Netanyahu really doesn't want these negotiations to come through, does he? How can he go to the hostage families and tell them he's gonna get their relatives back when he bombs the shit out of the country they're hidden in, has blown up and wanted to funnel sea water into the tunnels where they are most likely held (from an outsiders perspective) and now basically shot someone in the face across the negotiating table?
Tell me how that makes sense.
Beside Project 2025 and everything fascist he says and clings to to get elected so he doesn't have to face judgement, you've got got to admit that sometimes he is hilarious. Unintentionally mind you, but still so funny.
Like this could have been an Onion headline or a sketch about how his whole campaign was 'Biden old' and now he's caught with his pants down when Biden is no longer on the ticket. Next up he's gonna claim Biden faked being demented so he could ruin Donalds campaign by dropping out. It's all a conspiracy, folks...
I'd be dumbstruck if Kamala loses this at this point. It's astounding to see how a campaign could swing so hard after such a fumbled debate and a literal assassination attempt.
until it’s too late because it’s a boiling frog situation.
That's a common misconception. If frogs are thrown into boiling water they almost die instantly, if they are placed in a pot that's slowly beginning to boil, they desperately try to escape after a while
I've seen him laugh one time, on a Logan Paul short. It was the oddest thing seeing Donald Trump laugh
“I’ve heard statements [from other soldiers] that the hostages are dead, they don’t stand a chance, they have to be abandoned,” Green noted. “[This] bothered me the most … that they kept saying, ‘We’re here for the hostages,’ but it is clear that the war harms the hostages. That was my thought then; today it turned out to be true.”
This right here low-key bothers me most about the Israeli position. This war isn't about freeing hostages. You wouldn't blow up every building, every Hamas tunnel when you knew that somewhere these hostages have to be held AND you cared about their well-being.
Absolute insanity. When I'm seeing these things around the world and now in Ukraine I'm always trying to see a logical explanation, some twisted cynical reasoning for why you bomb these vulnerable civilian targets, and I can't find anything. It's just cruelty. Ukrainians aren't going to surrender because of this, people and nations never have before. It just makes resistance to your war that much more defiant. If you bomb a childrens hospital, it's just because you want to punish people for not letting you win.
The second part that hurts is that this changes so little in the grand scheme. Maybe some guy who was living under a rock who was skeptical changes his mind about this invasion. But the vast majority of Russian internet propagandists, pro-Russia politicians in parliaments in the EU and around the world and people blinded by Putins lies will find some pathetic excuse to deny and deflect. And in a week the next atrocity occurs somewhere
Trump will end this fucking country if he makes it back into the white house
And the democrats have the audacity to risk it all by setting up a walking corpse as his opponent. This is insane. Biden isn't just stammering, he is incomprehensible at times. And voters can compare Biden with himself four years ago and can imagine what will be his mental state the coming years. He needs to be replaced as soon as possible. Otherwise the DNC is responsible for Americas descent into fascism.
Great, so the left wing isn't that important for a Biden victory. If he loses it's just on him then. This whole post is superfluous
It's still June, it's still months till the election. People still are entitled to voice their opinion about Bidens policies and demand he takes more steps to the left leveraging the only power they have, their vote. If people can't demand better policies now, when there is so much time left for Bidens team to course change, when are they allowed? It's crazy to see these types of posts since the democratic primaries.
As many people in this thread have already pointed out, Joe Biden can enact right wing policy after right wing policy, damaging the support of his core voter base for the slight chance that some Trump fanatic votes for him. But you can't expect him to try to convince left wing people by enacting progressive stuff, even though none of the candidates currently campaign for them?
It's insane that in the US, people on the left at the same time have the power to lose Biden the election by not voting for him and have not enough power to get any attention from him. I believe if Trump wins again, it is entirely on Biden and the DNC that they chose this candidate and this course, not having learned anything in 2016.
