  • you can still find their stated listed of goals. Trump actually killed the tea party when he passed his deficit bomb tax cuts. Like Paul Ryan basically was the face of the tea party and bailed out once it became obvious he was never serious about it.

    The dem equivalent of the Tea Party are “Blue Dog Democrats” “Joe Manchin/Kristen Sinema” “Eric Adams”

    If you aren’t willing to vote for somewhat icky democrats you get the first ex-republican corporations can scoop up. Not voting will solidify Dick Cheney and Nikki Haley as the furthest left we’ll get to choose from next election because if Joe Biden is electable and Harris isnt, the obvious conclusion democrats will be sold on is that they need to be somewhere between Joe Biden and Donald Trump.















  • I actually think stopping shipments is not going to achieve anything. Polling shows its popular (so I disagree that dems aren’t pushing Kamala, Biden, etc) but if Israel just changes arms suppliers its easily undermined. And we don’t even know if like there’s conditions on shipments like “we won’t use nuclear weapons on Gaza if the shipments continue” There’s just too much we don’t know to vote based solely on another country’s actions.

    I think a better policy is to just take in gazan refugees and make it harder for hardline israelis to visit the US. Do the pullout from vietnam movie script. Of course this is a less popular policy and it is one dems likely aren’t getting pressure to do, even though its low risk and high preservation of human life.
