It's wild how non-American's have so much time to criticize us.

and that's the biggest take away, they will continue to live their lives whatever it is that happens with this election, they will not be directly affected, since they do not live here.

What else you don't seem to realize is politics in the U.S. has forever and will forever be about choosing the lesser of two evils. No politician will ever be able to unite us as a nation or make all of us happy. Also, to be a successful politician you have to do some really terrible things and lose your ethics. 

 

Always remember with how much yall criticize non-American's we are a lot more free than other countries, have more resources and still have immigrants migrating here for a better life. 

americans have more freedom than other countries but don't have the freedom to chose between more than two candidates who are "both evil"?

You make it sound as if Americans adults are infants, only capable of making gurgling ‎sounds and soiling their pants.

 

Surely American adults can see how terrible US media is and look elsewhere?

 

Israeli media are often terribly biased, but sometimes far more honest than CNN. For example on Haaretz you'll find evidence that it was Netanyahu who attempted to block every hostage deal. Not sure if this story has appeared on mainstream US media, or if it will ever appear there.

 

No one other than Americans are responsible for their biased media, terrible political parties, terrible candidates and voting systems.

 

So now you are heading into an election and many Americans will vote for genocide.

But you won't take responsibility for it will you? You'll blame it on someone else.

I still don't understand why the US engages in these wars with no benefits. Like Why?

I mean, have you ever noticed how messed up US history is? They fought a war over slavery and that is only the tip of the iceberg.....

Well, where are the benefits then? For example, the Iraq war was a mess and triggered the 2008 financial crisis so.

As someone who lives in PA I have to vote for her, but it's probably the least enthusiastic vote I've ever cast. I just avoid the election as a topic because I do not publicly support her.

Why the war in Iraq was fought for Big Oil

https://edition.cnn.com/2013/03/19/opinion/iraq-war-oil-juhasz/index.html

 

As for Israel, they are an imperialist outpost and act as the US' watchdog in the middle east. Without them the US doesn't have nearly as much geopolitical control over the region and access to natural ressources. Hence the unconditional support.

and yet it was a failure.....also If the US control of the Middle East was so successful, the situation wouldn't end up like this, right?. Let's be honest that the US involvement in the middle east was a huge mess with no benefits in the end.

Billions of $$$ from the US taxpayer get sent to Israel, but this military aid has to be spent on US arms and other military equipment, which means the money comes back to companies like Lockheed Martin, Boeing, Raytheon and General Dynamics. Of course a percentage of this finds it's way back to politicians campaign funding and this is in addition to support from pro Israel lobby groups like AIPAC.

 

Quote

On average, House members who voted to authorize $886 billion in military spending took four times more money from military contractors than members who voted against the bill. Senators who supported the NDAA took five times more arms industry cash than the senators who opposed it.

Quote

The top earner of military contractor cash so far in the 2024 Senate election cycle is Jack Reed (D-R.I.), who has raked in more than $590,000 in campaign and PAC contributions from military contractors. Senator Reed is chair of the Senate Armed Services Committee. Coming in second is Ranking Member of the Senate Armed Services Committee, Roger Wicker (R-Miss.). Senator Wicker has accepted more than $534,000 in political donations from the military industry this election cycle.

The children dying in Gaza and Lebanon are part of pipeline that takes funds from the taxpayer and rewards the arms makers and the politicians who approve the budgets.

So in other words it's a lose-lose situation then? That confirms my question

And when you have smaller siblings that has no choice but to be under custody of either one of them, what now? You still don't vote?
 

Because one of them is taking custody whether you like it or not.

Useless c*nt. So glad I voted third party

[Tovitov]

Kamala has all but given up on trying to win over Muslim voters or voters whose main issue is Israel and Gaza. She made the choice to not buck Biden and not shift against Israel.

 

If she loses because there were enough of these voters to flip a bunch of swing states, than that's on her. But I'm still voting for her and all I can do is hope she's better on the issue while she's in office because we know for a fact Trump wont be.

The problem (among many others) is that her answers are so structured and calculated. She is not even honest. We don't even know what her true feelings are about this war. She's just saying what she is instructed to say. They are all playing games.
