It's unfortunate that Israel owns POTUS... apparently...

u/giantyetifeet Nov 04 '24
It's weird because they also own Trump. And they definitely prefer Trump to win. 🤷

Not weird if you consider the possibility that they contribute a lot to both parties's primary campaigns, so they get to choose the nominees (or at least reject any that might question them).

They get to choose lol.
Just edit that part of your comment out… better yet delete the whole thing.

No we own Israel and unfortunately like a bad dog or a shitty child, we are responsible for it.
Just letting a bad dog off the leash while it’s aggressive or just letting a shitty kid run around while it’s acting up is just bad for everyone.

No we own
If that were true, they'd be paying the US taxes (like when the UK owned the American colonies).
Instead, the US is paying for their universal healthcare.

u/lordoftheBINGBONG Nov 05 '24
Right just like you pay for something that you own. We pay for all of NATOs free healthcare too so they own us as well?

u/heheratorixfan Nov 05 '24
It's weird how Israel has become such an important topic for US politics. And how they can do everything, and they are backed by the US, and then also have such a powerful lobby, which is funding for only pro Israeli politicians to get to power in the US. Receiving money from the US for just existing. US starting wars just for Israel, and so much more. I wonder who owns who.

u/smoresporn0 Nov 05 '24
It's not weird at all. It's a Western imperialist outpost in the middle east, this is exactly what it was designed to do. And we will keep paying handsomely to maintain it.

To be fair anyone with deep pockets enable to sway the pendulum of democracy in the United States. This is nothing new, Russia owns the green party, Israel uses APAC to regin in politicians feom all sides. China, Russia and Iran constantly wage hacking and disinformation campaigns.
There is no perfect choice but I for one have decided to look at the whole picture and come to the conclusion that my own nihilism will not help carve a path for future generations.
There is avery high chance of this being the last election in your lifetime. While I won't say how to vote I will kindly implore you to do so, for if we don't the great experiment that is the United States will cease.
With it will all of the progress that has been seen will be washed away in a dystopian fever dream unmatched by any other.

I hear yah.
While my support has traditionally swung to both parties in the past, I can assure you that I am pretty against the fascist-theocracy (among other things) vibe going on.

The United States has been in a state of perpetual war since Vietnam. This is not a new and driven by the military-industrial complex, which perpetuates unspeakable horrors for profit, domination, and control.
This being said it is imperative that we prevent conditions from getting worse. From where I stand, we must contribute to change, and resist being seduced by apathy. Every small effort matters. It is our responsblity to empower each other and pave a path forward safeguarding the rights of future generations.

Bring the hostages home?
Even the fucking Israelis don't want the hostages home. They've been bombing the shit out of them.

u/JumpingCicada Nov 05 '24
Anyone who doesn't see it at this point is blind. There are so many reports from Israeli soldiers saying that they were told to not care about hostages nor civilians behind any buildings and just blow them them up with tank shells.

Well the other guy is definitely not going to support Palestine in any way shape or form, so what choice do they really have?

u/mattbladez Nov 05 '24
Unfortunately not everyone comes to this conclusion. They think that if they don’t vote they can’t be held responsible for what happens next.
I’d vote if I could but the whole “being Canadian” thing really doesn’t help.

u/winningdraggon69 Nov 05 '24
Israel stopped pretending to care about the hostages months ago. They occupy all of Gaza; if they wanted to take back the hostages, they would have.

"The final stages of Kamala Harris’s campaign for the US presidency have included a push to win over voters who may turn away from her because of US support for the war on Gaza.

They are both jokes. Orange dude is straight up evil, and republicans are just insane, but the dems are a party of cowards.
Kamala is obviously a better choice though. Shouldn’t need to be said.
It must suck for Americans to have to vote for the lesser evil all the time because voting for any of the other candidates will end up favoring the conservatives, and lots of people will suffer if they get the power.

Don’t know why you’re being downvoted. Biden is the current president and we are seeing his policy backing Israel’s warcrimes.

Gaza is not the only issue as an American we have to worry about. What about saving our democracy, defeating a racist, cheater and woman abuser!

Gotta get that Muslim vote! None of them want the conflict to end. War is business and the business is good.

Rage bait comment. Move along. The only "business" doing well in this is the American weapons sales.

u/Beezelbub_is_me Nov 04 '24
The people in power don’t care about us. The parties are two sides to the same coin. They don’t even have platforms anymore just identity politics.

u/chuc16 Nov 04 '24
The parties are clearly different. Their policy, priorities and actions are dramatically dissimilar
A lot of very wealthy folks spend a lot of money to make you apathetic about democracy. The less you care, the more influence they have

u/Beezelbub_is_me Nov 04 '24
I’m not apathetic and I grew up in politics. Are they though? They tell you what you want to hear

u/chuc16 Nov 04 '24
Yeah, that's called politics
We aren't picking the "perfect leader". We're picking the person we want to protest for the next for years
I'd prefer not to be black bagged by a dictator for trying

u/Beezelbub_is_me Nov 04 '24
I’ve been voting for the lesser of two evils since I was eighteen. It’s depressing. The democrats have changed so much since then as have the republicans. Imagine if we had the social media of today back when we invaded Iraq. I got in deep shit at school for talking about how none of the hijackers in 911 were Iraqi….. Now we should respect a Cheneys opinion?
9
u/chuc16 Nov 04 '24
Harris invited Cheney to campaign events to show that even the most conservative politicians see Trump as such a threat to democracy that they have overlooked policy differences to endorse Harris. They literally said that on stage, multiple times
Keep voting for the lesson of two evils. It works

u/DontchaKnowNoGood Nov 04 '24
She asked why would she vote for Harris? Does she think Trump will do better? Trump has already said Isreal should do whatever it wants to do. He wouldn't help Palestine unless they paid him billions. So what is her real option? Vote Harris and hope the war will end soon? Or vote Trump and watch Palestine be wiped off the face of the earth?

u/Unusual_Specialist58 Nov 05 '24
We know with Harris we’ll get more of the same which is saying one thing to try to appease people while doing the opposite and continuing unconditional support for Israel.
We are less sure about how Trump would handle it. He says he wants peace in the Middle East. He’s obviously also an Israel supporter but it seems like he would be more likely to strong arm Netanyahu into working towards peace.

Cheap talk a day before the election when her admin can't decide if North Gazans even deserve food.

u/deadleg22 Nov 05 '24
I just get sick of any reference to these hostages, many of which have been killed by Israel. Israel doesn't give a shit about them and that shows by the indiscriminate bombing and the killing of their own people on October 7th. Also there was something like ~300 hostages, that's fucking nothing compared to the 200k (probably more) innocent people Israel has killed.

u/pealsmom Nov 05 '24
I am going to respect the Muslim lawmakers who deeply understand that the only argument that makes sense is to vote for the candidate, Harris, who is most likely to be moved in the right direction. I believe that Harris is saying what she has to say to get elected - which is the really unfortunate part. For the last 76 years, presidents and candidates for president have had to de facto support Israel in order to win. This election is no different, but I can see a very near future where it is different and we could have some nuance in the conversation.
I also don’t appreciate how this woman is somehow being blamed for a decision that her male boss has made and continues to make. She is part of his administration and has to outwardly support his administrations policies, but she was not on the tarmac hugging Bibi. That was Joe.
