Isn't it lovely that, in these times of polarization, division and conflict, all of Congress can come together and join hands in the common cause of genocidal slaughter of innocents.

When has a bipartisan bill not been an attack on human rights or basic decency?
And of getting bribed and/or blackmailed by AIPAC.
Fascists support fascists and dictators. That's why Trumps only allies are Russia, NK, SA, Turkey, and Israel.
Genocide is profitable though. Ever consider that?
In his speech, Sanders, an agent of US imperialism, observed that the US ruling class’ open support for war crimes in Gaza undercuts attempts by Washington to advance “human rights” arguments to justify US interventions and military actions around the world.
Does anyone know why this site refers to Senator Sanders as an "agent of US imperialism"?
This is very strange and makes it difficult to take this article seriously - which is a shame given the ongoing genocide.
It is a socialist website, they still love to be edgy no matter how old they are.
And by "socialist," read Trotskyite. Don't expect any socialist thinking that emerged since their wonder boy got an ice axe in the cabeza in 1940.

Good! We wouldn't Want to ALIENATE the REPUBLICANS who will NEVER Vote for Us!
But alienating our base so that we can lose elections to MAGA republicans is perfectly OK.
Obviously, the problem is with the voters, not us, say the Democrats.
Do you think Jeffrey Epstein was the first or the only guy blackmailing politicians and officials for Mossad?
A correct headline: most of the Democrats and all of the Republicans supported the genocide.
Even more correct: most of the US government supports genocide, and don't care that their constituents don't.
WHY is it so fucking hard for them to take a hard line against genocide?? What the fuck. I feel like I’m going crazy watching this.

I am old enough to remember 9/11. The only reason I can think of is that the US wants Muslims to die and they don't care who does it.
Israel wants muslims to die. The US doesnt give a crap about muslims unless they are paid to or they interrupt oil shipments.
The US was bankrolling Israel long before 9/11.
That's exactly it. I just don't get it. Seems like a no-brainer to me, but apparently I'm wrong.
I guess it's about money? Or they still think that being against genocide will lose them votes in the future? Or something.
No, its profit. They're making big bucks on the weapon sales.
Over half of the US population is opposed to sending weapons to the Zionists.
Our government is full of geriatric fucks who are on the wrong side of history. Plus some younger ones on the wrong side. Basically none of them represent the will of the majority of young people. But it's fine, whatever, fuck it.
Truly a victory for bipartisanship
Is it good? That's not germane.
If I have to vote for mid term, likely third party. Then Democrats have that Pikachu face. They have been compromised
They have been compromised
That's exactly. They have been compromised by a foreign government.
It's worth noting that all of the 15 voting to restrict arms sales were Democrats.
These are the 15 Democrats that actually gave a shit about human rights and ending genocide:
Bernie Sanders (Vt.),
Richard Durbin (Ill.),
Martin Heinrich (N.M.),
Mazie Hirono (Hawaii),
Ben Ray Luján (N.M.),
Tim Kaine (Va.),
Andy Kim (N.J.),
Ed Markey (Mass.),
Jeff Merkley (Ore.),
Chris Murphy (Conn.),
Brian Schatz (Hawaii),
Tina Smith (Minn.),
Chris Van Hollen (Md.),
Elizabeth Warren (Mass.),
Peter Welch (Vt.).
Fuck every other Democrat and Republican Senator that voted to support genocide
Both Hawaii senators voted for human rights and against genocide! I am pleased. At least we have a tiny sliver of civilization left in the US government. NM too, looks like. Good on you, NM.
So 15% of the senate, 30% of the partizan faction in the Democratic Party feels this way.
It may be that this is an issue that is large enough to be electorally relevant.

Noted
Israel seems to own chuck and therefore Senate Democrats.
Their supporters are all individually owned. They're not just following worthless, self-serving sack of shit Schumer.

LOL. "but why do ppl not vote?"
usa is no democracy. it has always been a wet dream for greedy pigs.
throw them out. may the real native americans get their land back.
So we either get Republican leaders who want everyone to suffer, or democratic leaders who only want others to suffer.
I quit earth.
Hold on now, I think you're misconstruing the position.
It's not that they want everyone to suffer, it's that everyone deserves to suffer ... unless chosen by birthright/god to inherit at least 10x what constitutes lifetime earnings for the Middle Class.
You see, they were chosen to lead. Just like the kings of old. Why can't the plebs see that?
Sorry, Elon Musk has already copyrighted that move. You've been served.
fuuuuuuuuuuuck
Guess we're all in this together then, right?
Democratic leaders might not want everyone to suffer, but frankly it doesn't matter because their policies make everyone suffer anyway (among a host of other things, by giving legitimacy to fascists). The difference between Democrats and Republicans is one of degree, not kind.
Can you further explain how Democrat policies make everyone suffer and give legitimacy to fascists? I assume you're talking about old style corpo dems?

Good to see that with all thats going wrong, at least the AIPAC bribes continue to flow as usual.
Senate Democrats couldn't overwhelm anything right now.
This is why Canada doesn’t want any of you cunts here.
