General Discussion

I'll take "Yes!" for a thousand, and a Daily Double.

Being old, I can remember way, way back to the 2024 election for president. A significant number of grass roots Democrats -- and an even larger number of independents -- were strongly opposed to what Netanyahu was doing in Gaza. They were told that the party couldn't question Israel, much less speak out against genocide. No, sir! Indeed, to put the stamp of approval on pretending it wasn't possible, they brought the pre-corpse of necroconservative Dick Cheney on stage to endorse our ticket's silence on the genocide.

Yet, as John Lennon said, "A conspiracy of silence speaks louder than words." So a bunch of people who thought, "WTF? Isn't being anti-genocide a democratic value?" opted to not vote. Thus, a convicted sex offender/felon won. Those who had assured us that we could only win by ignoring genocide began to put the blame for the loss on the anti-genocide people, who had allowed morals, ethics, and placing value on human life, gosh darn them!

As time has gone on, as it frequently tends to do, more and more people -- including both Democrats on the grass roots' level who do not get donations from AIPAC -- began to recognize that people like those silly college students protesting against the genocide in Gaza were actually right. And they began to learn that, despite main stream media's failure to report on it, that Netanyahu & fiends planned to take over the West Bank as well. This, of course, is because they watch pod casts, or see accurate reports elsewhere on this pesky internet.

Few things could have forced more citizens at the grass roots level to question our nation's unquestioning support of Netanyahu and Israel more than, say, a sneak attack on Iran for the second time during negotiations. And I should add that those savage Iranians wanted to stock up on defensive weapons, just in case some civilized nations were to engage in an unprovoked attack against them. And now that the president is caught in the quicksand with no face-saving way out, he and his misadministration are attacking pod casts. Check out the threat of a law suit by Eric, because Meidas Touch reports accurately which way the wind blows. And we can't have that.

I think that a growing number of grass roots Democrats recognize that we have to crush the maga party in November. That holds the potential for a Congress that at least tries to stop the madness in the Middle East. And that includes stopping the murder of citizens of the West Bank, and the outright theft of their homes and property. If we fail to do so, the West Bank will be subject to more of the insane violence we are seeing in the region. Maybe it's just me, but I think we need to consider electing candidates who refuse to accept blood money/thirty pieces of silver from pro-Netanyahu sources.
