Woohoo I am glad we care more about money instead of the fact that we are supporting the killing of innocent children.
Thank god that almighty dollar is there, it is so much more important than human life!
Human life is supported by the almighty dollar. Like it or not, that’s how it is. I have to feed my children, don’t I? And Biden did the best he could to get the economy back on track. He succeeded. But by all means, let’s not give him any credit because he is not perfect.
So that, to you, is worth all of the dead children that have happened because of the weapons we sent?
I think the deal is more "My family is safe and healthy and that is important to me" over "wow I don't care at all about dead foreign kids."
In a 2-party system, sometimes that's the best you can get... and frankly, I give more of a shit about myself and my friends/family who would be much worse off under Republicans than Democrats, enough that if I have to id vote Democrat every time until the immediate threat of Republicans is dealt with.
And again, because you just don't seem to get it, Republicans have an even worse track record on the middle east lol. (Not intended as a whataboutism - more as an explanation that the two-party system sucks, and how not voting for one effectively means the other wins)
