        Yeah, we’re constantly on the edge of allowing this place to fall into full on fascist dictatorship. It fucking sucks.

        Laugh all you want. At least you live in a place where your government is not constantly teetering on the edge.

        Not sure why lemmy liberals are assuming Harris and Biden are secretly against Israel, gets going to be a big disappointment for you all if the Democrats win again and nothing changes.

          It’s called Stockholm Syndrome: people without options often end up genuinelly believing that the guy who tortures them only twice a week rather than daily is “deep down a good guy” and even “is our friend”.

      Have they been supported by AIPAC? Surely, but them personally getting a check from a foreign lobby that is mysteriously allowed to exist in US politics is not a good explanation for what is going on. Israel serves a purpose extending America’s power in the Middle East and terrorizing its rivals. If Israel was against America’s interests in the region, AIPAC wouldn’t exist and America’s lavish cooperation with Israel would not be happening.

        True. It’s all related to capitalism. But the campaign money is the real thing that keeps politicians (some of whom actually do care about doing the right thing), from doing the right thing.
