2006 made me suspicious of the Democrats forever. Pelosi and the party ran on defunding the Iraq War, then promptly dropped it upon taking office.

I DID primary for Obama because he was promising a public healthcare option. We all know how that turned out: he ultimately championed a Republican scheme to entrench private insurers. Democrats failed to support their party's signature policy proposal when it mattered.

While Obama expanded the Bush wars...

That's when I gave up all hope in the party making any progress or acting in good faith. They haven't given me any reason to rethink that stance.

Sorry your efforts and enthusiasm were wasted and abused by the DNC...

I recall the Coffee Party having a moment, a nationwide movement planned meetups all coordinated. In Asheville, I attended. the meetup was crashed by Obama's Organizing for America, and I later learned that they crashed meetups everywhere.

I remember the smooth-talking guy and how he hijacked the meeting as we were making real progress. Fuck Obama and fuck the DNC

Blue MAGA isn't a thing but "Blue No Matter Who (unless it's Bernie)" is a thing

Biden and Blinken happily continued supplying the weapons even while State Department personnel expressed concerns. Stop acting like Biden was a good guy. "I am a Zionist" is an actual Biden quote https://www.propublica.org/article/israel-gaza-america-biden-administration-weapons-bombs-state-department

Stop trying to turn this into a Trump v. Biden issue. It isn't. US policy is always appeasing Israel. Biden was just the latest in line.

Again, any attempt to shield Biden from responsibility is a lie. Stop with your partisan Biden defense. You're defending war crimes and genocide 🤡

Democrats don't even promise anything anymore. Not since 2008

"Biden didn't give anything" is not true. You just said it yourself l: "he allowed sale to go through"

Yes, money is approved by Congress. That's the point. The administration and the Congress, both parties, are bought and paid for by AIPAC.

No other country gets no-strings-attached cash and weapons from the US.

Republicans didn't exterminate Gazan children; a Democratic administration enabled Israel and tried to ban the only social media platform that allowed people to honestly talk about it. Joe Biden and the Democrat leadership have children's blood on their hands

You're actually just lying. Fuck off with this bullshit.

So the Biden administration just gave them stuff they didn't need??? For what???

"Hey guys, please stop killing Gazan children. Pretty please? Oh, if you don't stop, I'll have to keep sending you weapons and billions in cash right up to my last week in office. Don't worry, I have an army of idiots on the internet who will defend me even when it makes no sense."

Ah, well, it's all very dorky but compelling if you're into niche YouTube podcast drama

So he was trying to end it by not withholding the one thing that gave him leverage over the situation?

Listen to yourself

Hi totally off topic but I saw your username. are you a fan of Nobody Likes Onions? Are you following the Nick Rekieta drama with Steel Toe?

Wha?

Any time I criticized Biden admin for giving arms to Israel, I was told "he's trying to end it" or "just vote Harris"

I criticized Harris for not making herself meaningfully different from Biden on the genocide issue. People here told me to shut up and stop complaining about it. People here even said I was in a minority for caring so much about Gaza and that it didn't matter that much
