1. Republicans enact cruel and stupid policy.

2. Democrats refuse to reform cruel & stupid policy because it benefits their backers. In fact, Dems may even brag about how THEY are even better at it.

3. Cruel & stupid policy predictably backfires - and gets blamed on Democrats who pretend they had no control over anything.

What I suspect is happening is that Trump is attempting to give Democrats an opportunity to get in on DOGE while it still polls well.

They aren’t wounded - they just don’t have actual values or strategy beyond bullying people to vote for them.

Medicade exists so that poor people don’t start demanding single-payer. This will backfire horribly if one’s goal is to maintain the stranglehold private insurance companies have on US healthcare.

Probably cheaper than cancer treatments. If you live in a normal country that has universal healthcare it would be a bargain for the government to purchase such a vaccine in-bulk. Then, with time, the prices would go down.

Of course, of you live in the US … yeah, you’re kinda fucked.

I was rooting for him until the last three words of the headline.

As best I can tell, the most racist zionists are usually American-born Israelis.

I do my best to always use the word Zionist before the word Israeli.

Israel’s secularism is irrelevant to the overall racist ideology of Zionism that permeates Israeli society.

I’m not referring to powerless, mouth-breathing, NEETs who normally lurk forums.

But I’m referring to comments from actual members of the Israeli Knesset, public statements from people like the OP, printed editorials in mainstream publications, and modern Israeli celebrities.

When you read through the translations not meant for western audiences - the racism pops out disturbingly. It’s such a part of their culture that they don’t even notice it as such. Zionists really don’t view people in the West Bank or Gaza as humans.

A few months ago I started using Google Translate to read what Israelis are saying amongst each other in their mainstream publications and forums.

My. God. Levels of entitlement and racism that would make a Klansman blush.

Sure, a lot of them want a cease-fire to get the hostages back … and most don’t like Netanyahu … but the average Israeli Zionist is a racist monster.

Poe’s law is an adage of Internet culture which says that, without a clear indicator of the author’s intent, any parodic or sarcastic expression of extreme views can be mistaken by some readers for a sincere expression of those views.

And they still get most everything they want; whereas when Dems are in charge they have to make up obscure reasons (example: Oh Noe!!! The Parlimentarian won’t let us do it!!!111) why they can’t pass popular legislation.

Those silly commies don’t understand that you have to bail out capitalists when they fail.

Empty threat is empty.

“Life Coach” is a wonderful job for people with spouses who can support them.

Oh! Well nevermind, then.

Please proceed.

More like: “My ancestors ate chickpeas … therefore, that falafel is mine!”

If Biden disagreed with the decision to move the embassy to Jerusalem - why didn’t he move it back to Tel Aviv?

Everything else you listed has no bearing on added support for Israel. Also: Israel oppresses Muslims harsher than anything Trump has proposed, and they actively court evangelicals in the US.

Has Biden done anything to discourage that?

Roe v Wade, Energy policy, SCOTUS … it’s irrelevant when compared to supporting genocide.

What, exactly, will Trump do differently from Biden when it comes to the US-supported genocide? More weapons? More money? More political cover?

Consider: As long as Biden is president Dems aren’t going to get behind stopping the genocide.

So no. When it comes to stopping Israel’s genocide: Trump is an improvement because then at least maybe there will be some change from the Democrats.

I’m not apathetic - I’m realistically describing the situation.

Awwww… isn’t that cute? They really believe they have any kind of leverage, and that they aren’t going to vote Blue No Matter Who no matter what the Dems do.

It’s like watching puppies just before getting being murdered by an IDF sniper.

Thing is: There’s plenty Hamas & related groups did on Oct 7th to enrage a population - no exaggeration is necessary.

However, there ISN’T enough to justify a genocide … especially since Israelis have been torturing Palestinians for decades.

Israel needs to de-humanize the locals to the point where the population can justify an ethnic cleansing. Hence: Ridiculous accusations of using breasts as foot-balls and mass rape.
