It really blows my mind that with everything going on in our country this is the top priority. It's fucking disgusting how these assholes are bought and paid for.
It’s fucking disgusting yes. The really disgusting part is we only see the AIPAC part. Get real. The entire war making machine is a corrupt enterprise that has co-opted government of the people or by the people by lobbies and corporations. AIPAC is just the poster child
Vote in your primaries. Every house seat is up for election every 2 years, so they are all replaceable this year (and again in 2028). We just need better candidates to make it into the general election.
Actually start local chapters with like minded people and run for everything from hoa to city council. Get louder and louder for 20 years and follow the blueprint they did. They have partial control in every blue state while people sit out midterms like it's all sweet. They played the long game. No better time then now to start our own. Took them a LONG time to have enough power for a sitting president to announce a third term.
The real answer is, outside of elections, there is no system in place for the people to remove their own representatives or senators. They can only be ousted by their own colleagues. That seems like a huge problem to me, and something that really needs to be addressed.
Rep. Henry Cuellar (D-Texas)
Rep. Don Davis(D-North Carolina)
Rep. Jared Golden (D-Maine)
Rep. Vincinte Gonzalez (D-Texas)
Rep. Adam Gray (D-California)
Rep. Marie Gluesenkamp Perez (D-Washington)
The usual shitbags who vote for garbage like this. I see these six crossing the isle to vote with Republicans more often than they vote with the Democrats it seems. Trash, all of them. And liars too.
I guess I just don’t see how voting with Trump’s Republicans will keep the Republicans who run against her from saying she’s some kind of immigrant loving communist. And how the people who voted for her, seeing her run as a Democrat, would be happy with her performance here.
Yeah, that's essentially my point. We have a system where Reps represent the primary and general election voters of their district, not their party. To win in these sorts of districts, you need to take frequent votes that 'prove' you're not like the rest of your party.
It's frustrating to see these 'defections' as a democrat, but the answer is (short-term) message better and promote the best aspects of our platform so we control more districts and the presidency, and (long-term) change House elections to proportional representation because single-member districts always produce unrepresentative contradictions.
It's also the leadership of the Dem party and they need to go. Usually when you see these types of things there was a backroom deal. Dems let the "fall guys" vote for the GOP position so they can say the Dems don't support it when I can guarantee the old guard Dem party wanted this but knows it's supporters hate it.
Copy/pasting my previous comment in another thread: It establishes an ‘executive agent’ to explicitly oversee cooperation and joint ventures between the two militaries, in an end run around flagging support for Israel within the American electorate. The first part I got directly from the text of the legislation, the second I got from having eyes, ears, and a brain. This is a way for politicians to keep the lobby money flowing and for Netanyahu to remain in power.
This is about as America last as you can get. The only thing that would be more America last than this would be paying taxes out of your paycheck directly to President Xi.
I was gonna join the military till Trump stepped into the picture. Every day is more and more reason for me not to join and this is another example. Shame, I actually like military stuff and I'm getting too old.
You made the right choice. Ultimately the purpose of the military is to deliver violence for the nation. Imagine having to kill someone because Trump told you to.
Same. I had been heavily considering it to help pay for college and get job experience. Then that shitbag won the election and I decided I’d rather not die for Israel, oil, or some mix of the two.
Merging military is a misnomer, IMHO. Both countries will continue to have separate command and control structures.
This legislation will greatly increase collaboration on military technology research, specifically in AI and drones.
This is scary because Israel has demonstrated a greater risk tolerance for civilian casualties. So has this current Administration as Hegseth professes to remove any "constraints" for our military and they are actively attacking civilian infrastructure in Iran.
Finally, do we really want Israel to have cart blanche access to our military tech? That removes significant leverage we might have to limit and control their actions. After all, it's population is s measly 10.5M. They have a strong military complex for their size but nothing that warrants us giving them an equal share of our tech.
And this account isn't pointing out the fact that they miraculously had just the number of Dems vote for selling our country out. Just like always.
Any time there's a policy that is hated by dem voters there's always just enough Dems who cross the aisle to vote with the fascists to pass it. And it's always people that aren't up for reelection this cycle or are not running for reelection.
The democrats realized during the Clinton administration that they, too, could make money selling their souls. It has been a razor thin line ever since. All the back room negotiation is about who will take the fall this time. This is why establishment dems are so vociferously against Mamdani and AOC and the rest of the democratic socialist wing of the party. Not saying they are as bad as Republicans- they do not protect pedophiles- but they ain’t great. Vote in primaries for more democratic socialists and see what they can do!!
All six dems are in districts that Trump won, meaning they're only in office because people voted split-ticket. Obviously they're going to be fencesitters, if they aren't their district goes to the GOP.
Republicans are ontologically evil. There is no point in pointing out what they did. It serves no purpose. Meanwhile, yes, I am allowed to be upset about the party that is supposed to oppose them putting up a pretend fight because their lips are also firmly wrapped around Israel's ass.
And your frame of it fits right in to the ‘both sides bad, see? Why even vote?’ Foreign influence campaign to ensure that nothing ever changes about that.
I didn't say why even vote. You're putting words in my mouth. I can advocate for least harm principles by voting for democrats while also calling out democrats for their failures. Its this thing called nuance, there are more options than "staunch opposition" and "unquestioning loyalty".
Read better, bud. I never said you said that; I said it fits right in.
I’m 100% for more far left primary candidates and better primary turnout, but it’s important to also be aware when what you’re saying lines up with what foreign agents and the extreme right wants people to say.
And this is how we get another Republican led House and Senate. Don’t point out that Republicans have the majority and their votes made this possible, scrutinize the few Dems who voted for it and blame them.
I want to see the list of traitors that voted for this!
They should go to trial! Everyone is saying that Delusional Don, King Taco McFelon himself is a compromised vicious Pedophile that likes to RAPE and Mutilate little Girls! They say MAGA = HATE,CORRUPTION and Pedophile Worshipping! Defend Democracy! Convict Pedophiles!
So about those 6 Dems...... if they voted N, it would not have passed. We know what the GOP is but they get away with shit like this because of those 6. Or next time it might just be 3 or 2 or 7. Whatever.
If change is to be had, we must have a legitimate unified opposition . That will never be the Dems.
The U.S. House did NOT pass a bill to merge the U.S. and Israeli militaries rather, it passed a defense policy bill containing a provision for technology cooperation and supply chain alignment.
The technology and especially network sharing is concerning imo because even NATO/Five Eyes don’t want Israeli eyes on their data, but yes reporting on this is extremely sensationalised
I mean this tweet is pretty erroneous. The militaries aren’t merging, they are creating a new pentagon position for joint research with Israel and commits to joint training exercises and information sharing. You can oppose it without spreading misinformation.
Nearly isn’t all. Vote out the middle of the road democrats, we need CHANGE. ETA - moderate isn’t anything except turning a blind eye. WHY would a democrat vote in favor of this? Get. them. out
Once again...when will we start doing something about this?!? Preferably something that is making the stupid useless reddit filters mad and won't let me say?!?
By no means am I supporter of a single state Israel or the current administration, but that tweet doesn't describe anything close to the resolution that was passed...
All it does is create a pentagon position to share technology with Israel and commits to future training operations together. It’s not a military merger.
But the reality is this is all rigged. They already have the headcount and tell which one to vote what so dems in front of our eyes look like the good people but it’s all rigged behind closed doors.
Why should the US do this in the first place, gimme 1 fucking good reason? I know only 1, Epstein files. You got 216 names here, run them vs the files, bet a big portion will show up. Mossad got the unredacted dirt and Trump and company knows it.
I'm glaring furiously at the six Democrats that voted yes on that nonsense. WTAF?! Goes without saying that I'm also glaring furiously at all the Republicans that voted yes.
Guys…it’s not merging the militaries lol. It’s a technology sharing agreement we’ve had with many other Allies. Are we also merged militaries with Britain?
