None of this would have happened if you people voted in Kanye. Dude hated both Net AND Yoohoo. Literally twice as nice.
Whenever you need a concise moral judgment 2 years after it would be helpful, warrenn is there.
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.
“I think it is clear that Congress has a responsibility to act. We have legal tools here. And as I said, we cannot approve the sale of arms to a country that is in violation of our own laws on this."
F15s were just the next thing to be sent.
And yet, Warren voted “yes” to sending $15b worth of military aid to Israel only weeks later..
One could argue that, because there was other aid to Ukraine tied into the bill, Warren didn’t want to risk the passage of the bill. I would say that a supposedly principled senator like Warren should have realized the gravity of the situation and follow her brave words with brave action. Other senators like Sanders and Merkley voted No on this bill for exactly that reason. In fact, Sanders tried to introduce an amendment that removed Isreal’s funding from the bill but received no support from people like Warren..
One could argue that Gaza aid was tied into the bill as well. However, Israel has been known to be blocking aid into the region, even before this vote took place. If Warren truly cared about the refugees/people of Gaza, she would have supported Sanders’ second amendment to the bill to restore funding to the UNRWA, which provides most of the food, water and shelter to Palestinians. But she didn’t.
I couldn’t find any other mention of her supporting an arms embargo after this vote either (unless I’m missing it, which is entirely possible given how difficult it is to find this shit). I remain unconvinced of Warren’s resolve on this matter.
Good thing she held off until after the electionsssssss to stand for her beliefsssssss.

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
Lmao
Hasan called it, Democrats about to become the most ardent critics of genocide
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.
Lol its fucking working. These stupid fucks could have avoided all this by arriving at this conclusion a year ago. Nearsighted sighted ghouls.
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.
She is doing this only because it doesn’t matter, Biden is leaving and he can do whatever he want for two more months.
I think she’s finally realized that almost all the compromise has been one-way.
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.
Blocking F-15 aircraft is not the same thing as blocking arms sales.
Are fighter jets not “arms”? They were just the next arms transfer being talked about at the time.
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.
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).”
Elizabeth, you might want to save your energy until 2025
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?

Oh Warren, doing whatever she can to stay relevant
