I am so disappointed in you. What happens when the promise of a later vote is not kept?

People have to start treating their freedoms and basic civics like a college major.

I love how you think Republicans are more charming for โ€œwearing their hearts on their sleevesโ€ when they are planning a fun resort on the graves of millions.

I have no problem with the implication but this was a discussion about Americans and our poor decision of choosing this administration based on *one issue* and you have tried to turn it into something else.

Oh and whatโ€™s worse is snatching people off American streets and disappearing them on top of the status quo.

Trump working behind the back of the Biden Administration to embolden Netanyahu to continue his behavior despite calls for peace and cease fire. Iโ€™d say thatโ€™s worse.

I donโ€™t understand your point. This discussion was around how things now arenโ€™t any better than they were. There was an expectation from American Palestinians that things would be better or at least not worse but yet here we are.

05.04.2025 18:24 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 0    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

Perhaps, but voting Republican has wrought so much more than a bad policy on Palestine.

It's midnight in Washington, and in case you're catching up...

So far tonight, Republicans have blocked amendments that would:

โ€“ Remove tariffs hurting families
โ€“ Protect disaster response and recovery
- Secure Social Security benefits
- Preserve federal lands

Are there agencies and lawyers standing by to help these folks prove their eligibility?!

Totally agree. Because we apparently decided that a Harris administration would be just as bad as a Biden one, what has been the Trump administrationโ€™s response to all of this?

Congress can be as involved as they want to be but choose not to.

He was not larger elected due to inflation. He was elected largely due to xenophobia and racism.

Please explain why Dems even went. I think the strategy should be to distract from him in big ways. Last night, Dems could have gone to those republican districts where their reps wonโ€™t meet with them. They could have planned a mass protest on the other side of the city that responded to his speech.

05.03.2025 13:14 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 0    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 0    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

I am frustrated. Dems would have done better to skip the address entirely and schedule town halls in vulnerable Republican districts where the representatives and senators refuse to meet. Other Dems could have organized a protest in another part of the city during the
speech. Why is this so hard?

I sincerely hope that the Dem plan for the State of the Union address isnโ€™t going to be โ€œsit on your hands and when they go lowโ€ฆโ€ Honestly I hope they donโ€™t attend at all.

I donโ€™t believe that you can ever trust people like that. They will turn to whatever is expedient for them at any moment. We should focus on people who didnโ€™t vote at all.
