It would only make them look stupid if they did that, and increase the risk of being voted out in the next election. Because of the filibuster, legislation generally needs 60 votes in the Senate before it goes to the president. Democrats have 51 seats, with two frequent defectors. Imagine if Biden’s record going into 2024 is that he vetoed every single piece of legislation.

As far as war and military spending goes, I agree that the party could do better.

“they” in this poem is referring to anti-semites, specifically Nazis. Germany is doing the right thing by censoring and excluding anti-semites from society, to ensure that what this poem describes will never happen again.
glacier@lemmy.blahaj.zoneto Politics@beehaw.org•The Israeli public has embraced the Smotrich doctrine3·2 years agoThere hasn’t been an election in Gaza since 2007, 16 years ago. Maybe they could have at least tried to have some sort of democratic process in that time? Palestine needs to appeal to the international community for support in negotiating with Israel. I agree Israel has not handled the situation humanley and has not done their best to negotiate peace either. However, Gaza is definitely not going to get anywhere under their current leadership, and this war had no chance of success for them, and their situation does not justify attacking or kidnapping civilians.
glacier@lemmy.blahaj.zoneto Politics@beehaw.org•The Israeli public has embraced the Smotrich doctrine4·2 years agoWhat would you do in such a situation
Probably not kidnap and kill civilians from the other side, and not use civilians on my own side of the line as human shields when the other side retaliates, and not murder civilians on my own side of the line to prevent them from escaping, all of which would end up making the whole situation for the people on my own side so much more miserable and violent.
The options are probably to have free and fair elections while conducting peace negotiations with the support of the international community. All of which have been thrown out of the window now in favor of another violent war that will certainly be lost.
glacier@lemmy.blahaj.zoneto Politics@beehaw.org•The Israeli public has embraced the Smotrich doctrine7·2 years agoThe oppressions of Palestinians is horrible and it is Israel’s responsibility to rectify that. However, it does not give justification for Hamas to attack civilians. Hamas must have known what would happen but they went forward with the attack anyways.

Antisemitism has been different from other forms of racism because it is hatred that is often based on conspiracy theories about Jews. Discrimination against Arabs would usually fall under islamophobia (even though not all Arabs are Muslim), or other words like anti-arabism or anti-arab sentiment.
