Democratic National Convention Megathread! Final Day! 8/22
  • Well rebel progressive scum, take comfort in the fact that she promised a "new way forward" which I assume no more of Bidens "red lines" on the war crimes we participate in that are ignored when they are crossed, and make no mistake, Henceforrth we will have "magenta lines" that we will all be very consternated at. She will have a new, stronger, grumpier way of readng Netenyahu the riot act! she might carry the pallets of bombs herself and slam them down meaningfully as they are delivered. (I mean, not too hard, we dont want the donors to notice) Watch out! Things are changing! Kamala knows us and will be the voice for *ALL Americans! Not just the donors!

    Seriously though, about 60% of the US doesnt support Israels actions in this war and consider war crimes a top tier issue. the dems ignore that at their peril. Trump is not so far behind and they are rolling the dice on something that should be a slam dunk. Anyone notice Trump attacking the zionist Shapiro today? He's trying to court the anti war voters. It wont be enough for me, but it might be the only possible vote for some people.

  • "Do something!" Michelle Obama's big-hearted, urgent, barn-burner of a convention speech
  • yep. I loved the obamas-- still do. I'd vote for M Obama in a heartbeat over Harris. But I wanted so much more out of them. There was No work on justice or cop problems and a continued erosion of civil liberties under Obama. And picking Biden as his vp was cynical and gifted Biden tremendous soft power that he didnt earn. The price for that turned out to be a whole lot of brown mans' blood spilled, and a terrible erosion of the western rules based order and the concept of democracy, and its not over yet. I guess I'm happy Obama was as good as he was, but man, what a missed opportunity for Obama to brand away from the dem centrism that increasingly is simply republican-light. If you had suggested in 2010 that Bdien being president would result in a lot of dead non-whites, closed border, and Roe going down in flames, it would have been spot on 5x5 Bidens stated policy choices. He's always been anti choice, pro-police-thuggery, and anti minority for 50 years, but so many dems are pretending he's jesus christ returned.

  • As Gaza War Is Largely Ignored on DNC Stage, Doubts Grow over Blinken’s Claims on Ceasefire Talks
  • Acting like its a mystery what would be morally tennable is crazy talk. You are pretending not to know and wasting everyones time. But sure, I guess there are kids becoming adults all the time so we can repeat it ..again...

    At minimum: Follow the Leahy laws of not funding or supplying a country involved in war crimes. And following the same spirit of that law: Stop sheltering Israel from consequences at the UN.

  • Key mediator Egypt expresses skepticism about the Gaza cease-fire proposal as more details emerge
  • recent reports are making it clear that Hamas is executing the hostages

    Possible, but there werent all that many to start with and many are still alive. If they start killing them they will run out pretty quick. With the vast majority of structures leveled think how hard it would be to keep hostages alive, and think about whether Israel has been acting to get them back or keep them safe.
