    I legitimately don’t know if it being such a giant waste of time and money was intentional.

    If the purpose was to bring aid to the Palestinians, they’d just open the border crossing.

    Rather, everything we see is consistent trying to create the appearance of doing something to help, but making sure you don’t actually affect the famine.

      That’s the most we get these days. With pretty much any topic.

      At most we get some breadcrumbs for optics right before elections, but never any real work towards real solutions.

      It’s why not paying attention and just voting “blue no matter who” should never be a plan except for one election in a blue moon where something crazy just happened.

      This is Trump’s 3rd election now, if the DNC can’t find a good candidate that can beat Trump and give Dem voters what we want, then we need new people running the DNC.

      If the DNC won’t change, we need a whole ass new party.

      Going along with this bullshit isn’t helping anyone.

      The absence of evil isn’t good. It’s just the absence of evil.

      We need politicians actually willing to do good things. Hell, it’s not even “absence of evil” the good guys are funding genocides these days.

      It’s just “slightly less evil”.
