He was using money to try to buy influence just like Epstein used to do because he has long been a creature of the machine. Politically important people get away with things.
I agree that she should, though I kind of wonder how realistic it is that she will before her official nomination. Last thing we need is AIPAC getting triggered at such a precarious moment and trying to turn the table over.
I don’t know everything about her views on Israel, other than she’s signaled she’s uncomfortable with Biden’s zealotry in the past and has been very quiet. But she will probably need to address the issue before the election, she needs to be percieved as distinct enough from Biden to get back the people in places like Deerborn, MI and such. A major reason Biden abandoned his run was because the Uncommitted vote just wasn’t going away.
I’m personally willing to accept Biden stepping down as a win for the party and a blow to zionists, to me it’s enough of a referendum on his zionist policies for me to stomach a compromise on Harris. But I’m not arab american and I don’t have family in Palestine, so I would still understand people who won’t accept anything but stark condemnation by Harris.
Yeah, my expectation for Harris is an unspecific call for peace and support for a two state solution. Biden is out of the mainstream in the party, she just needs to not be that.
I wouldn’t say extremely happy, I think he’s too fixated on corporate welfare at the expense of progressive policy, but it’d be good enough as a stop gap.
She definitely needs to be more aggressive on climate change mitigation though, as far as I’m concerned it would be hard for a president to be too radical in that regard. Biden should’ve been pushing hard for the Green New Deal. Putting aside all other political battles against fascism, we are in deep trouble with the climate.
Firstly, AIPAC has no relationship to the truth, they’re only there to disrupt the truth.
And no one said she shouldn’t be honest about her positions, but it’s still politics and we can all pretty much guess where she stands on Israel already; not as far left as anyone wants her to be, but not as right-wing as Biden/Trump. That’s the best deal we’re getting this cycle as far as I’m concerned.
But again, I’m not going to tell anyone who feels they can’t vote for Harris if she’s not strong enough in her condemnation of Israel that they need to vote for her. I just spent the last 6 months being told that I need to accept Biden’s genocidal policies and it’s pointless to threaten the party with a non-vote, I would never turn around and do that to other voters because it’s bullshit.
This is what happens when no one likes you, and so you fill your Praetorian Guard with loyalists who, like 100% of Trumpers, are the worst of the worst.
What I find most mad is that Kamala Harris is nearing retirement age for many industries - yet compared to many in her line of work she seems like she’s in her thirties and has a whole new career ahead of her.
We came within 1 year of having the first ever Gen X major party nominee (and immediately after the first ever Silent Generation president). But, she’s a yet another boomer by 1 year.
The US election normally has world-wide implications in terms of women’s health funding, international aide, whether countries are allowed to be okay with gay people - it’s extremely impactful.
In this particular case Trump would likely pull funding from any of the countries that cozied up to the US economically in favor of Chinese investors - or just issue extremely destructive fiats on trade rules that destroy random economies… he’s currently proposing a 20% import tariff that’d likely devastate the US’s closest allies but also cause shocks to any other interconnected economies.
I did not downvote it, but I understand the frustration when it comes to not hoping to see tons of articles, each one about what people from one country think about the situation.
I noticed another comment that mentioned he had been working for a few departments over the years, so probably he just did too much finally. Mean don’t get me wrong I’m happy an officer is being charged for crimes committed but I’m guessing there’re reasons he has a longer work history and probably shouldn’t have been hired multiple times in the past. Again this was off a comment so maybe the information isn’t accurate but when it’s so easy to believe is a pretty bad situation of police officers in general.
He had been hired by Sangamon county despite two charges of driving under the influence, the Springfield State Journal-Register reported, and had worked for other law enforcement agencies in Illinois for seven years before arriving in Springfield.
