It boggles my mind that the only national newspaper opinion columnist to say the truth about the president's complicity in the intentional and criminal starvation of over a million people is fucking Nicholas Kristof.
I guess I would ask you what the damage would be if/when Trump was in office. He loves Netanyahu. I would think he would stand firm with Netanyahu. The damage would be far worse in Palestine.
They are already dropping bombs nearly as fast as America can provide them, and they are already seeing the world turning against them in way they won't repair.
What specifically do you think would be different? Gaza is already destroyed. The UN estimated it will take 40-80 years to rebuild.
Yes, this is the real reason Biden is unfit for office and not a peep about it in MSM. This is the reason why I decided long ago he's not fit to hold office.
I think he stopped really absorbing new information--and especially new frameworks for understanding international and domestic relations--long ago. Like, in the mid-1990 when he was in the Senate with his GOP besties.
I've no delusions about the fact that things can get worse but it's little comfort, in fact none at all given the present state of things and the incumbent's virtually unconditional support for starvation and displacement. My cousin Abdullah who fled Rafah three weeks ago certainly isn't comforted.
Right. I agree. I have students from Palestine. Their father would go back there all the time. That family was the kindest family I have ever met. It’s a travesty that the population has to suffer because of a violent group
One more advantage to Biden bailing is that Genocide Joe leaves the stage and new policy can be set. I'll take Newsom. Harris is too compromised, and for all the wrong reasons can't be elected in today's US.
All are viable when one considers Trump would crush Biden. Heard a white male journalist on MSNBC spread the canard 'black women are the soul of the Democratic Party,' so they must not bypass Harris. Does an Indian/Jamaican deserve their support? If race is their only issue, maybe.
Is the plan viable though? To get funding? To get workers. To get on all the ballots.
I haven’t seen anytime explain how that would work if it’s anyone other than Harris.
Unfortunately for Kamala, whom I backed in '20, lives in a country that is still WAY too immature to elect a brown woman as president. Just my opinion.
I'd roll the dice happily against a McCain or a Romney... but not with Shitgibbon. It's existential now.
They have funding, they have workers... and all Biden needs to do is pick the new ticket. We haven't even NOMINATED yet FFS. "Too Late" is when Biden has another senior moment in mid-October. That's the defination of 'too late'.
The only viable plan is one Joe endorses, like it or not, as he has ALL the delegates. He can't be pushed out by the DNC or any poll if he doesn't want to be.
Hopefully the plan he picks is to step back, organize another ticket his delegates will support, announce he's not running, bingo. Lets go!.
I know very few who don't regret a previous marriage, so that she went off the deep end and made a fool of herself is on her, no one else... but that's just me. And hundreds of millions of others, of course.
Besides, what does 'compromised' even mean any more in the age of Shitgibbon?
In Harris' case IMO it means that she ran in '20 and flamed out. It hurt, bc I supported her, but she demonstrated that she wasn't then ready for prime time. Truth hurts. Now, again IMO, the US is not mature enough to elect a brown woman to be POTUS. Against any other Repuke I'd gamble. Trump, no.
Gavin Newsom is spectacularly unpopular in his own state and won't be able to win any purple state BECAUSE OF his state. It's not 1992, you can't just install a haircut into national office.
She can do whatever she wants. If Newsom's even on the ticket it won't cost him a single vote or win him one either. He's never lost an election, and she's a distant bump in his rearview mirror.
We all have made poor personal choices, and given the stakes anyone will be attacked for something
I mean, you don’t think it’s a problem if she talks openly about his infidelity? I know it seems unfair, but Democrats get held to a higher standard about this kind of thing (see: Cunningham, Cal).
