This is incorrect. One guy raised an objection, which the state department can and probably will ignore.

I guess republicans controlled the purse and the executive branch could have refused to execute it. Is takes time to convince people something is wrong with Israel. Especially because of the Holocaust.

Care to share a source besides a Twitter screenshot of an unsourced headline?

Few people in politics can be trusted. The very nature of the game is telling people what they want to hear. If you want trustworthy politicians, then you need to have voters willing to hear, accept, and prefer the truth - no matter how unpleasant. Only then can true progress be made on a consistent basis.

Of course. Politics is always opportunistic. Few politicians do anything for free. Even someone like Mamdani just realized that its politically profitable to do left wing politics and went for it. That doesnt make him a "bad" person, but he wouldnt do it if the political landscape wasnt ripe for it.

A place for for news, discussion, memes, and links criticizing capitalism and advancing viewpoints that challenge liberal capitalist ideology. That means any support for any liberal capitalist political party (like the Democrats) is strictly prohibited.

A zero-tolerance policy for bigotry of any kind. Failure to respect this will result in a ban.

RULES:

1 Understand the left starts at anti-capitalism.

2 No Trolling

3 No capitalist apologia, anti-socialism, anti-communism, or liberalism, liberalism is in direct conflict with the left. Support for capitalism or for the parties or ideologies that uphold it are not welcome or tolerated.

4 No imperialism, conservatism, reactionism or Zionism, lessor evil rhetoric. Dismissing 3rd party votes or 'wasted votes on 3rd party' is lessor evil rhetoric.

5 No bigotry, no racism, sexism, antisemitism, homophobia, transphobia, ableism, or any type of prejudice.

6 Be civil in comments and no accusations of being a bot, 'paid by Putin,' Tankie, etc. This includes instance shaming.
