"Our democracy" has been dead for a century. You guys are like rats running around a maze with your moronic "lesser of two evils" between two parties all controlled by the same interests.

Literally 2 minutes after you posted, they did.

Not voting or voting for a third party is not a vote for Republicans, it's not voting or voting for a third party.

You should be ashamed to vote for any of the major two parties giving their full backing to an ongoing genocide. The myth of Democrats and Republicans as meaningfully separate parties is dead.

(edit) And to be absolutely clear what I mean here. Their economic policy, the towering administrative state, the military funding, the Federal Reserve, the bailout policy, the surveillance state, the DHS, TSA, ATF, CIA, FBI, all the international imperial meddling, empire building, regime change & overthrowing democratic leaders shit, it's all the same goddamn thing between both parties. They literally only bicker about small fry social issues and hope the gullible people in the public who haven't studied anything won't notice the bipartisan consensus on everything else. It's honestly embarrassing how much people sit around and defend Democrats, you have no idea what 95% of what they actually uphold even is. We were all screaming 2000-2008 about Bush cementing a police state into power, and then Obama came along and literally normalized the entire thing, and now it's like that's all forgotten history.

I see unequivocal fascism from both parties. I reject the idiotic "lesser of two evils" thinking.

That is the risk with taxes. You can't stop paying them, so politicians, in some circumstances, are able to use them for things you don't want.

IDK what the fuck you guys have been watching for the last two months. I've been watching a genocide unfold with unaninmous bipartisan support. If you can see that and don't think both parties are beyond redemption, you're part of the problem.

I'm assuming we're talking about the actual parties/politicians here, not the people.

Yes, the Wikipedia article you're quoting goes on to state:

On 5 June 1967, as the UNEF was in the process of leaving the zone, Israel launched a series of preemptive airstrikes against Egyptian airfields and other facilities, launching its war effort.[24] Egyptian forces were caught by surprise, and nearly all of Egypt's military aerial assets were destroyed, giving Israel air supremacy.

You can shut up now tbph. Not responding further.

What's the specific claim you're making? Israel did in fact start that war, with a "preemptive" air raid meant to cripple Egypt's air force. And the political history of the region doesn't abrogate the right of its long-established inhabitants to the land - this is an Israeli propaganda talking point.

They did, that's why it's illegal now.

It’s not unlawful to take land during a war. It’s just shitty, in most instances.

It is illegal to take land during a war. Wiki:

Hamas is running a government too, so I guess they're not either. Problem solved everyone, Israel can go home now.
