2% of what exactly?

I mean that's how Obama won his first term so probably yes.

Elections don't negate the most corrupt governments in the world.

I mean yes they do have a massive corruption problem, and (this is important) they're working on it. And either way it remains a fact that they have a much more democratic government than Russia.

Uh.... Here you go.

Ukraine is a free and fair democracy??

Literally yes? How do you think Zelensky, a comedy actor, got elected?

Israel have been aggressively expanding in the West Bank since October 7, and intensified their campaign at around the same time they started the war with Lebanon. There are no red lines.

So first, I can't actually find anything about this except Smotrich pushing for annexation so do you have a source that says they're going to go forward with annexation? Now second, Smotrich started yapping about annexing West Bank settlements (not the whole West Bank; if Israel did that they'd have to give Palestinians rights) literally a day or two after the election, meaning he already had plans for something similar before then. You don't just wake up and start taking steps towards annexing an occupied territory that's not how that works.

I see the next chapter in the FlyingSquid saga has started.

I mean there were Republicans opposed to one of his appointments (don't remember who) and you only need four of them to side with the Democrats to get a majority.

Even if she took zero steps towards the goal, that's infinitely preferable to Trump's pushing for annexation of the occupied territories and dismantling the Palestinian Authority.

Normally I'd agree with that, but in the context of the current Israeli genocide that's straight up untrue, because doing nothing is allowing Israel to annex the occupied territories. That's literally what they're doing right now. You can't say "but the status quo could get worse" when the status quo is the worst things can realistically get. What Trump supports is what Israel is doing and Biden is allowing and Harris promised she'd allow.

Also, Israel wouldn't dismantle the PA until they're finally done annexing the West Bank, because the PA are their convenient puppets who if anything hamper Palestinian resistance. Hell, if they dismantled the PA maybe we'd see real resistance from the West Bank again (hence why they won't do that until they're near the end of their colonial project).

I mean he is to an extent. Everyone is talking like the fascist project in America is finished, but it's not and there's no guarantee they'll be able to complete it. That said it's mostly Congress doing the heavy lifting here; there are enough sane Republicans that Trump wouldn't be able to get away with some of the more outrageous stuff.

I don't know anything about this so I can't say anything concrete, but see if you can gather community support for the strike. If more people help there's a lot more you can do.
