        Because that’s Jesus Land. The US has a large Christian population and the Jewish connections to the religion shapes their perception. I’m overgeneralizing a bit, but that’s the short answer.

    We got big big problems, and none of them have to do with Israel.

    This is a good time to point out that Lemmy is crawling with tankies who would probably love to encourage your tendency to do nothing. Keep shaming them for voting. Keep calling them stupid and hopeless for doing the only thing they can feasibly do without getting shot by police. Give them nothing, and keep it up.

    So, you know, maybe ignore this bullshit.

      Israel lobbies have a lot of say on our policies.

      Our police is trained by the Israeli military and use the same tactics.

      They use these tactics on the palestinian people and the countries around them to tst out new military equipment.

      See Copcity.

      The people in power use the Jewish religion as a cover, they do bot care for colored Jews and Pro-Peace/Pro-Palestine Jews, they smear them.

      Thank you for your feedback!

        This makes me wonder what type of Iron Dome the US has developed. Of course it’s a much larger place, but also there’s much more time to intercept unless Canada or Mexico decide to launch some missiles

    The younger voters need to band together, take political power then strip all rights and entitlements from the elderly. They’ve plundered for far too long with no consequence. This is our last chance before they burry themselves with their ill gotten gains and leave us with nothing but active fires.

      The real problem with boomers is how fucking many of them there are, Gen X and later never had the numbers to make change happen.

        Millenials outnumber Boomers. But Boomers actually go to vote once every 4 years, which is basically all they need to do to have the outsized effect on politics.

      The younger voters

      All five of them? The numbers clearly show that youth is more than content to whine on the internet and stay home on voting day.
