The Democrats need to convince everyone who thinks things are worse than they were four years ago that they can reverse course.

You didn't see news stories every week about airplanes failing under Trump. You didn't see a major bank failing and taking one out of every five tech sector jobs in the aftermath. Ukraine and Gaza weren't under attack and Afghanistan was still under American control. You could buy larger portions of food for less money. The Democrats had control of congress for two years and didn't bother to codify abortion.

All they can do is trot out a few statistics and news articles that might please people who think everything's fine due to survivorship bias but they're leaving huge portions of the country alienated.

People weren't cranking up their credit card debt under eyewatering APRs, either. It's not just food. loving everything that people buy on a day-to-day basis is way more expensive than it was four years ago, including, now, money.

I know I've reached full hatred of the dems because Fetterman's heel turn didn't even surprise or phase me. After the neverending series of similar bullshit pulled by previous supposed progressives, I just expect it now.

Though in some ways Fett's move is worse. Sure Sinema caved in a millisecond but at least she didn't heel turn to become pro-genocide.

lol how do you figure? support for israel has been support for genocide for a long rear end time, and every national politician takes aipac bribes. even bernie "f35" sanders
here, she took in $285k bribes to support genocide:

Accepting AIPAC money isn't the same as using your national stature to actively go around and declare your strong support for active invasions and bombing campaigns. And there's also a difference between saying you support Israel in 2022 (bad) vs saying it in 2024 (monstrous). Context matters.

well israel has been an apartheid state since its inception and they've done a genocidal bombing campaign about every 5 years for about the past 4 decades. and those genocides have all been bankrolled by billions of american dollars that congress people taking bribes from aipac vote for.
i guess fetterman has been full-throated in his support for genocide but i don't see much difference between him and the rest of the human garbage taking bribes to vote for funding and supporting genocide. but he only got $240k in declared bribes so maybe he's pandering for more money

Must have been Trump that escalated with the Yemenis, sold all that military hardware to Israel and vetoed votes to stop the genocide in Gaza.

There are hardly any U.S. cargo ships these days.

if a ship is us flagged they have to pay us wages and have us labor protections and it has to be built to us standards, etc (yes lol at us standards being good, but there is way way worse out there)

us flagged commercial ships are extremely expensive to operate so they almost don't exist outside of situations where the ship has to be flagged in the us (jones act shipping mostly)

quote:

The organizer of a planned meeting between President Joe Biden's campaign manager and a group of Arab and Muslim American leaders in Dearborn said it was canceled after some in the wider community objected to the gathering amid fury over Biden's handling of the Israel-Hamas war.

Assad Turfe, who was coordinating the sit-down of Arab leaders and officials with Biden's campaign in Dearborn, said he made the decision to cancel Friday afternoon's group meeting "in the best interest of the community."

"As the community got to learn about the meeting, there was definitely a lot of outrage and, ultimately, the decision was made to cancel the meeting," said Turfe, the deputy county executive of Wayne County whose family is from Lebanon.

Every commercial ship doing international voyages will be broadcasting an imo number that can easily be used to determine the owner and operator of the vessel. I went into more detail in the I/P thread but a sympathetic person with the right position in the UAE/Qatar/Saudi/etc would be able to check every ship transiting the Suez and tell the Houthis which are worth shooting at.
