      Biden and Harris are not it if you want to push Democrats and the country left. They aren’t as far right as Trump and his buddies, but the are left of center but pretty classic Democrats. Bernie was the guy to push things left, but the Democrats rejected him. Without a good progressive candidate in place to challenge in the primary, we won’t see that push left. This election it’s Harris as the best bet for keeping Republicans from doing serious long term damage to this country.

    The US’s currently level of military aid is unsustainable, even for the most wealthy empire in history. Domestic production has been showing signs of not being able to keep up for a while now.

    I see some of the earlier spending during the Cold War. Seems we saw the writing on the wall before the collapse.

      Damn. Mask off huh?

      Israel is an illegitimate state built off of stolen land and dead bodies.

      Israel is committing an ethnic genocide and with America’s help is destroying Palestine which has a right to the land unlike the Israelis.

      If there is a god I hope he is not merciful to the Israelis who have engaged in these atrocities.

      From the river to the sea Palestine will be free

      Also fuck you

    Palestine gets about $500 percapita in foreign aid, annually. Israel was around $200 last I checked.

      Buddy, taking this chart alone (17.9b) and the wikipedia population of israel (9.842m), we get close to 2000 per capita.

      Something here ain’t mathing to me.

      You mean in military aid or are you trying to muddy the waters? Humanitarian aid is the opposite of military aid. Without the military aid to Israel, it may be they don’t need as much in Palestine.
