Yeah. Unfortunately at this point it is pretty much just a bit of grandstanding to try to maintain a semblance of a bar. A bar likely to be entirely ignored (best case scenario) by the new trump administration.
There was never any semblance of a bar.
James Cameron is still looking for it.
Tlaib is one of the very few people in government not completely and openly owned by either Israel or Russia.
I too am holding Tlaib accountable hereon for the genocide in both Gaza and Ukraine for her blatantly ignorant action to not choose Harris over Trump, who will be orders of magnitude worse for both.
So if I say you get to choose a kick in the genitals or a punch in the face, and you choose neither, then somehow you are the asshole?
Log off and go away. Get off your armchair.
lol is this even a question? Yes, I'll take the genitals kick over the possibility of traumatic brain damage.
But that's entertaining this is a valid analogy, which it isn't. Here, let's try this on for size, shall we?
- You're in a concentration camp and the President who oversees the Warden is up for reelection.
- You watch from outside as the Warden who is brutally terrorizing those people.
- There is a binary choice between 2 people for President.
- The one has openly instructed the Warden to (1) "finish the job" and undermined every humanitarian aid and even (2) obstructing a "ceasefire" to the guards at every turn, all the while (3) completely and utterly ignoring protesters, if not beating them up.
- The other has at least expressed support for (a) Statehood and self-determination of the population, and (b) that the killing must stop, and (c) is clearly more amicable to persuasion and outside pressure.
- You in all your infinite wisdom, choose to vote for the former in this unfounded perception that there is no difference. As if there isn't a spectrum of genocidal damage and conditions can't get even worse (and they always, always can).
lol. So while you sit from the comfort of your own armchair, patting yourself on the back for your little Pyrrhic victory, you've only exacerbated conditions for years to come both in Gaza and Ukraine alike. You cannot be taken seriously.
Perhaps you you should sit out geopolitics a tad bit longer until you're actually out of grade school and learn a few more lessons in critical-thinking?
Edit: "Israeli Right, Pushing to Annex West bank, Sees Allies in Trump's Picks" — Gee, thanks Uncommitted! lol.
