When the 'real agenda' is up for votes, all of these politicians know to get in line. If she votes against this she won't be prominent in politics for very long
This. Shows how dirty political system is but want to attack AOC.

Yall are ignorant as hell. Yall complain about the money given to Israel but America gives them money because they are its only real foothold in the middle east. With Israel there, they are able to exert their influence and will over a region half a globe away and do things that inevitably benefit Americans (i.e. have a hand on oil production which we need for gasoline, not to mention the supply chain in that part of the world, and if there are ppl in the area trying to get at Americans, they can handle that using Israel as their middle east headquarters if they have to).

For all intents and purposes, Israel is an extension of America in the middle east that serves a range of purposes and y'all dumbasses complain about this all the time cause you have a kindergarten level understanding of geopolitics.
The US doesnt get anything from Israel other than someone to sell weapons to. The US is already in bed with Saudia Arabia who they actually get oil from in the middle east. And no one in the middle east is successfully doing anything to America. You're right it's the US playing world cop which if you like it that's fine but don't act like it's virtuos or for our benefit. And don't act like just because you list off talking points you have more than a toddlers knowledge of the topic as well.

That doesn't have a damn thing to do with what you said breh, so don't try and move the goalpost :mjlol:

Even you had to realize how goofy your comment sounded even if I agree with your moved goalpost comment.

You gotta learn to talk to someone without trying to disrespect them because I didn’t disrespect you breh. I said funding Israel is a need. Then I said giving extra money to Americans is a want. If you can’t understand why I said this then you don’t know much about politics or what people in Washington care about because I promise you breh they don’t give a fukk about it. It’s no different than you job. You think your boss cares about raising your salary or investing in something that benefits his bottom line?

This is false breh. One, Israel is stronger militarily than Saudi Arabia. Two, we can’t completely trust Saudi Arabia as they’re cutting up journalists and funding terrorists behind our backs. Three, it’s never a bad thing to have multiple “friends” in the region as Iran has their hands in multiple countries and would completely run over everyone if we weren’t there, with Russia right behind them. If y’all gonna talk politics y’all gotta think like a government would because y’all sound like activists. Like why wouldn’t you want multiple “friends” in a region that hates us? Makes no sense to argue against it.

I never even tried to disrespect you with my comment? You said that giving money to Americans is a want not a need and I disagreed and explained why.

The average person could care less about what goes on in someone else's household, so why would they care about what goes on in other countries? The average person is literally just trying to get by the best way that they can with the hand that they've been dealt.

It's exactly the reason why I always tell people on here to worry about themselves getting the vaccine instead of expecting your neighbor to care about about your health and safety to convince them to do it. It's cold hearted to say, but it's the truth.

If me and you went to Washington as representatives together, I promise you, we’d both be voting to give money to Israel. It’s one of your few items that nearly everyone votes yes on. They are our watch dog over there. I don’t know how much more plainly I can put it.

shyt like this is why I don't believe in "changing the system from the inside" Anyone who tries either gets burned out or absorbed into it.

I never disagreed with that premise. I understand the purpose of giving money to Israel. I'm well aware of how the realm of politics works.

Like I said though, other Americans could care less about it when they're struggling to make ends meet and get by themselves.

It's hard to "change the system from the inside" as long as you have lobbyist and big businesses running the show and influencing decisions.

Unfortunately, you have a lot of naive people that go into politics thinking that they can actually to do so only to get a unfortunately reality when they realize the true forces at play.

Israeli propaganda. They're a shytty ally that reversed engineers tech we give them and sells to our enemies. Theyre the ones who tampered with our anti-Iran Stuxnet virus and released it to the world. Theyve got the 5th largest nuclear arsenal in the world with the 100th largest population. They have us making decisions in the middle east completely contradictory to our own interests because of their lackies in congress. And when any politician gets out of line they sent in AIPAC to run them out of office.

Tired of that “America East” trope that gets run up the flagpole every time something fukked up happens.




What decisions did Israel get America to make that were contrary to America's best interests?
