I am just destroyed by this. I genuinely had a little faith in humanity that people wouldn't fall for this bullshit but I guess I sorely was mistaken.
Laitmer is a conservative, racist piece of shit who is going to take over Manchin's job of fucking things up for progressives. Fucking hell this sucks.
To top it off, Israel just successfully dropped a political nuke on a critic and will likely have everyone running scared in the future.
Machin is in a different chamber
Way to focus on the important parts 🙄
It matters though. The weight of a single Rep in the House is far less than a US Senator. It sucks, of course, but very relevant. He can't be a Manchin.
You can abuse your position as a holdout and potentially fuck everything up in either chamber. Bills require passage in both chambers... but I'm sure you knew that.
I just hope there are enough gains in the house to make his ass irrelevant.
Israel also failed with every other progressive so far. And this guy had a target on his back from the day he pulled the fire alarm to delay a vote.
This guy had a target on his back because he's a progressive. The fire alarm thing was just a weak spot.
That's my point. He gave them ammunition. He made himself a joke. You can't survive that without big party support.
He created a vulnerability, yes. aipac exploited it.
I agree.
To top it off, Israel just successfully dropped a political nuke on a critic and will likely have everyone running scared in the future.
And then in a decade or so when Israel does something equally heinous we'll have an entire new generation wondering why the US supports Israel.
