Stop any sales to Israel.

Ha. They'll never do that. It's the only policy they didn't abandon when they got pushback.

Bare minimum is all people want to see. That is why I want democratic socialism but most people are scared off by socialism.

What is called "democratic socialism" these days mostly just amounts to a market economy with a reasonable level of social security and public infrastructure.

[–] ssroxnak@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago

I genuinely don't understand why it's proponents call it democratic socialism. That name will immediately turn off a lot of Americans. Should have called it democratic patriotism or something.

Bare minimum is all people want to see.

Democrats would rather have permanent dictatorship run by a pedo than deliver the bare minimum.

Aipac bought them, neither side will ever go against evil jizzrael

I would like to see Democrats publicly proposing that we will hold ICE agents accountable, with a plan that would actually work - we rendition them to the home nations of their victims.

SCOTUS is so corrupt that the US justice system needs to be bypassed entirely when bringing ICE agents to justice. But if you're an ICE agent that is operating a concentration camp where Venezuelan citizens are killed? Your ass should be sent off to Venezuela for trial. SCOTUS will doubtlessly protect the Nazi thugs, but Venezuela will hold them accountable. Let them rot in some hellhole prison down there.

I want politicians to be talking about this now, to make clear that crimes against humanity will not be forgiven or forgotten.

They cannot do half the shit on your list even if they held a majority which they do not.

[–] Bluefalcon@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 21 hours ago

They could publicly announcs they will and actual support those that do.
