Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) today announced Senate votes on his two Joint Resolutions of Disapproval (JRDs) to block the sale of $8.8 billion in U.S. bombs and other munitions to Israel, including more than 35,000 massive 2,000-pound bombs. Floor debate on Sanders’ JRDs will begin around 1:30 p.m. ET, subject to change based on the Senate schedule.
Tell that to Harris.
If you’re buying the democratic system of a country as big as the US, of course, you’ll allow the illusion of choice. Otherwise, you lose your soft power and your ability to shape the division among the people.
Democrats were never trying to get reelected. They were in on it with the Republicans.
Harris may not have been the mastermind behind such a political strategy, but she was certainly in the know. Biden was senile from the start, anyone with a functioning brain would have expected that running for a second term was doomed from the beginning. They offered no solutions, rushed Harris’s campaign without due process, had no meaningful platform, and their endorsements were sickening and outright stupid.
Believing it was a fair election is naive, it’s like believing trump’s words and actions are his own.
There are powerful players in this political game whose names we will never know. They manipulate both sides, using politicians as mere faces to craft an alternative reality that serves their agenda.
We must stop falling into their cheap traps.

Unfortunately, there are lots of ostriches in this thread who are going to think I’m promoting accelerationism, trump dictatorship, or putin.

It’s referred to as Escalation of Commitment (at least in business school).
Some people have a really hard time admitting when they’ve been wrong. Especially if they feel tricked/bamboozled. So instead, they double down with their original premise. In other words, there’s just no convincing someone who doesn’t have an open mind.
Who?
Exactly.
Harris lost because she offered no real economic change. Most voters didn’t care about the genocide, or voted for even more genocide. For all we know, Harris might have lost by even more without AIPAC campaign contributions.
While her economic plan wasn’t strong, it did exist. The more telling thing, though, is that a lot of leftists decided that Trump would somehow be better for Gazans than Harris, and decided to “stick it to the dems” by either not voting or going for Trump.
And now those people are silent lol
A lot of centrists decided that trump was preferable to ending their support for genocide.
