So many conversations had where people talk about kamela being a war criminal who loves genocide because she doesn't nuke Israel.
People need to get a grip and get a basic understanding that the world is just not that simple.
Ok, I'll bite. In what nuanced way does Israel deserve the billions of dollars in weapons and funding the US taxpayers fund to continue their genocide when at the same time FEMA isn't adequately funded to respond to the multiple hurricanes in this year alone?
It doesn't, I never said that it does
I'm also pragmatic enough to understand that you're in a special situation where you can vote for an imperfect president that could and should do much better and more than she currently is doing, or you can vote for Satan's spawn who pretty said he will destroy Palestine and kill and Palestinians himself.
Which do you vote?
Oh they absolutely don't. If I become dictator of America tomorrow, the SEALs that didn't refuse illegal orders would be sent from Moscow to Tel Aviv on day 3. It's possible there are reasons I'm currently polling pretty low in this year's election.
In what nuanced way would voting for Trump change the amount of funding Israel and/or FEMA get?
Mind you, I'm a North Carolinian. FEMA workers are currently being evacuated from the parts of my state that were damaged by the hurricane because armed Republicans are moving around looking for FEMA workers to murder. That's the attitude toward public disaster recovery the grassroots portion of the Republican party is displaying. These are the folks who booed Trump when he said the COVID vaccines work.
If you can't, I can: They have no intention of increasing spending on the American people and every intention of decreasing it. According to the right, hurricanes don't exist; the Democrats are causing them. Their 'solution' isn't to increase aid for those affected by disasters, it's to demonize Democrats. And the more people you can cause to be affected by disasters, the more people you can demonize Democrats to. The Republican party has no plans to govern the United States or improve the lives of any of its people; they only intend to gather power and wealth for their own elite.
The choice Americans face at the polls this November is "I kinda don't care about anybody" and "I actively hate and want to starve to death anyone who isn't in my billionaire BFF club." Seems I'm in the voter apathy party.
If you're a real North Carolinian then you have friends, family, and neighbors who are Republican. You would know better than anyone what information gap and knowledge is being presented to them with local radio and their social circle. Stop spreading misinformation, that damns us all. Instead try to educate and show them the subtle difference in what's being presented to them and the logical fallacy the republican mindset leads to. There are no militia hunting down FEMA
edit: forgot article link
In the treaties that have been going on since WW2 between the US and Israel, which aren't easily broken, not even by a president.
Life and politics are more complicated than just blocking transactions.
People aren't asking her to nuke israel, they're asking her to stop funding Israel.
