Congress is preparing to give Israel unprecedented privileges via the 2027 National Defense Authorization Act. Section 219 of the draft NDAA directs the secretary of defense to expand integration of the U.S. and Israeli military sectors. If Section 219 becomes law, U.S. and Israeli militaries will be joined at the hip.

How much longer until Isreal can just start drafting Americans citizens to fight and die for it in some holy war genocide?

      Don’t worry: the people won’t do anything about it.

              Oh gosh, is that why you are so upset with the people!? You think THEY are in charge…

              https://www.cambridge.org/core/journals/perspectives-on-politics/article/testing-theories-of-american-politics-elites-interest-groups-and-average-citizens/62327F513959D0A304D4893B382B992B

              Simply put, the concept that the common person has an influence on politics is spurious.

              Do elections happen? Yes. Do you get to vote? Yes. Does any the policies that you want matter to the person you voted for? No.

              This is what is meant by democracy just being a window dressing. It is a facade used to placate people who can’t see the bigger picture. A useful distraction for rubes. A convient lie for those who are in charge.

              Your vote is not equivalent to a dollar. The US government runs on money. You either have enough to influence or you don’t. Most people don’t.

              Perhaps in a system not dominated by monied interest this could play out differently, but that is not the world we live in.

                  Someone explains to you with proof why you are full of shit and that wealthy people control the government and you call them a liberal. I am sorry sir, but you are acting like a complete idiot.

                  There are strategies to get what you want, but blaming the people has to be the most brain dead response ever.

            At some point the public being some of the most passive cowards on the planet need to be blamed.

            Oh look, we have pedo nazis now with masked gangs kidnapping neighbours, we can vote extra hard next time.

            Most democracies would have toppled the government with protests already. It is fascinating how much the American public can take.

              Would they though? A lot of so-called democracies are turning more and more right-wing since they’re in a similar situation with far-right parties dragging “the center” towards the right and actual left-wing parties made mostly irrelevant due to the influence of the rich. Trump and gang have the subtlety of a hydrogen bomb, but that doesn’t mean other countries aren’t also suffering from rampant corruption just because the politicians have more decorum.

              At some point the people not in charge need to be blamed -Signed by wealthy people in charge.

              Oh look, the American people are deceived by liars. It is not the propagandist fautl though!

              Democracy!? What you see sir are the window decorations.
