If only Democrats had the stones to do this.

    He could just as well introduce one to raise it to $17000 and a car as bonus.
    He knows it has no chance so that’s why he does it.
    The sheepdog is virtue signaling again pretending to be progressive.

          Thanks for getting Trump elected. Your pragmatic thinking is super helpful.

            I didn’t I’m European.
            And I am very pleased he’s fucking up his own country for once and making it weaker and expediating its inevitable demise.
            It’s a gift to the world.

                  Why do you post so much about US politics while being so ignorant about them?

                  Are you aware that Bernie Sanders is anti genocide and is one of the only US politicians bringing up legislation against providing Israel with weapons and denouncing the genocide there?

                  If there would be any US politician I would expect you to support it would be him, but you’re just talking uninformed shit. Why?

                    LOL
                    As I explained, he only does these things when he’s absolutely sure they will fail.
                    overwhelmingly
                    He has NEVER denounced the genocide.
                    He deliberately refuses to call it that and gets angry when asked to do it.
                    He NEVER called for a ceasefire.
                    He NEVER misses a chance to say Israel has the right to defend itself tho.
                    And NEVER uses the word Israel but “the Netanyahoo government” also deliberate.
                    I can tell you what he did vote for, recognising Jerusalem as the capital of the genociders.

                    Who’s ignorant here?

      People are triggered by your statement but it’s literally true. I mean…

      He voted for the 2001 AUMF in Afghanistan.

      He voted for the 1988 Iraq Liberation Act.

      He endorsed 2024 U.S./UK strikes on Yemen.

      He supported bombing Yugoslavia in the nineties.

      He backed Libya regime change.

      He backed drone strikes in Somalia.

      Interestingly, he always does the American thing right before backtracking. He’s the perfect example of a progressive controlled politician. I mean, we just need to take a look at him: old, frail, and weak-looking, he has never succeeded in any meaningful way.

      He’s no leader and is only relevant today as a means of appeasing Trump’s opposition with gaslighting nonsense like this bill.

      The US has been compromised from within, fighting against fascism alongside those who allowed it to happen is terribly stupid.

        The libs are always against war…except the current one.
        Whatever election as an ‘independent’, in the end he invariably endorses the awful dem candidate, not 3rd parties.
        Including the ghouls Hitlery, Copmala and Genocide Joe.
