Someone like a president can’t really do something like this without completely burning their political capital.

If only we had a president who is never going to hold office again and has nothing to lose right now… Damn our current pres is nothing like that

Trump is an evil bigot but yeah even a broken clock is right twice a day. I can’t stand people who dismiss or demonize an argument for the sole reason that it has been voiced by trump.

I don’t think anyone on those tankers deserved to die but I also know that the hundreds of thousands killed in Gaza (and the West Bank) didn’t deserve to die. Yemen is putting up a blockade and saying we will keep doing this until the genocide stops. It might be ugly but its a good cause and theyre the only country taking a stand. I applaud that. No shipping from anywhere to anywhere should go through the gulf of aden until the mass slaughter ends

A cheaper ev hitting us market would impact what americans can buy,

So trumps tariff plan could get us making things in America again or no? It seems like workers had a lot more power and therefore higher wages before america de-industrialized and that was a better thing for the average person but I don’t know I wasn’t around then

If it stops goods from getting to Israel then it’s a successful blockade, which does hurt Israel

Are they carrying goods destined for Israel?

Except for all those ships they’ve attacked that aren’t going to Israel, or controlled by Israel, or even have anything vaguely to do with Israel and her allies.

Source? I thought they were only attacking ships that dock in/ship to Israel?

Also, have they killed/indefinitely detained anyone? Or just cause property damage?

So you’ll happily vote for Trump if he’s running against someone worse? I feel like eventually you have to draw a line somewhere

So If I want to help the people being genocided, I have to vote for the person doing the genocide and just hope that she has the Intention of changing things in the future even though she has shown zero signs of having that intention.

This “democracy” isn’t worth saving

The only two real options are both pro genocide, pro military industrial complex which tells me this country is fucked there’s nothing I can do to help that. All I can do is follow my conscience and my conscience won’t let me rest if I vote for genocide

The harris campaign is openly hostile to the anti-war anti-genocide vote. They are not interested in trying to get our votes. If they make the calculation that they need the anti-war vote to win they will try to appeal to us but they have decided (so far) that they don’t want us and don’t need us.

Don’t blame us for not voting for a candidate who doesn’t want our vote and is actively hostile to our position.

I’ll rewind since you apparently have short term memory loss and can’t use the “show context” button.

I commented:

This post is sponsored by Lockheed, Raytheon, and AIPAC

Then you responded:

This comment is sponsored by Russia, China, and Iran.

Then I said:

It must be the fault of foreigners right? Because no “true American” can be critical of our own country’s military industrial complex?

Then you had a memory wipe apparently and started writing paragraphs about something else instead of addressing anything that I wrote

What are you being critical of?

The American military industrial complex. That’s what I said in the comment you’re responding to.

It must be the fault of foreigners right? Because no “true American” can be critical of our own country’s military industrial complex?

Dems have fully transitioned into Bush era Republicans

Zionist pigs lie, more at eleven

If that were the case, we wouldn’t be talking about people on the right endorsing someone to their left.

Harris isnt to the left of Reagan or cheney, thats my point

The long term effects of voting “lesser of 2 evils” pushes everyone to the right.

I’m not willing to get pushed anymore, if you are then just accept that you’re center-right or far-right at this point. I’m not, I’m a leftist and I’m going to stay a leftist
