Sanders: Trump will be ‘closer to Netanyahu’ on Gaza if reelected
Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) said Sunday he believes former President Trump will have similar views of the Israel-Hamas war to those of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu if he is reelected. …
“To those people who are saying, ‘Well, I can’t support Harris because she disagrees [with] Trump on that issue’ … he will be closer to Netanyahu,” Sanders said on CNN’s “State of the Union.”
Sanders said he thinks Vice President Harris can be moved “on that issue” of the Israel-Hamas war.
Harris has called for a cease-fire deal and pushed for the war in Gaza to end, but she faces scrutiny from both sides — from people who want to see Hamas defeated and those who call for the end of the war in Gaza.
“So, if we are able to elect Harris, I think we’re going to have an opportunity to move her on that issue, to make it clear, we cannot allow children in Gaza to starve to death,” Sanders said. “She will be open to that. I doubt that Trump will.”
You're viewing a single thread.
you have to hand it to the "vote 3rd party" tryhards: they never shut the fuck up with their stupid bullshit
they never shut the fuck up
Just wait til the day after the election thru the following 3.5 years
You can't blame em for wanting better and the third choice is a tantalizing offer, but I feel it's not pragmatic to their goals and neglects to recognize the fascist threats of Donald Trump and the RNC.
You can’t blame em for wanting better
Blaming people for wanting better is basically what lemmy is for.
Let's ignore that fascism coming from within so we can focus on the other fascism.
Is it so strange to think that a Trump win would have worse outcomes than a Harris win?

Is it so reprehensible to be dissatisfied with "not as bad as trump"?
Absolutely not. There should be better options for Americans, ones that even give a shit about a majority of Americans.
Hell. That's literally what my comment at the start of this chain says
What should be and what is are almost never the same thing. We should keep pushing for what should be while facing the hard truths of what the reality actually is.
Try it. Try pushing against genocide regardless of who supports it.
See what happens.
I am, I'm still voting for the candidate I think I can help move on the issue instead of just letting the guy who will send the military against protestors win.
The guys arguing against you are astroturfers
I already voted for Harris. I do not believe she will move on this issue, unless it's to the right.
If your temper tantrum pushes a worse power into place, fuck you 🫶
Already voted for Harris.
You just want critics of genocide to shut up and be as happy as you are about it.
It's the same damn result. They only answer to the donor class
Your second sentence does not imply your first, and if you pay any attention you'll see significant differences. My LGBTQ+ friends and family, for example, will not have the same experience under each party. Nor will women or Black people. Nor will schoolteachers or schoolkids, or anyone depending on all kinds of public services.
Yes, both parties are corporatist, capitalist, and pay more attention to the rich. But only one is preparing a fascist theocracy and promising revenge on everyone who doesn't match their narrow template for an acceptable human being. To say both parties are the same reveals a certain ignorance and perhaps the privilege not to be affected directly by the differences.
You can only speak in 3rd person about LGBTQ issues, I can speak in 1st hand. I've seen time and again for decades that dems have betrayed my community while demanding our unquestioning support. Harris throwing trans under the bus last week is a prime example

Do you have a link for this? I don't remember her saying anything of the short.
I'm betting even if you did hear the interview you and liberals would dismiss it as 'that's not what she said'
She says they need to follow the law, which includes the 500 anti trans laws passed by Republicans

Yes, she looks very bad there. She tries to evade the question several times over, and refuses to say anything positive about trans rights at all, even when the interviewer gives her several chances to do so. I still believe the Republicans would be worse, since they are the party that has been hurrying to introduce as many very trans-hostile laws as possible around the country. Democrats will fail to defend rights; Republicans will make sure rights are taken away, while inciting hatred and actively persecuting trans people. So as with many things, the Democrats may be bad on this, but Republicans are significantly worse.
I understand people not wanting to give the Democrats the sense that they have a mandate they don't have, but right now it's also necessary to keep Trump out. It sucks, but real progress will not come through the ballot box alone and must be fought for alongside electoral politics.
That's the democrat ratchet effect in action
I think that's an incredibly myopic outlook and while Harris isn't going to single handedly fix the myriad of issues that America both faces at home and brings to the globe, it's hyperbolic to pretend that the outcomes will be 100% identical should Trump win versus Harris.
I doubt the outcome for Palestine will change much, but Palestine isn't the only thing the president can affect.
Less myopic and more privileged. Glad theyre in such a position to feel smugly while others suffer.
I don't think the people who are genuinely very concerned about the effects of US imperialism so much so that they are blinded to suffering at home tend to be a privileged class.
While you advocate for the people keeping them marginalized
Enjoy your new openly fascist right wing party.
And you go enjoy your well-aged fascist party 🥳🥳
Socialists are not fascist, that's reserved for the duopoly
And which party is that exactly? Who are you voting for?
I doubt you can vote from st. petersburg
Who I'm voting for is irrelevant. It's neither the blue fascist or the red fascist.
Let's expedite the fascism coming from within so there are no brakes on fascism elsewhere....
As far as we know, it's just one guy in Moscow named Dimitri with a bunch of burner accounts.
Paycheck ends in 10 days finish strong!
Because the vast majority of them aren't real.
