    Oh shit, that’s the first person I ever voted against! As a 17 year old I registered as a republican specifically because I hated him.

        Explain to me how she, or people in her orbit/administration, have said things even remotely similar to what Huckabee just said.

        Watch the efficiency in which they finish the genocide January 21st.

        That will demonstrate how much you helped Palestine because you genuinely care. Pfft wow I could barely type that without laughing. You have blood on your hands.

        If you’re going to name it after someone, maybe try the guy in Israel actually directing the damn thing?

          I do not think he changed his stance, but I’m not sure how it’s relevant to the election.

          The number of pro Palestinian people was a statistical blip outside of Michigan and certainly did not change the election.

          I really hope the Dems reflect on why AOC was re elected in a district that swung heavily towards Trump instead of doubling down on their clear and tangible resentment of working class people.

          Mike Huckabee is detestable, but that doesn’t make the current policies better. When it comes to genocide, splitting hairs misses the point.

              glad you can laugh at the genocide happening with your tax dollars right now.

              I’d be happy to know what the difference is. Some meaningless red lines that never lead to sanctions?

              They already depopulated North Gaza and the West Bank under Biden’s watch. That literally already happened.

            I’m really sick and tired of head-in-the-sand liberals pushing us over the cliff to fascism and then having the utter fucking gall to try to gaslight us that it’s our fault, not theirs.

              When you decide that the better option is getting out of the car and jumping off of the cliff yourself, that’s when it starts being your fault.

                And I didn’t (I voted for Harris, and also kept my mouth shut about her sprint to the right, like a good little Democrat, until after the election).

                So you can take that accusation and fuck all the way off with it.

            lol. Ok. love the downvotes. The Dems have learned nothing since 2016. Blaming the voters for not cosigning piss poor policy and unpopular decisions, while gaslighting thr working class about all time economic highs based on shit like stock prices and CPI when the latter number intentionally neglects to measure housing, food, or energy costs. You know, the things that make up the majority of expenditures for the class of people who overwhelmingly swung towards Trump.

            Go ahead. Call me a deplorable. I’ll be volunteering in the refugee camps like I have been since 2017. Will you? Or will you continue to attack marginalized people for pulling the only lever they have?

            God knows the 2nd option hasn’t worked and lost the Dems north of 60% of all Latino voters. But surely it’s hundreds of millions of people that are wrong about feeling trapped by an economic system designed to turn their bodies into profit for billionaires.

                Homey, Nancy Pelosi is worth $240 million too. Boeing and Raytheon love Biden and Harris as much as they love Dick Cheney – and they literally campaigned on that fact.

      Joe Biden is still president and over 200 children were slaughtered since the election. Tomorrow is the deadline he gave Israel for letting aid into the north of Gaza, but he will not enforce it because he also believes that there are no such thing as Palestinians and that they should die, leave or live as subjects to Jews so that Israel can annex all territory the Bible grants it.

    Based on the need for ancient history to claim a people, there’s no Americans either. Does that mean we give everything back to the indigenous people? I hope so. Also even if they’re Arabs as you say, that doesn’t mean you can just murder them indiscriminately like this.

      Yes, an American politician should be wary of making the argument that non-ancient roots in an area make their claim on their land default.

      Honestly, I have trouble dealing with the irony that American politicians are pro-zionism becuase Jews used to hold the land a long time ago until they were outcast from their homelands aand forced to move far away, displacing Palestinian people that live tthere now in the process… and then think that Native American sovereignty (let alone their claim to their historical lands that were stolen from them) are ridiculous and unfair to contemporary US citizens that live here now.

          Yes, because Israel definitely doesn’t have nukes. That would be in violation of international non-proliferation agreements, and they have the utmost respect for international law.

      They are in ancient history though. They’re in the Bible that these people treasure so much, the philistines are mentioned a lot as people who live in the southern Levant who aren’t Jewish. After the roman emperor hadrian expelled the jews from Judah he renamed the province Palestine, more to spite the jews then to honor the philistines, which is the name of the region and the people who live in it who are not jews to this day.

      Yeah they absorbed a hegemonic imperial Arab culture in the second millennium but that doesn’t mean they don’t exist. That’s like saying Canadians don’t exist because them and the u.s. we’re created by the same empire and have a very similar culture and language.
