The tide is turning in our favor. No military aid to warmongers!
Jeffries is such a bitch.
I heard an interesting theory from a YouTube video creator who made political videos (can't recall who)
But the gist was this.
Democratic reps and congressmen take turns voting against the people's wishes. So that no single one has a long track record of going against the people. Just a handful of times.
With, of course, the majority vote being orchestrated behind the doors.
This is how so many of Trump's cabinet picks had Dems voting for them but a different Dem every time.
So no single Dem could be called out for "always voting with Republicans".
I think this woman who theorized this is on to something. Wish I could remember who it was. But yeah I think she's right. It's all orchestrated.
The Dems are intentionally losing bills and budgets that the people want.
They have been, and are currently, working with the "opposition". Because most of both sides are actually all working for Israel's goals And billionaire's goals.
Certainly Not ours.
I've heard this from a lot of leftist streamers and youtube creators as "rotating villain" theory. It's basically proven, as only when a majority is gained do congress people start flaking off of what should be an obvious win. Leiberman, Sinema, Cuellar, Fetterman, Manchin, etc.
You can see for yourself who voted for what. Or you can believe an 'influencer.'
Wasn't an influencer and they had examples. It was someone who made YouTube videos about political content. Not all women making videos are "influencers".
I don't think it's far fetched to consider the corp Dems are using a playbook. They have a strategy. They don't just wing it.
Wasn't it revealed recently that booker was a guest to some Republican billionaires meeting at a hotel or something?
They are all in it together.
The Democrats

Bullshit
He didn't think it was pro-Israel enough, but wouldn't organize Dem votes against it.
Don't let neoliberals pretend to be progressive
Party members voting independently with their brain, what a quaint concept. Stalin and Mao would have never let that slide.
List of who voted which way.
Jfc the USA government can't afford CSS?
thank you
Half more to go.
Plus all of the Republicans.
(Yes, I know the fascist fucks are a lost cause and that's why they don't get mentioned, but we should still maintain the expectation anyway.)
nothing to apologize for, not mentioning republicans in these situations leads directly to .ml style dumbdumbitis
The other half better lose their next primary.
Judging from 2024, the angry voters will do ABSOULTELY NOTHING, while hoping the ship will kinda, sorta, right itself-ish.
Fixed it for you.
Also, more recent events such as Mamdani and candidates he endorsed beating "Centrist" (actually right wing to far right) establishment Dems who had the backing of the entire DNC machine would indicate that the angry voters ARE doing something.
If you still feel like you need to provide "aid" to a country with a higher QoL than yours, higher ranking healthcare and education than yours, better-equipped social services than yours, and higher GDP per capita, you are a sad, brainwashed, controlled paypiggy.
Trump is donating millions to Europeam maga aligned groups, those millions are taxpayers dollars. Not in the same orbit but completely unacceptable.
Israel has lower gdp per capita ($60k PPP) then the US ($94k).
This is just to say they're providing that better qol despite having less money.
does that GDP number include the billions we give them in aid? We give them far far far more than the 3.8 billion thats advertised. 3.8 billion directly plus another 12.5 billion in military aid just in 2024. And I imagine similar in 2025 but dont have the data. What could America have done with a spare ~17 billion? and thats not even counting the horrifyingly expensive missiles we expend to protect them, military operations in the region to benefit them, the wars we engage in at their whim that only serve their interests. When you factor in the wars we are probably a trillion dollars into supporting these genocidal chucklefucks.

COULD have done a lot, WOULD probably just squander it on wars, tax breaks for billionaires, and subsidies for the companies of billionaires.
Because we are paying for it. Yet we don't have enough for our own people?!?
It's also easy to boost the standard of living of some when you deny the rights of others.
Our politicians are bought and paid for by Israel. The US is being colonized by Israel.
random complaint
this page is fucking terrible, why the fuck cant they just make this page well? tables, shit fonts, fuck this technical team
I don't even know what page that is. I don't see it at this link and 2/3 of the others are twitter links, and that's way worse
As a JEW I'm TERRIFIED now! I CANT believe Lawmakers think it's OK to NOT send our Tax Dollars to a Foreign Country I'll NEVER Visit so they can have things I'll NEVER Have while SABOTAGING the Iran Conflict by CONTINUALLY Shooting babies in the Face! I'm TERRIFIED!
AIPAC has bribed US politicians into compliance an act that is completely illegal in Israel
Only half? Jesus.
Big improvement, unfortunately.
Fuck Israel but this groyper shit ain't it
Cue 6 op eds explaining how some Jewish person is vaguely scared because of this vote, meanwhile no op eds from the genocide victim families
that result tells us again, that Israel controls the usa. Its ok to fund genocide. your tax dollars at work.
Thinking that Israel controls America is like thinking the knife controls the serial killer because he spends money on sharpening it.
It's all performative bullshit. Gotta look like we're being listened to. We're not.
3/4 of Congress are traitors
That's approximately 50% more of them than I expected, so that's nice.
Only half.
Weak
Those are rookie numbers
