Chicago Police and the FBI are investigating if saboteurs placed bugs in a breakfast buffet prepared for delegates at the Democratic National Convention on Wednesday.
“Multiple unknown female offenders are alleged to have entered a building…and began placing unknown objects onto tables containing food,” the convention’s information center said in a statement. “The offenders are believed to have then left the area. One victim was treated and released on-scene. Along with CPD, FBI-Chicago is assisting in the investigation.”
Do I think the DNC are scum who silence Palestinians and support Israel like nearly everyone else in US politics does?
Yes.
Huh, I suppose if you do support Palestine, you can’t be a DNC delegate?
Of course not, you simply shouldn’t be a DNC delegate if you support Palestine. Because they’ll point at these delegates and use them as props to say “see, we’re listening to Palestinians” while not changing course.
These are not ordinary voters, these are sometimes local politicians but competing to run the same machine as their more successful national counterparts. These individuals have some degree of power and influence, and they’re choosing to use it for the American Empire.
Zero pity for these turbo-losers getting bugs in their food. Admittedly, making “putting bugs in food” a popular protest tactic doesn’t set a great precedent considering the food safety implications for everyone else, but food safety concerns are NOTHING compared to what Palestinians are suffering at the delegates’ party’s hands.
You are making this the ONLY issue in the world. I fucking hate the israeli government for what they are doing. Fuck israel. But you are willing to let everyone around you burn for this. Willing to let lgbt, people of color, students, poor people and the working class be oppressed and possibly murdered. Because trump WILL make sure of that.
Sounds like what’s happening right fucking now under a Democrat presidency!
How many times do you have to try to kick Lucy’s football before you realize that she’s punking you?!?
Voting for President merely ratifies decisions already made by capital. I’m not voting for your candidate, and I refuse to be guilted for decisions already made by capital.
Trump winning would be an indicator of the trajectory you have no control over as far as the ballot box is concerned.
No I am not. I want people to organize themselves against the system, not within it. The system itself is the problem. Having “”“good people”“” is insufficient to get even mediocre change. See self-described socialist AOC speedrunning ghoulification.
your rhetoric only serves to further de legitimize your position. you’re basically a caricature of a useless tankie.
Ah yes, expressing schadenfreude against the Dems as a possibly overzealous condemnation of a genocide == sending in the tanks against an uprising
keep playin like it’s the democrats fault. it’s nice when morons self-identify
The genocide is happening now, under Biden, who could end this in a day.
I have more respect for the people with their ‘single issue voter’ defense of genocide. They at least aren’t living in a fantasy land that Trump is responsible for Biden’s actions.
You apparently don’t understand the word intersectional.
You also need to reread this:
Genocide is something that is binary, and you are either against it or a fascist. There is no middle ground with genocide.
The DNC has already started to indicate they will throw trans people under the bus next.
So what you’re saying is that we should let trump win and let israel completely wipe gaza and the west bank off the map? We don’t vote for harris because we love her or something. We vote to keep fascists from winning and destroying everything.
What is it with you people? Im pro-palestine but do you want lgbt people murdered, people of color even more oppressed, set back society 80 years, possibly never get to vote again because trump WILL make sure of that. And dont forget destroying educations, food health and safety and other laws and institutions that makes society better and safer?
I get that democrats are not doing nearly enough to stop israel. But trump will do so so so much worse. And not only the palestinian people, but also america itself.
That’s a lot of words to say you tolerate genocide abroad to avoid it at home.
Maybe all those words are saying something about naive single-issue voters who can’t comprehend the world is not perfect and it’s not that simple.
Genocide is non-negotiable. Shame some people don’t agree with that sentiment.
Theres plenty of room to argue that
No one can argue the horror being inflicted on Palestinian civilians, nor the scale of that horror, but it’s not as black and white as you make it seem by throwing around loaded terms like “genocide”, nor is US directly involved, nor can we necessarily intervene in another country’s affairs
Any country that intentionally restricts access to food, medicine, and portable water to a population it finds inconvenient is a government intentionally committing genocide.
