Trump got 51% of the vote in Iowa. What they don't tell you is.......

@BohemianBoo Now think what that means when Trump runs as the Presidential nominee. A lot of Republican no shows😷

@whowasthatmaskedman I hope so, but I'm worried that a lot of young people who voted for Biden last time won't vote for him again because of how he's backing Israel's genocide.

@BohemianBoo There was something special about the turnout for 2020. Now I dont claim to be the political person, and I am an outsider. But I like to think Biden got there on an anti Trump wave, rat5her than a pro Biden wave. I can only hope that holds.. Lets face it, Trump is still every bit the villain he always was..😷

@BohemianBoo
Explain to me how Biden is backing "Israel's genocide"?

@SandWitch Biden is unconditionally funding Israel while they're doing a genocide.

@BohemianBoo Please try to remember that arms and military hardware is one of very few things America can still export profitably to the world. Business is business..😷

@whowasthatmaskedman So why don't we cut off Israel and start exporting to a country that, ya know, isn't doing a genocide?
Not only that, but we sanctioned Russia into oblivion when they invaded Ukraine. What Israel is doing now is even worse. We should be sanctioning them too.

@BohemianBoo Simple..Israel are a good customer and can be trusted with modern stuff that needs battle testing in the field. AND more importantly, Israel are pencilled in the take out Iran if anything big starts, so the US can say "It wasnt us" and keep the Saudi oil flowing..😷

@whowasthatmaskedman That reasoning works on Boomers. But us younger voters don't think it justifies funding a genocide.

@BohemianBoo Totally get that.. Who runs American government and business again???😷

@whowasthatmaskedman Jewish Supremacist donors, unfortunately.

@BohemianBoo And mostly OLD white men...Kept in office by Lobbyists from the military suppliers..😷

@whowasthatmaskedman Most of those people are just pencil-pushers who will do whatever their donors want.
Democrats are better, since they will sometimes make policies to help the working-class, but really, we need to get money out of politics.

@BohemianBoo I couldnt agree more.. As long as Money keeps people in power it will corrupt..Any suggestions how to get it out??😷

@whowasthatmaskedman Well there are countries that have laws limiting the amount of money a candidate can take from donors. I think that's a good start.
One of the reasons I want Socialism is because then we wouldn't have cartoonishly rich people. We'd still have rich people, but not these multibillionaires who buy and sell politicians like nothing.

@BohemianBoo I agree with every word you are saying. But convincing those in power to give up that power is often a problem involving desperate measures. Like revolution. 😷

@whowasthatmaskedman That's why we need to focus on local change. It's all so much easier said than done, but it has been done.

@BohemianBoo We agree again. But I know it will be slow. Too slow. And probably come as the result of some less than favourable change..😷
