The United States has announced the approval of the sale of more than $7.4bn in bombs, missiles and related equipment to Israel, which has used American-made weapons to devastating effect during the war in Gaza.
The state department has signed off on the sale of $6.75bn in bombs, guidance kits and fuses, in addition to $660m in Hellfire missiles, according to the US Defense Security Cooperation Agency (DSCA).
The proposed sale of the bombs “improves Israel’s capability to meet current and future threats, strengthen its homeland defense, and serves as a deterrent to regional threats”, the DSCA said in a statement.
Not through the party-controlled process.
We are are walking on the same side of the street now. Please, flesh out your position because it’s not clear what you intend.
This is the trillion-dollar question. How does one combat a system so dominated by money? I certainly don’t have the funds to lobby politicians and the politicians certainly won’t agree to change the system that showers them with gifts and power. This same system leads to greater and greater wealth inequality. The top 10% wealthiest Americans own two-thirds of the wealth: https://www.statista.com/statistics/203961/wealth-distribution-for-the-us
Even if wealth distribution was more equal and the bottom 90% had more wealth in total, it’s a lot easier to get fewer people to agree with collective action and to control the narrative with a coherent policy.
I think you maybe misunderstand. That user was asking what your plan was. Could you state very clearly that you have no plan at all and that you just wanted to talk about how you don’t believe in voting?
You misunderstand the complexity of the problem. There is no simple and clear plan because it’s not a simple and clear problem to solve. I’m pointing out that voting doesn’t work because it clearly doesn’t. It’s there to make you think you have a choice and to divert blame to someone/something other than the billionaires who control the system.
I have a simple and clear plan.
Vote blue no matter who.
Every single important policy I have an opinion on, Republicans oppose. Therefor, removing all Republicans will naturally make progress towards all of my beliefs, including taxing the rich.
I’m already following your plan. It isn’t working.
If you’re sitting here telling people it isn’t working, then you’re not following the plan. You spreading doubt has a tangible effect on people, it is the opposite of what we need.
I’m sure you’ll win the lottery someday. Just keep trying!!
What does he need to “flesh out”? The dems won’t let anyone in outside of the “establishment”. It needs to be entirely torn down to actually listen to people voting for em
There are new democrats all the time. The old guard can’t live forever.
The old guard has lived for hundreds of years. It’s naive to think someone new will come along as if the old guard isn’t the ones keeping all the keys to the castle. Especially with the US and the literal politician dynasties like Kennedys, Clintons, Bushes and others.
You can visually see the old guard dying in real time.
Before the 1950s the DNC was the party for racism, after LBJ signed the civil rights act they slowly became the party of civil rights and equity.
You can literally see the evolution of political parties even when looking at individuals: In the 1970s Biden fought forced desegregation of schools, in 1995 Biden helped write laws that gave a huge sentencing disparity between crack and powder cocaine (which had some racist enforcement repercussions), in 2009 he became the Vice President for the first Black POTUS, in 2011 he went in front of Congress and begged them not to renew that 95 crime bill because of the disparity, and now in 2025 he’s being treated as the icon for federal DEI hiring practices.
Please explain how you would do this.
