Absolutely, but if one has no idea what they are talking about, they might massive brain worms about the US debt and it being caused by our budget deficit. Then they look at all these other countries and learn about the ‘deficit’ we have with them and that’s the same word, same thing, ezpz. Now you simple get a solid 50% debt to income ratio by dividing the two and cutting it in half, check mate economists.
Putting on my best swiss cheese brain, maybe they are treating it ‘like a business’ and trying to do debt to income ratio? So our deficit is the debt then they look at tariffs on the imported goods as the income.
Do you know if this holds for other countries too?
Good thing we dumped the california agriculture water reserves to solve their winter fires.
Please reply like a normal person, what are you doing…
Biden slightly cared about the optics
And hence why people like you were fooled. You had to invent numbers to prove your point because it was never the choice between 150k and 1 million, it has always been the ethnic cleansing of the whole of Palestine. This was in line with ever choice Biden made with regards to Gaza. For optics he “followed the procedure of delivering the food aid” that was stopped at the border, while arming the people threatened to, or actually did, bomb those aid trucks.
What about:
or when aid trucks were bombed by Israel
or the ICC Judge that issued arrest warrants for “intentionally and knowingly deprived the civilian population in Gaza of objects indispensable to their survival, including food, water, and medicine and medical supplies, as well as fuel and electricity, from at least 8 October 2023 to 20 May 2024,”
I am not asking if you would ‘review’ the evidence. I am asking if you would change your opinion. Because what I replied to was you saying:
Oh okay so cutting off the food aid is okay for you? Since thousands of people of dying of bombs you wanna make sure millions die of starvation?
So my point is to ask, is cutting off food and bombing aid trucks so millions can die of starvation okay with you if they do it while wearing a blue tie?
Ive never heard of BDS, thanks for mentioning it.
Oh buddy. Maybe listen to your elders.
What did you want them to cite?
Gender fluid
Hey, our ‘progressive’ party is doing war crimes.
Oh my god, could you fucking commies shut up and fuck off???
I am glad his performance convinced you to do stuff, may it lead to you effective forms of protest that is actually what we need to help our imperfect world.
People that wouldn’t be fired up if it was done to block legislation?
If you were given evidence of starvation conditions and cutting off of aid from before Trump took office would your opinions on this change at all? Like genuinely did you start paying attention when you could use it against Trump?
Neither does talking for 25 hours, blocking legislation does.
I am open to being convinced it was more than performative, mind sharing the context that makes it more than a show, and instead that it is tangible effects on the fascist machinery of the current state?
“Raising awareness” activism has been such a pernicious tool of pacification for the current era.
Wouldn’t it get more media attention, spread a more encouraging message to do this when there is literally any legislation that he is stopping?
Criticizing praxis of those in power is valid and good, and it’s incredibly frustrating to see democrats remember that they can do things like this only when it doesn’t actually have any tangible effect.
You as well!
Good to know, I am sorry our politics are such a fucking problem for everyone!
Just long enough that I start pushing really hard, or needing multiple passes to fully get through a cut, then when I do I kick myself for not doing it sooner.
