Whenever you need a concise moral judgment 2 years after it would be helpful, warrenn is there.

Elizabeth, you might want to save your energy until 2025

Didn't Eli Valley predict this exactly? Like, as soon as Trump won, Democrats would "bravely" stand up and declare that genocide is wrong.

Warren called for arms embargoes seven months ago. Wait for someone who hasn't been against this for months before taking the told-you-so victory lap.

Can you provide a source for this? I haven't heard Warren call for an arms embargo, but maybe I'm not in tune. From what I understand very few senators support the arms embargo, despite wide support.

Blocking the sale of a military aircraft is not the same thing as an arms embargo.

They are beginning the "face turn" for Gaza just like they did for Iraq. They fully support and do everything to paint the protesters and anyone against the wars/invasions as "extremists" or doing the bidding of another nation. But the moment that they take a large enough L, they start loudly acting like it is they who have been on the "front lines" fighting against the shit they helped spread. They will go for the cheap "pops" and use the language of leftists and the people that have been actually in the shit. Just like they did with civil rights and women's rights by painting those brave souls as libs/centrists and remove all leftist bits out.

I am almost convinced that the Dems actually wanted to lose badly. As they tend to get more blind voter support while playing the "underdog" role. But the moment they get control again, we only hear about how they "can't do x because bipartisanship (or whatever fake reasons)."

Democrats: Coming out against genocides they started and perpetuated for decades, bravely.

Gaza humanitarian situation

Netanyahu could look directly into the camera and say "I am committing a genocide in Gaza" and they would still refuse to call it a genocide.

“I am committing a genocide in Gaza”

Standing ovation in US Congress

[–] Assian_Candor@hexbear.net 45 points 1 day ago

Lmao

Hasan called it, Democrats about to become the most ardent critics of genocide

[–] RedWizard@hexbear.net 20 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

Lol its fucking working. These stupid fucks could have avoided all this by arriving at this conclusions a year ago. Narrow sighted ghouls.

[–] dRLY@lemmy.ml 14 points 1 day ago

It isn't working, we are just seeing fake stances on shit that she and all the Dems were tripping over themselves to create from the jump. Fuck her and all the Dems! Don't let them ever convince you or anyone that they are to be trusted any more than the Repubs. If the Dems did win big at all levels, they would just keep sending weapons and military aid (just like they have been).

She is still a horrible person who have excused Israeli crimes in the past. Hopefully this is the beginning of real change.

[–] Lovely_sombrero@hexbear.net 11 points 1 day ago

She is doing this only because it doesn't matter, Biden is leaving and he can do whatever he want for two more months.

[–] adespoton@lemmy.ca 12 points 1 day ago (2 children)

I think she’s finally realized that almost all the compromise has been one-way.

[–] Zaktor@sopuli.xyz 11 points 1 day ago (2 children)

She was calling it a genocide and for Congress to block arms sales 7 months ago. And called out Netanyahu In February on the senate floor.

[–] K1nsey6@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 hour ago

Blocking F-15 aircraft is not the same thing as blocking arms sales.

[–] nondescripthandle@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 17 hours ago* (last edited 17 hours ago)

Yeah but she gave Biden a free pass until today. She was one of the many who fell in line behind Biden, terrified that any critisicm no matter how deserved would help Trump. Finally critisizing someone in here sphere of influence for a change.

[–] dRLY@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 day ago

Which if she really cared about anything. She should actually know for decades that compromising to the right only helps the right (and plays well for the hard-line centrists that love speeches and photo ops but don't want to do real work). She hasn't realized anything, and is just prepping for pretending to have "always fought for (insert major cause)."

To be fair; Fuck all these assholes, Biden is slipping in and out of this mortal coil. Why the fuck is he in charge of anything?

[–] whithom 2 points 1 day ago

Oh Warren, doing whatever she can to stay relevant
