SoftestSapphic@lemmy.worldto politics @lemmy.world•Jon Stewart Tears Apart Dems’ ‘Idiotic’ Project 2029 Plan0·8 days agoI think a big issue is people expect democrats to enact the thing’s they promise to enact and then they don’t. And there’s insane coping and denial used to justify it instead of allowing real critique.
Biden did student loan forgiveness,
Biden tried, no loans were forgiven, some loans were forced to be more ethical, but nobody was freed from the debt.
So that isn’t seen as a win by a lot of people who wanted loan forgiveness and got a half assed attempt that didn’t help.
Hell, he said he would forgive all student loans and make college free. Lol
He puts money into infrastructures and unions and again, people go “I guess, it’s a bit better than Republicans!”
Again, this isn’t really as true as I wish it was.
They put money into green energy corporations that hoard it offshore like other corps.
And Biden literally fought against unions while in office.
Democratic voters suck ass at rallying behind any cause, because the base is filled with “well actually…!” people, that demand 100% problem completion on day one, otherwise they are not impressed.
I try really really hard to not be contrarian about this shit, but Democrats aren’t making partial progress on anything, they are failing to make positive meaningful change for working class people at the expense of the rich, which is a requirement for fixing wealth inequality, which is the source of the vast majority of economic and societal issues. Until Democrats are willing to force their rich owners to make concessions they will not be capable of supporting these kinds of policies.
Also blaming voters for the outcome of an election is not valid, it’s up to politicians to provide something worth voting for and being capable of communicating those policies to their target voters.
Meanwhile, Republican voters will literarily vote for a rapist because they see the bigger picture.
Republicans vote for strongmen because their religious upbringing makes them subservient to anyone who can imitate the way their pastor made them feel.

So yeah, i would expect them to try anything else that might work. Including illegal things. That is if they actually give a shit about trying to stop the rise of fascism, which they don’t seem to give a shit about.

SoftestSapphic@lemmy.worldtoPolitical Memes@lemmy.world•When lunatics start talking about expelling all Israelis 'Back to Europe' instead of integrating them in a one-state solution0·10 days agohttps://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mandate_for_Palestine
So the mandate was created after WW1, not 2, with the purpose of giving jewish people a national homeland and having a bunch of European countries control the reigon for 3 decades until they let it expire and let the Jews and Palestinians sort it out with each other.
On the last day of the mandate, the creation of the State of Israel was proclaimed and the 1948 Arab–Israeli War began.My partner is plural so she’s taught me a lot about how people see and present their own consciousness.
So the allied forces colonized the reigon for Zionists to move in and take land that was being owned by other people, and then shugged their shoulders and walked away…
You’re not making a case here for the Zionists.

SoftestSapphic@lemmy.worldtoPolitical Memes@lemmy.world•When lunatics start talking about expelling all Israelis 'Back to Europe' instead of integrating them in a one-state solution0·11 days agoIf you want to learn the history of Zionism:
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lovers_of_Zion
The founders of modern Zionism started the ideology with the stated goal of reposessing the holy land that was promised to them by god.
This group of rich Russian and Austrian jews were able to place themselves at the table during the reperations process after WW2, they then convinced the Allied forces to give them the british owned land in the reigon, and they have been expanding their boarders ever since.
This is human history, verifiable.
Please for your own sake stop frothing and start reading Wikipedia articles.
SoftestSapphic@lemmy.worldtoPolitical Memes@lemmy.world•When lunatics start talking about expelling all Israelis 'Back to Europe' instead of integrating them in a one-state solution0·11 days agoDo you think Germany would have voluntarily stopped WW2 and voluntarily made reperations all on their own?
No. That’s literally Revisionist history.
Don’t be ignorant on purpose

What was the group that forced Germany to pay reperations?
Cmon say it with me, the allies!
FFS you are crashing out my dude.
SoftestSapphic@lemmy.worldtoPolitical Memes@lemmy.world•When lunatics start talking about expelling all Israelis 'Back to Europe' instead of integrating them in a one-state solution0·11 days agoI don’t think we need to deport the Isralis, but they ARE genociding their neighbors so maybe they can’t live peacefully in the reigon.
IMO the Palestinian families that lived there before WW2 have more of a claim to the land. That’s if they can’t stop killing each other.

SoftestSapphic@lemmy.worldtoPolitical Memes@lemmy.world•When lunatics start talking about expelling all Israelis 'Back to Europe' instead of integrating them in a one-state solution0·12 days agoIt was the allies who gave the land to the Zionists.
The Haavara Agreement … enabled Jews fleeing persecution under the new Nazi regime to transfer some portion of their assets to British Mandatory Palestine.[2] Emigrants sold their assets in Germany to pay for essential goods (manufactured in Germany) to be shipped to Mandatory Palestine.[3][4] The agreement was controversial and was criticised by Revisionist Zionist leader Ze’ev Jabotinsky and by some non-Zionist Jews, as well as by members of both the Nazi Party and the German public.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haavara_Agreement
We can see the landgrab was even unpopular with non-Zionist jews at the time.
Dude you gotta chill. Palestinians are being erased, and Jews are not. It’s really as simple as that.
Supporting Zionists does not help Jews. And pretending any antisemitism happening against Zionists is as bad as the erasure of the Palestinian people is intentionally ignoring the ongoing atrocities to clutch pearls.
Zionists and Isralis don’t get sympathy from me while committing the worst war crime possible.
