An initiative aimed at boosting Democrats online offers influencers up to $8,000 a month to push the party line. All they have to do is keep it secret—and agree to restrictions on their content.

      Truth is why. Nobody can provide evidence that the Democratic party is doing anything but good deeds. This is a standard response. Downvote and ignore the truth.

        What the hell are you smoking? A genocide doesn’t qualify as a bad deed? What about the non-stop efforts to undermine challenges to the oligarchy? What about the straight up incompetence that lost to Donald Trump twice, running almost identical campaigns? What about raising billions of dollars and wasting it on useless consultants and their old media cronies?

        I’m a perfectly consistent Democratic voter. I also hate the Democrats, and you should too.

            So, is there any little aspect of the DNC spin about Israel that you didn’t swallow whole? You really give them the benefit of the doubt about every claim they make?

            Biden and others explicitly participated in covering up what was happening, not to mention accusing anti-genocide campus protesters of being terrorists and anti-semites. Oh, and it turned out the Biden administration was flat out lying about pressuring Netanyahu for a ceasefire.

            I don’t know if you are speaking out of ignorance or just being completely dishonest. Either way it disgusts me.

                20 million sounds like a lot if you don’t know that Gaza needs at a MINIMUM 4.5 million pounds a day. Great, so that’s 5 days. This was well over a month after it became a famine. And why did we need a pier or airdrops in the first place? Trucks were lined up ready to bring in everything they needed, but were being blocked by our ally Israel.

                I do believe they withheld SOME weapons, and not many at that. We should have withheld ALL weapons because that’s what US and international law require when a genocide is being committed.

                You don’t believe Pete Hegseth literally wants death or exodus of every Palestinian,

                I don’t believe Biden wanted anything less. Even if he did, he did everything necessary to bring it about. His explicit attacks on protesters made his intentions entirely clear. Quit acting like he still has the mask on. The things he was saying and the things he was doing were entirely different. Netanyahu said that they’re trying to minimize civilian casualties. Do you believe that too?

                Biden doesn’t run campuses.

                I never said he did. I’m talking about explicit statements made both by him and repeatedly by his press secretary. He was repeating word for word slanderous AIPAC talking points.
