We are constantly told that solutions to some of the greatest challenges facing poor and working class people in the U.S. do not exist. Meanwhile, billions taxpayer dollars are being used to fund the genocide of Palestinians.

That very money could have ended homelessness in the United States.

Money for our needs, not the U.S.-Israeli war machine!

the sooner we change things; the less violent it will be.

this is the most succinct argument illustrating the issue that I've seen so far, kudos!

unfortunately for us we've doing it for around 100 years so far so violence is already a guarantee.

the best we can do is minimize it; but an overwhelming majority hold a similar opinion to the one you shared and are acting upon it by voting for politicians whose actions are in direct contradiction to that minimization.
