    Lmao genocide is not a “highly complex geopolitical issue”

    It is neocolonialism that has been going on for a while (not 1000 years??) and is now ramping up to full on blatant murder, genocide, and devastation for the Palestinian peoples.

    I can think of something US govt can do literally right now to help; STOP GIVING ISRAEL FUCKING WEAPONS!

    But then the poor investors of aero/defense industrial complex will whine and complain that their Raytheon stock went down 5% ☹️. Can’t have that now can we

      I don’t think any of this is controversial to people who understand the world and don’t huff paint all day.

      The problem is in terms of this coming election, using these arguments to allow Trump to get into office will only make the situation far worse, and everyone knows this. Or should know it, it’s pretty obvious, so it’s confusing and suspect when people supposedly on the left are trying to discourage us from voting dem in a couple weeks.
