Biden seeks to "allow for the transfer of all categories of defense articles," his request states

The White House has formally requested the removal of restrictions on all categories of weapons Israel is allowed to access from U.S. weapons stockpiles in the country, as I reported in detail for The Intercept today. So you know I’m not exaggerating, here’s a screenshot of the request:

The request would also remove nearly all other limits on Israel’s ability to access the U.S. weapons stockpiles — permanently —by doing the following:

How fucking dare you think and decide for yourself. The fucking herd is going to eat you alive. You HAVE to fall in line, shut up and vote for whatever democrat is the nominee, it doesn't matter if they're a terrible fucking candidate, they're not a Republican and that's all that matters, right?. They're going to downvote you to death not knowing that downvoting doesn't mean shit on Lemmy. Fucking good for you for having a god damn brain. I honestly have so much respect for people like you who are not sheep.

Yup, same happened on Reddit as well. It's like me not wanting to vote for the Democrat automatically means I like the Republican. That's stupid.

I really dislike both major parties, and the vote spread in my area is such that it really doesn't matter who I vote for, so I see no point in voting for a candidate I dislike. If Democrats want me to vote for them, they need to improve their policies. It's really that simple.

So who ate the soggy biscuit?

Well, I'm pretty sure votes are public, so you can always satisfy that curiosity.

The two of you are circlejerking so only you two know which one ate it.

How would public votes help?

I thought you were talking about the people down voting our comments, which I thought were quite constructive. I didn't care about down votes on Reddit and I certainly don't care here, but it seems strange to only get down votes and pretty much nothing in the way of discussion.

I'm open to voting for good candidates regardless of party, and I thought I made that pretty clear. It's odd to me that's somehow an unpopular opinion.

You do you, I’m not doing this with you, buds.

You didn’t answer my question though.
