We are constantly told that solutions to some of the greatest challenges facing poor and working class people in the U.S. do not exist. Meanwhile, billions taxpayer dollars are being used to fund the genocide of Palestinians.

That very money could have ended homelessness in the United States.

Money for our needs, not the U.S.-Israeli war machine!

This post, at this time, is very obviously pointed at influencing the US election.

Criticizing a genocide doesn't automatically mean someone's trying to influence an election, especially considering that it been constantly criticized for over a year.

trump and his people have literally talked out loud about how great the "beachfront property" will be for Israel once they annihilate Gaza and the Palestinian people.

If both political parties geopolitical goals align with Israel, what exactly leads you to believe this is meant to influence the election? It's not telling you to vote for stien, or trump.

Maybe if people didn't go out of their ways to shield any level of criticism of their representatives we might have a more functional democracy, and maybe there would be less kids dying in Gaza.
