You keep getting off topic because I don't care about your pet topic.

I don't care, even a little about myanmars genocide. Or the genocide in sudan. Or whatever Russia is doing or whatever gobbledyfuck the third, the warlord of east genovia is doing to puppies and children.

Maybe if I hadn't struggled my entire life while watching people get dumped by the US government, sent to the ME to do war crimes, and luckily come back home only to kill themselves after they learned how pointless their sacrifice was, may e id care about your pet topic of a sovereign country that is not us and is not funded by us invade another country that again is not us.

Maybe if I hadn't watched multiple of my family members die of preventable diseases thanks to not having access to healthcare even after "Obamacare" supposedly solved that problem, id care enough about your pet topic to support sending billions to be wasted on yet another war.

I haven't been to a doctor in my adult life. Id love to go, but the copay on my free insurance is half a weeks pay, before any tests. Id love to spend that but I've never paid less than half my monthly wage in rent. The money isn't there for me to give a fuck anymore. We spent 20trillion on Afghanistan and Iraq, theyre same shit holes they were, with a couple million fewer civilians and more birth defects per capita than anywhere else in the world.

Your pet topic wouldnt end any differently.

You don't delay the bad. Homelessness rose faster under Obama and Biden than bush or trump. Not that the latter two were better in any meaningful way, just the facts as they are. Voting democrat does nothing, voting Republican does nothing. It will always just end up with you worse off. Sometimes, randomly, sooner, sometimes later. If it were as easy as vote Dems to slow down the bad, things wouldn't have degraded for so many so badly that Trump was considered a good candidate to them.

A generic war isn't genocide, and you people don't get to coopt the word genocide just because Israel took away your spotlight.

More over... It's not our problem. We are not the world police. We suck at that job, given we tend to kill 10-20x more civil loans than whoever were supposedly there to kill.

Yeah it sucks Ukraine is getting invaded again it did that a thousand times before I was born it'll do that a thousand more times at least after I die. You know what also sucks? Homelessness exclusively due to corporate greed. The former we can't solve, the latter we can and should before temporarily stopping a different country from invading yet another different country.

Broken systems don't get fixed from within, especially by a party that helped make it this broken.

And there hasnt been a dem that did anything at all regarding climate change since gore gave up and sold useless carbon credits.

That's nice, neither Iran nor Russia cares about the US nor wants to attack us, neither ever did until we started attacking them preemptively.

I, as an American citizen have no enemies, neither do you. If the US government has made enemies, and it has, it did so without my permission, endorsement, or allowance.

Just a reminder homelessness is at the highest it's been since the great depression, bridges are literally collapsing across the US, we still don't have universal health care despite already paying enough in healthcare taxes to fully cover all US citizens and residents, we still don't have free public college, minimum wage now cannot rent a 1 bedroom apartment anywhere in the country, and credit card debt is the highest it's ever been by any measure.

But Israel somehow comes before all of that because ...

Attacking her for being responsible and not having kids in the world her generation fucked beyond all hope of repair is a weird angle; at least no one can confuse it with an attack from the left.

You really enjoy making up things in your head to argue against so you can actually win. Greens are the only center left party in the US, and the only third party on enought state ballots to what n the presidency. That's why Dems have spent over 50 million in lawsuits against them, plus countless millions on the propaganda that informed your opinion. I personally like PSL way more, and would love the 50+ crowd to die off already so we can have a socialist in office again and actually make the country better. But we keep extending the lifespan of those brainwashed fucks, so instead, greens get my vote.

Right now the only way Dems could ever get my vote is steal the green party platform, cut off Israel entirely, and actually start to enact positive change.
