US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said Saturday that he had signed a declaration to expedite delivery of approximately $4 billion in military assistance to Israel, in what he cast as US President Donald Trump’s rejection of restrictions placed by predecessor Joe Biden.
The Trump administration, which took office on January 20, has approved nearly $12 billion in major foreign military sales to Israel, Rubio said in a statement, adding that it “will continue to use all available tools to fulfill America’s long-standing commitment to Israel’s security, including means to counter security threats.”
“I can’t vote for Kamala because she won’t condemn Israel”
Now there is this instead 🤦🤷
The fact she could not condemn Israel is very telling…
The actions are the same as they’ve been for the past year and half. On Gaza, both sides are disgusting.
I know there has to be a non zero number of people who thought this way, but I have to wonder how much of this sentiment was stirred up by say Russian bots and paid bad faith actors.
I’m getting the same vibes now when I see all the “bold of you to assume there will be elections”, without fail on any post or comment that brings up the next elections. Trying to drive this idea and normalize it.
Like how advertising works, eventually a percentage of people who have seen Cola Brand ads enough times will want to buy Cola Brand.
That’s not excuse though.
According to the words Vance said in EU, if a democracy is threatened by digital advertising, then it is not a strong democracy.
If your argument is true, and a vote can be biased by the amount of times a voter watches an advertisement, then elections are simply a matter of who has the most money.
Other countries have rules about these things, like how long before an election they can start advertising, they have to show where the money for it came from, they prohibit money from abroad to be used in campaigns, they have to say what party paid for the add etc.
USA is actively working against these rules and calling it the right of free speech.
usa@lemmy.ml is curated bad faith arguments (from recent weeks experience). We have that here as well.
Maybe next time Democrats will run a better candidate, rather than losing to Trump…again.
Did you not notice hom many hundreds of millions in donations they raked in? Huge success as far as leadership is concerned! You may rest assured that they will continue to lurch along the center as long as the money is rolling in.
Yup, BidenSoOld and KamalaJustAsBad arguments were (and are) prevalent.
Many have still learned absolutely nothing, instead proclaiming it is the Democrats that have learned nothing as icing on the cake.
I mean…dems haven’t learned anything. They still are trying to say it’s because they went too far left when in reality they keep pushing right trying to chase some ethereal version of a center-right Republican voter.
They need to go back to the version of themselves where they are actually a party of the working class. Instead, we’re still witnessing them chasing dollars.
Biden sent 20 billion last August and then sent an other 8 billion less then two months ago as one of the last things he did in office.
They are just as bad on gaza.
It seems backwards to blame voters instead of the party that stomped on their own election.
The actual icing is the fact that the dems actually had to “learn” that genocide isn’t okay. And while they huddle up and think of the best way to lose the next election, we have to actually eat the icing and it taste like shit.
But yeah, keep blaming anyone but the ones that are actually in charge of the platform and what they run on.
Kamala just as bad arguments exist because Kamala campaigned on being the same as Biden. If she didn’t want to be perceived as being the same as him, why did the campaign on being the same as him?
