@sirber Because Arab-Americans and Muslim Americans, some of which are having their families wiped out in Gaza, and others who are in solidarity with them and who normally would vote Democrat are not going to vote for the guy who is complicit in the genocide of the Palestinian people. This election is not Donald Trump’s to win, it’s Biden’s to lose and it looks like he’s doing everything he can to make that happen.
@aral "go around Israel" Good grief. Refund the damn UNWRA and vote for a ceasefire not against it. It's not fucking rocket science. Also, Canada announced this bullshit idea days ago and it was just as much a "we're pretending to do something so we don't look as bad" move then by Canada as it is now by the US.
@aral@cferdinandi if countries build decades of foreign policy (in the UK’s case over a century) on doing all kinds of fkery to keep the economic windpipe to an energy jackpot open, while saying it’s *only* about something else, eventually the cognitive dissonance fractures everything https://mastodon.social/@urlyman/111754210396689587
