Commiunism

The resolutions are not likely to pass; even if they did pass the heavily pro-Israel Congress, they would likely be vetoed by President Joe Biden, who has been insistent on sending weapons to Israel with no strings attached.

Yeah, this is an absolute shame. He tried doing something similar shortly after the genocide had started, but everyone else currently in power just shut him down almost unanimously.

If politics and getting into power wasn't 90% based on your wealth and connections, maybe US could have more people like Bernie trying to actually do good rather than trying to enrich or empower themselves.

Calling democrats "Blue MAGA", at least currently is a stretch and a half since there is still a sizeable difference between the parties, but yeah - current democrats are getting real close to pre-2000's republicans in everything except few policies.

As you have correctly pointed out, a lot of the American liberals are unquestionably supporting Kamala no matter what she does, and it's just so frustrating to see. People can support and vote for a party but also be critical of it much like how you can have your favorite video game and have gripes with it that you hope could have been fixed, but I guess that's taking a backseat in favour of "politics as team sports" where the only thing that matters is beating the other side.

That being said, choosing not to vote for dems because of this is stupid - even if democrats aren't going to shift back to center, it's a much better alternative for the average person (foreign or otherwise) than Trump becoming the dictator. Though I worry about the future of US politics - republicans who stay with Trump are numerous, and once he's gone then another alt-right populist is going to come, one who's even worse than Trump (while being younger and more lucid), and there is no guarantee democrats are going to have Kamala 2 to steal the momentum back or even be able to fight them.

I swear, you could have Hitler reincarnate with Himmler as vice president looking exactly the same as how they looked like in WW2 and use the exact same rhetoric, and the current undecided voters would still be equally clueless on who to vote for, assuming they're actually undecided and not "closeted conservative voter who doesn't want to look bad".

That's weird, I thought klansmen don't have to hide their faces behind hoods anymore after Trump. Someone should tell the guy to get with the times

I saw one of those right-wing propaganda videos talking exactly about this, saying how this is "Kamala's America" and people voting for her condone Haitians eating ducks from parks and pet cats, and it was incredibly funny until I read the comments, with every single one 100% believing the claims without question. I wonder if those people are bots or are they just xenophobic enough for "Haitians eating pets" to make sense without question in their worldview.

Yahoo is just a terrible news source in general tbh

My pragmatic side is absolutely disgusted with this - why would you gift a gun to your kid while living in an urban area? It makes no practical sense other than fueling this weird American obsession with guns.

I understand giving your teen kid a hunting rifle if you live in a rural area and go hunting sometimes, but not an AR in a city - it's just asking for trouble.

I don't believe this would achieve anything to be honest. Consider the following: the vast majority of republicans saw Trump's policies and Project 2025, without going "hold on, this 'abolition of democracy and jailing of people who disagree with us' thing is bad!". If a Republican was actually reasonable with their morals intact, they would have hopped ship to Democratic party already or spoken out and disagreed against Trump earlier (there were a couple but they really were in a minority).

All this 'compromising' is going to achieve is giving some of Democrat power away to Republicans who might split from current MAGA, sure, but once another Trump is in the picture they will go back to them straight away, except this time it will be much worse.

Oh yeah, ty for correction.

Yeah, it's a real sore spot for the community too - people often have 2 or more accounts due to various account types like mains who have no restrictions, ironmen who can't trade and gotta get everything themselves, group ironmen which is ironman but co-op in a 5 person group and other modes that add additional limitations.

Not anymore, they're killing grandfather rates with this update
