Wrong. EU countries have given over 50 billion $ support so far. Germany alone has given roughly 28 billion. Thereās only a handful states that are in opposition against it, including lighthouses of democracy like Hungaryā¦

Well you know what? This topic has nothing to do with genocide.
I wouldnāt even know that shit because I couldnāt care less about what friends of potential criminals think about their crimes. That shit is utterly unimportant. Why should I waste my life time for remembering such silly things?
Guilt by association is no joke! Even friendship can be dangerous! Better to avoid any human contact to not draw suspicion.
Maybe I just expect better from people on the left. But youāre rightā¦ Why should they be different?
But still. If one cares about one topic so much that they would not vote for someone because of it. Then why would they not go the extra mile and think about what the consequences of their decision will be with regard to that topic? And I donāt think that you have to be a political junkie to have such thoughts. Itās no rocket science at all.
Youāre totally right that material change is needed. I just doubt that thereās so much Biden can do until next year. Even if such decisions were made right now, it would take a while until the effects would be felt. And if changes are not enshrined in law, theyāll be gone soon. But thereās no perspective to achieve that as long as you donāt control house, senate and presidency.
Amazing how you have the patience to address frustrated people like that. I guess this surely is the way but encountering these baseless yet absolute accusations just makes me angry haha.
I wasnāt advocating for voting democrat solely because of Trump. I was advocating for carefully weighing the consequences of ones decision in elections.
Politicians should learn what their base cares about and do something
Iām sorry but to me this is just borderline naive and it completely ignores all societal and political realities. The US has a 2 party system. Itās shitty but right now thatās exactly what it is.
That means: All the things that some voter wants can only be represented by either one, or the other election platform or ideology. But even if you had a system that allowed for 5 or 6 parties to coexist in parliamentā¦ What do you think: How many compromises would you have to make to allow yourself to vote for one of them? Iāll guarantee you that you will always have to accept a lot of discrepancies between your ideals and the ideas a party wants to realize. Because that party must appeal to many voters if it wants to have a perspective to govern, i.e. implementing their ideas.
And that is why there is no such thing as āwhat their base wantsā. The base of any political party will be diverse in their interests. To claim that the democratic base has ending the genocide in Gaza as their top priority is just wrong. It might be a sizable chunk of young voters but of course they can tip the scales in a close race.
But thereās another thing that I find naive here. And I see it in so many comments of the loud āanti genocide joeā faction: And that is the part āand do somethingā in your quote above. Why do some people think that the president of the US is so almighty that he could just snap his fingers and boom, the genocide is gone. He canāt make these decisions alone. Heās part of a system of checks and balances for very good reasons. And the political reality is that there exist many, many competing interests in politics, there are binding contracts, there are diplomatic ties, etc. etc. To conclude: Itās practically impossible for Biden to stop the genocide right now. So if anyone insists that one should not vote for him because he hasnāt used his divine powers for ending the genocide yetā¦ For me itās just dumb. It makes no fucking sense at all.
Yeah because as a voter we should put principles above everything else and base our decision on single issuesā¦ Isnāt that similar to what the MAGA crowd is doing?
Sure, the principles are very different. But the outcome is the same: Hurt yourself by ignoring the complexity of a political system and voting against your best interest because you mainly listen to your emotionsā¦ I donāt get it!
Is the data access exclusive for that one company? If not then itās no miracle theyāre opting for a subscription-based model lol
News to me that the Houthis are the recognised government of Yemen that could claim sovereignty. Also what are your sources on the perception of the strikes in the Global South? Why should a person in lets say Laos care more about Yemenis than Ukrainians? As a conflict itās similarly distant from their own lifes.
What are the reasons for this reduction?
Gtfo russian troll. Yeah, I look at the last three years and think: Bidenā¦ He only wants war!! Lmao
