I think it would be much more likely for the west coast as a whole to split. WA, OR, CA

It’s not like you can’t control your 401k investments. I’ve been in bonds and gold since January.

Sorry I don’t want to join your parade I’ll keep doing real mutual aid work

There was no progress because the filibuster.

When it’s Democrats in control this is the excuse.

When it’s Republicans in control they do as they please illegal or not.

Why do you think this is? Republicans have already burned through 80% of Project 2025 without a filibuster being started, why are they able to accomplish so many of their goals, the Democrats however almost none.

Their AIPAC and Insurance provider paychecks come with stipulations.

You say you’re empathetic towards Gaza yet you’re rooting for a politician who’s accepted 3/4 million dollars directly from Israel.

Billionaires, US politics is largely fanfare with niche outliers like Bernie. There’s a reason the US has largely been the exact same imperialist state feeding the billionaires for almost 50 years now. Democrats had 100% control of Senate, House, and Executive branch in 2022 and what did they do to prevent what is unfolding today?

Largely fanfare with a focus on imperialist foreign affairs in Gaza.

Anyone who’s been paying attention to the news for more than 3 administrations can tell you this is the reality of our system and nothing will change until it crashes and is rebuilt.

Why are they asking us to risk getting thrown in an ice internment camp when they are the ones who standing by in DC abiding by legalities that no longer exist?

There’s 10-20 other Dem senators there helping him by taking questions, giving speeches and allowing him to get bathroom breaks.

And they’re doing the bare minimum. They should’ve been on rotational shifts from one week in, and this especially should’ve been going on when they signed away all their power with the budget approvals a few weeks ago.

I promise I am not attacking you personally, let’s just not mistake this as the Democratic party fighting, this is one man fighting an uphill battle with the bare level of help.

Precisely

And I applaud Booker

This is the good side

Where are the other 40ish senators and why aren’t they helping him?

Boycotts are a hell a lot more efficient than fanfare parades though.

We need to ban all money from all elections state wide.

Pathetic. Weak. Spineless. Complicit.

I hope your head rots on a pike.

A leaked memo from the DOJ has them approving the death penalty for people without papers and that’s a positive direction to you?

Trump and Netanyahu are going to absolutely wipe out Gaza

The fact that it’s already been entirely demolished from the Biden admin kindve nullifies this talking point though.

Ultimately yes, its the fault of the voters (and non voters) who let their emotions cloud their judgement.

Just curious, why place blame on the voters? In my opinion we should be placing blame on the party / candidates. It is the parties and candidates job to ensure they are running on a winnable platform with a powerful message. Even outside of the Gaza issue Kamala did not back any popular policies and instead shifted to a very right (circa 2014/2016) platform. Particularly on taxation of billionaires, oil drilling, and healthcare for all, she walked all these policies to the right in the latter half of her campaign. There ultimately no reason to vote for her except so she would beat Trump, which makes sense for a lot of people, but I can also see many who weren’t inspired to vote and just assumed she’d win.

Edit: also just saw a guy below said a very similar thing so sorry if this feels like an attack from this perspective.

your republican goons

What are you even talking about man? I’m about as far away from Republican as it gets. Try having a conversation before lobbing insults, I know it’s hard nowadays but it can be done.

I agree and would love to work towards a world where that is true, unfortunately people love their infighting.

Doing anything is far better than arguing about what and where the blame is placed infinitely.

-The people failed, not the government. We had a free and fair election, saw what at stake, and still people decided to sit it out or throw their vote away.

Insane take and that’s all I have left to say 😂. Feel free to continue supporting democrats on your hedonic treadmill instead of moving towards a better world for everyone.

Your argument is only valid to an EXTREMELY small selection of people in 4 battleground states, but you project it to every leftist who criticized the Biden Kamala admin for allowing Gaza to be destroyed.

It’s much easier to place blame on made up people who have no power than it is to place the blame on the fact that our government systems have allowed this to happen. Why did the Democrats maintain full control of congress and yet nothing was done. They are the ones who held the power to stop this, yet nothing was done. Do not blame 10,000 individuals some with family who have been killed in Gaza when the blame should be placed on our government systems and Democratic parties.

We should instead be uniting on solutions to these problems not shoving blame down leftists throats who the vast majority of are not responsible for the problem at hand.
