    I’m just saying this whole argument of progressives and Dems and RINOs and stupid shit is part of why there is no actual progress.

    A) their job is to represent their voters. Not enforce their own opinions

    B) progressives consume each other like crabs in a bucket while terrible politicians don’t care and move ahead

      Democratic voters don’t support Israel anymore, so she’s actually going against her voters to cast this vote.

        You’ve spoken to every single one of them?

        Because that’s not true I literally know them

          I’ve seen polls. 🙄

          71 percent of likely Democratic primary voters say that the U.S. should end its arms transfers to Israel until it “stops attacks on civilians in Gaza, supports Palestinian rights, and commits to a long-term peace process.”

          After a decade in which Democrats have shown increasing affinity toward the Palestinians, their sympathies in the Middle East now lie more with the Palestinians than the Israelis, 49% versus 38%.

          Also, let’s not ignore Zohran Mamdani winning his primary.

          Times have changed. Democrats aren’t Zionists and she’s voting against what her voters want.

              Cutting off the Iron Dome is good. Israel would not be able to wage genocide if they had to worry about being hit.

                In your opinion.

                Half you bozos here believe Russia was forced to invade another country.

                  So, it’s your opinion that Israel doesn’t need the Iron Dome to act the way it’s acting?

                    I’m saying that’s not the path to a solution.

                    On one hand that just galvanized more aggression and people wanna act like there is no more aggression that can be had, there is.

                    I also think much like the country I live in, most of us don’t like our government and I think poor people are always the weapon. Israeli kids are now getting killed too, their government isn’t going to change its tone over that.

                    And on top of it all, look at these comments. None of these people understand what is being voted for, all they see is the headline. This entire thread is full of people who pride themselves on knowing, being smart, being confident in their opinion. Yet none of them thought to consider MTG is what she always is, a baboon banging the drum for attention while getting nothing done.

                    This bill was never going to be stopped, that’s the truth. The US will never not supply Israel. What is the REAL solution to that honestly? I think that’s what people are trying to figure out. Governments make money conducting genocides and building weapons to justify more genocides. What are we gonna do about that?

                    Well I dunno but it certainly isn’t drowning ever progressive when they misstep or you disagree with them.

              She’s already getting called out by a human rights lawyer for complicity in genocide. Way to go. https://x.com/CraigMokhiber/status/1946593970148249744

                Ahh now that it fits the division you seek you’re all about human rights lawyers but once they talk about subjects hexbear doesn’t like it’s all color revolution and slander?

                I disagree but again that’s politics. I think it’s easy to throw shit from the audience but when it comes to navigating these things it’s far more than just ideals and instead of progress we drag any sense of it through the mud because it’s imperfect.

                Y’all had a different tune to play when Ukraine was unfolding

                  “I am wrong but you are .ml”.

                  Great argument. You get to support genocide now.
