The world feared what Donald Trump would do to Muslims upon winning the presidency in 2016. But in the year since October 7, a genocide of a mostly Muslim population has been overseen and made possible by his liberal opponent, Joe Biden.

      Took over the Democrats? Bill Clinton gleefully gave them the party and theyve been shifting further to the right since

        Democracy only works when parties hold each other accountable for the good of the country. Republicans have abandoned this since before Clinton. Blaming the Democrats for the Republicans moving the goalposts is the cancer at the heart of US politics.

          Why do democrats make no effort to move the goalposts back?

            That’s how they’re ratchet effect works. Republicans push regressive legislation further to the right, and Democrats prevent it from going back.

          Democrats are colluding with Republicans to move those goal posts. And I keep moving it further and further to the right every election.

      Biden was always had neoconservative instincts, but he’s an opportunist who can read the room (or used to be able to). Obama picked him as VP because he was overly-addicted to compromise. Now Biden’s a lame duck following the Likudnik gang around. He’s always been an admirer of Bibi, and he picked a Secretary of State who may as well be JStreet personified.

      His VP is a rudderless boat about to inheret a White House built for a neoconservative presidency. She will give Israel most of what they demand and they’ll still hate her.

      Her very normal Jewish American husband is being written about like a race traitor or something by Jewish News Service, the Jewish Chronicle and other racist outlets who can’t make up their mind as to whether it’s good that the First Gentleman will be Jewish or bad that he race-mixed with a non-Jew to produce non-Jewish kids.

      Jacobin is not pro Russia, you’re just flat out lying. Used to be that undignified liars had some sense of shame once they did their dirty lies routine, but it seems like no one does anymore. Thats the legacy of MAGA and trump right there. Good job PugJesus.

        Cited plenty of articles where they do nothing except peddle Russian talking points and/or ‘bothsides’ an ongoing genocide, guy.
