It may or may not compare, I guess. Hard to tell.

Edit: with inflation and location in mind

Was it in New York and was it recently?

It’s the American standard for titles I think.

Yeah, and they might spend the US money on exactly that, but that means they can spend their own money on something else, like general welfare, which they apparently do. So they can use US money to kill children in Gaza and spend their own money on healthcare 🤷‍♂️

Actually reread your message and see your point. Sure it’s not free money with no cost of Israel but would Israel be able to defend itself without those funds? It still a matter of money coming in and money being spent on welfare.

The irony is still that Israel, currently occupying Palestine, and in constant military conflict, gets money from the US while still maintaining a functioning welfare system.

Money doesn’t have labels on it. If they don’t need to spend their own money on military they can spend it on other things. So you could argue the US is at least indirectly funding these things.

That’s the joke…

It is now, and Shakespeare approves.

I suppose they count electorate in dollars, not people? Maybe they mean to say “broader capital interests”?

Brimstone?

Would it round to the closest denomination? So $1.04 would round to $1, and it would then even out.

Edit: that’s how it works in my country at least.

Edit 2: got it wrong, $0.96 would round to nearest ¢5(assuming it’s the smallest US denomination) so $0.95, and $1.04 would round up to $1.05

What does him being Jewish have anything to do with it?

How so?

Yeah, but it would be hypocritical, which is the point the image is making.

Nobody would or could see the evidence as that would be very weird, immoral and also illegal. Very easy for the people denying it to just call it fake news or AI or whatever. It would require trust in the justice system which is pretty much non existent for MAGA followers, and more recently also eroded in the saner part of the population (albeit for better reasons).

If someone makes threats you have to assume they’re serious and not just wave it away as “unclear”.

I think what he is getting at is that democrats could be more “aggressive” in how to appeals to the working class people. These subtle policies that have marginal benefit don’t have enough perceived impact.

Democrats could promise something simple and with clear benefits to common folks, something that can be easily understood. People want change. I think Bernie was almost getting there when he was running.

MAGA fans have jumped on the bandwagon of “sticking it to the man”, and “draining the swamp”. Which is kind of what Bernie wants to do but sincerely, with a track record to prove it.

Edit: added “perceived “

That’s a pretty dishonest description of Bernie. I don’t dare to say if your statement about unions is true, and it might as well be, but what Bernie is saying here is that it’s not enough. He’s arguing the democrats need to be more progressive. Feel free to disagree with his suggestion though.

I do think that the bigger problem is that the average person lacks the general understanding of how policies affect their lives. They want simple answers and Trump is giving them that. People are shortsighted and have a hard time grasping the bigger picture, and rather vote based on a gut feeling.

It would be a little better if everyone could vote, regardless of felony stays.

They have a pretty fun FAQ on the campaign site explaining the legality of it.

And if not all, at least for the arguably most important day of all in the self declared bastion of democracy.
