    Correction.

    The US does not benefit from it. The increasingly fascist and plutocratic ruling class benefits from it.

    We, the tax payers, are the ones being robbed.

    The money goes from our pockets, gets laundered through Israel. The Israelies bribe our politicians with it, then enrich the military contractors with what’s left.

    Palestinians get slaughtered. Tax payers get bled like stuck pigs. The police become more militarized. The party distinction lessens. Then, when Gaza has been successfully ethnically cleansed, a “completely unforeseen terrorist attack” (that was totally not committed by the Pentagon) will happen in America, and Iran will be blamed.

    A major population of the children of dutiful bootlickers between the ages 18 and 23 will go off to war and ravage Iran, Syria, Lebanon… the entire Middle East, taking their direct orders from the IDF. Israel will expand and will continue to thrive as the luxury epicenter for the uber-rich and powerful, protected by the Iron Dome surrounded with American youth and warships.

    At the same time, American Palestinians will be identified as domestic terrorists, along with anyone who spoke up in Palestine’s defense. They will be round up, pushed out of major population centers, and will face the same treatment Gaza got. Not only will there be the taxes>Israel>politician payoff>weapons pay-loop, but the taxes>Pentagon>politician payoff>weapons pay-loop will be fired back up full force.

    Then on to the next race whose country of genetic origin gives America/Israel any reason.

    It is all SO painfully see-through and boring.

    It is all that happens over and over and over again. For the entire span of human history.















  • I’m not sure I understand the question.

    Trying to answer, I’d say that the prompt is being created by a “boolean brain”.

    Sorry if that seems harsh.

    The American ballot has never been boolean (true or false, 2 answers accepted ONLY, in code 0 or 1, in practice apples or oranges).

    America had always had ballots explicitly designed to not be boolean.

    You can pick blue. You can pick red. You can pick “naw”, you can pick chartreuse (Ross perot).

    The American ballot has always been designed for democracy.

    This cycle, more than any cycle in the past, I feel we are being bullied into “Pick geriatric white male genocidal tyrant A or pick geriatric white male genocidal tyrant B”.

    One wholesale geriatric white male genocides, but can sit for an hour speaking (outrageously stupid) sweet nothings to the crowds.

    The other geriatric white male genocides, but can’t get 12 words into an isolated white house address before fucking it all up and shuffling out the door like his pampers are full.

    I reject the narrative that American democracy is boolean.

    I’d love Ro Khanna running for president with Bernie Sanders as his VP, running Independent. I would vote for that all day for 1000 days.

    Since I won’t be able to vote for that, I plan on abstaining, and hoping for liberal leadership that is anti war, would never engage in genocide, who will give Flint clean drinking water, and above all else, deserves a fucking vote.
