I’m sure people will focus on the rage bait but I think they’re burying the lede here:
>Last July, 19 Democrats including Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer blocked Sanders’s last attempt.
Going from 19 down to 7 in less than a year is actually a pretty huge shift. 15%~ support down from 40%~.

The framing is weird. The more important news is that 40 Senate Democrats voted to end arms sales to Israel. The previous high water mark was 27.
Take heart. The tides are turning against AIPAC.

The good news is that Israel has become so toxic that only a minority of Dem senators voted to kill this bill.
This would have been unthinkable even a year ago.

Just your daily reminder that it’s not antisemitic to say we want foreign money out of our government. Israel is essentially a pariah state. Netanyahu is a genocidal war criminal who supports rape, murder and displacement of men, women and children. And we do not need to send money to a country to commit those crimes IN OUR NAME.

I’d be worried if I was Israeli though. US military support is going away, probably within 5 years when young voters vote start to count.

I don’t know why people even consider Fetterman a Dem?
throwaway_ghast on
The fact we got 40 sitting Senators to come to the floor and vote against Israel’s interests, when just a few years ago we could not scrounge together a handful to do so, shows just how the tides have turned against the apartheid state. Yesterday Israel was more popular than it is today, and today Israel is more popular than it will be tomorrow.

You shouldn’t need to primary Schumer, he’s 75!!! If he doesn’t realise it’s time to retire to Israel it is definitely AOC time.

Attention everyone, Fetterman was always pro-Israel. This is nothing that can be blamed on the stroke and nothing that should surprise anyone. I know it’s hard to keep track of every politicians position on everything, God knows I’m not great at it, but don’t rush to assume every Democrat is woke and votes perfectly in line with that you want. Don’t project perfection on everyone with a (D) behind their name.
Hell don’t assume everything bad of (R)’s either. Don’t get me wrong, there’s no excuse, but MTGs turn could be seen from far away. Reddit was too busy labeling her mindlessly crazy. They didn’t notice she was willing to piss off her own. I’m not surprised she stuck to her QAnon roots and left. She did the same with the Catholic church. Find the loose threads and pull. One that isn’t getting enough attention is Chip Roy. He and Massie were the only R’s I saw critique Bondi over the files. He kissed ass for four minutes but he did it. He wants to be Texas AG. Dems should be riling up attention and pushign him to campaign on “one of the only Republicans to chase down the Epstein List”. For all I know there was more, I couldn’t stand to listen to all the R’s.
My point is, learn the candidates. Find the patterns. It’s not easy but America needs it. And vote in the damned primaries!

Stop supporting genocide and more people will vote for you.
To be clear I am a lesser of two evils voter, and will vote for them as long as they are slightly lesser evil than the other guys. But I also understand people who can’t bring themselves to vote to support genocide.

They would rather the Republicans win than change anything.
The harm-reduction “lesser evil voting” shit where they’re just marginally better than the Republicans doesn’t work anymore, because the party’s leadership has stopped trying to be even marginally better.
At least the Republicans try to do whatever stupid shit their idiot voters asked for. The Democrats can’t even pretend to give a shit about an 80% issue in their own fucking party.
In a world without Republicans, the Democrats would be the Republicans.

When people say “well how do you expect dems to do anything to stop trump as a minority party?” At a bare minimum, they can stop supporting Israel. Democrats have had just enough votes to confirm all of trumps admin and most of their odious bills. The democrat party is complicit to this authoritarian takeover. They are bought and paid for, and I won’t vote for any Democrat that takes pro Israel, AI, or crypto PAC money.

Of course they did
The Israeli government are terrorists.
Some notes:
* The article has a major typo. It’s $660 million in sales, not $660 billion
* The resolution is [billed](https://www.sanders.senate.gov/press-releases/news-sanders-files-joint-resolutions-of-disapproval-to-block-nearly-660-million-in-bomb-sales-to-israel/) as against offensive weaponry, consistent with Sanders long-held messaging that Israel has the right to defend itself but that how it prosecutes the war matters.
