then make them a pariah
Why? I’m all for cutting direct aid to them, but why should we care enough to sanction them, force Americans not to do business with them, etc? One can disagree with Israel’s actions, but in the arena of anarchy that is international relations, is their occupation and likely eventual annexation of Gaza and the West Bank really beyond the pale? Especially after October 7?

They label themselves “Democratic Socialists of America” 5 DSA members won house seats yesterday.

they are annexing by forced depopulation and committing crimes. It used to be that we cared about shite like that especially when they are using our resources to do it
Anyway let’s move on. It’s clear the people who voted yesterday want an end to this entanglement. One way or another

But I’m saying that “making them a pariah” state increases entanglement, as counterintuitive as that might seem. If you lived in San Diego, how many years would you be willing to have rockets lobbed at you from Tijuana before you would expect the federal government to step in? Tucson? Las Cruces?
And then when it did, Europe recalls its embassy and places a full embargo on the United States.
Would that be Europe increasing or decreasing “entanglement” with us? Would that be a reasonable action for them to take and to impose on its citizens?
Again, cut aid, stop selling them weapons, all fine. But beyond that, it would be a no from me.

My brother, if you sincerely think that Republicans would have killed Obamacare and balanced the budget if only they had two more Republicans in the Senate instead of "merely" the 53 they had, we can simply agree to disagree
They clearly would have. McCain is the only reason Obamacare wasn't repealed. Now we have an electorate who stupidly believes it wants Obamacare, so it certainly isn't going to get repealed now. Might as well be social security at this point.
Budgets are a little more complicated because they need 60 votes in the Senate, but yes with 55 GOP members there would have been a much greater chance.

it'll be good for the stock market. Trump was too inconsistent.
If they ever outlaw congress being able to buy and sell stocks that would cause a blip.
Republicans and Democrats eat from the same plate.

It's legit hilarious how people think that dems in power will cause a market panic despite the literal fact that the market goes up every fricking time they win.

Turns out Democrats threatening to destroy every company thats done business with the federal govt the last two years (and thats a lot of them) isn't great for the markets.
