about the election. You think nothing has changed.
Keep acting like America isn’t a fascist dictatorship right now. Be sure you tell all the brown and queer people that they have nothing to worry about too.
My god.
I think the way forward is to get away from both Republicans and Democrats and bring people into power, who are not part of either. Going back to the Democrats is not going to make things better again. Another example for that is the migration and deportation policies of Biden, which were mostly a continuation of Trumps policies.
Dont ever talk to me again I hate you i hate you I just wanted to be friends with you And you made fun of me Also im sorry, i said that about u jews and im sorry Dont make fun of me meanie 😡
