The United States has announced the approval of the sale of more than $7.4bn in bombs, missiles and related equipment to Israel, which has used American-made weapons to devastating effect during the war in Gaza.
The state department has signed off on the sale of $6.75bn in bombs, guidance kits and fuses, in addition to $660m in Hellfire missiles, according to the US Defense Security Cooperation Agency (DSCA).
The proposed sale of the bombs “improves Israel’s capability to meet current and future threats, strengthen its homeland defense, and serves as a deterrent to regional threats”, the DSCA said in a statement.

We are are walking on the same side of the street now. Please, flesh out your position because it’s not clear what you intend.
What does he need to “flesh out”? The dems won’t let anyone in outside of the “establishment”. It needs to be entirely torn down to actually listen to people voting for em
Please explain how you would do this.
This is the trillion-dollar question. How does one combat a system so dominated by money? I certainly don’t have the funds to lobby politicians and the politicians certainly won’t agree to change the system that showers them with gifts and power. This same system leads to greater and greater wealth inequality. The top 10% wealthiest Americans own two-thirds of the wealth: https://www.statista.com/statistics/203961/wealth-distribution-for-the-us
Even if wealth distribution was more equal and the bottom 90% had more wealth in total, it’s a lot easier to get fewer people to agree with collective action and to control the narrative with a coherent policy.
I think you maybe misunderstand. That user was asking what your plan was. Could you state very clearly that you have no plan at all and that you just wanted to talk about how you don’t believe in voting?
You misunderstand the complexity of the problem. There is no simple and clear plan because it’s not a simple and clear problem to solve. I’m pointing out that voting doesn’t work because it clearly doesn’t. It’s there to make you think you have a choice and to divert blame to someone/something other than the billionaires who control the system.
I have a simple and clear plan.
Vote blue no matter who.
Every single important policy I have an opinion on, Republicans oppose. Therefor, removing all Republicans will naturally make progress towards all of my beliefs, including taxing the rich.
