Uhhh fuck this. Involuntary confinement is literal torture and we should talk about and we should end this. JFC we as democrats truly have no idea what the fuck we are doing.
David (@itsdaviddddddd.bsky.social)
The SAME democrats who got us into this mess aren’t going to be the democrats who get us out of it. We need new leadership in the senate, in the house, and in the governor mansions

Congressman Jeffries can talk all the shit he wants about Mamdani. BUT, he has forfeited the “vote blue no matter who” argument forever. Also this is a bad look for the second highest Democrat in Congress.

@bennet.senate.gov you’re a fucking coward Bennet and you don’t deserve to be Governor of Colorado. Vote Weiser

How did Bibi make it worse? By committing war crimes? And what weapons did he use to commit those war crimes? Where did he get the weapons to commit the war crimes?
David (@itsdaviddddddd.bsky.social) reply parent
How is Biden not a primary player as the arms dealer? Lol
David (@itsdaviddddddd.bsky.social) reply parent
I’m blaming Biden, as I’ve said numerous times, for arming and enabling genocide. The bombs Israel is using to kill 20,000 kids, were given to them by who? Santa Claus? Big foot? No. It was Biden.
David (@itsdaviddddddd.bsky.social) reply parent
20,000 kids, dead. But man thank goodness Biden did absolutely nothing “stop the war from being worse.” He made it worse.
David (@itsdaviddddddd.bsky.social) reply parent
It’s not a cop out. Biden did that. Biden had evidence that Israel was committing war crimes, and he ignored that and continued to arm a nation that was breaking the law. Biden did that.
David (@itsdaviddddddd.bsky.social) reply parent
It’s stupid because it’s untrue. Biden continued to arm a nation that is actively committing war crimes
David (@itsdaviddddddd.bsky.social) reply parent
You said Biden was trying to stop the war. I’d argue he absolutely was not
David (@itsdaviddddddd.bsky.social) reply parent
You’re right. We are responsible for our own actions. Biden armed a nation that is committing war crimes. That’s an action he took and needs to be held responsible for.
David (@itsdaviddddddd.bsky.social) reply parent
Oh did Biden stop giving Israel bombs?
David (@itsdaviddddddd.bsky.social) reply parent
But they were killed by the IDF… the IDF is bombing areas they know kids are at.
David (@itsdaviddddddd.bsky.social) reply parent
You don’t get to say he was trying to stop the war when you are the one giving Israel bombs. They are mutually exclusive
David (@itsdaviddddddd.bsky.social) reply parent
They should be punished and not given more bombs. Glad we agree we should stop arming an army that commits war crimes. Biden didn’t do that.
David (@itsdaviddddddd.bsky.social) reply parent
The AMERICAN President ARMED the Israeli Prime Minister. You’re responsible when you keep enabling and arming the person committing war crimes. It’s AMERICAN bombs being used
David (@itsdaviddddddd.bsky.social) reply parent
Those 20,000 kids that the IDF has killed, didn’t start this war. These kids weren’t Hamas. They were completely innocent
David (@itsdaviddddddd.bsky.social) reply parent
So they shouldn’t be given more guns and bombs?
David (@itsdaviddddddd.bsky.social) reply parent
The ceasefire that Israel broke? Come on let’s be real. How can Biden’s actions towards Gaza be called anything other than a failure?
David (@itsdaviddddddd.bsky.social) reply parent
You can do both. Biden is not absolved. Not when he’s making the final decision to send the bombs.
David (@itsdaviddddddd.bsky.social) reply parent
And Biden failed to secure a ceasefire. Netanyahu gave him the middle finger. Not to mention there’s lots of documented evidence that Netanyahu is the one messing up the deals…
David (@itsdaviddddddd.bsky.social) reply parent
Killing 20,000 kids isn’t self defense.
David (@itsdaviddddddd.bsky.social) reply parent
But they aren’t being punished… and the war crimes aren’t stopping
David (@itsdaviddddddd.bsky.social) reply parent
I agree the primary culprit is Netanyahu, but Biden has armed him. Biden is an enabler
David (@itsdaviddddddd.bsky.social) reply parent
If my friend is committing war crimes, I’m not going to continue supplying them guns and ammo. Arming a war criminal is wrong. Hence why I support a weapons embargo
David (@itsdaviddddddd.bsky.social) reply parent
My point is that there are numerous other strategies we could employ to get the hostages out that ends the war that doesn’t result in 20,000 kids dead. Israel has committed war crimes and I’d like us to stop giving them the bombs to do that.
David (@itsdaviddddddd.bsky.social) reply parent
You said they’re committing war crimes, but you want to keep arming them. You said they’re holding up aid, but still are our ally and deserve our unconditional support. This is exactly the behavior of Joe Biden, all talk, no action. He continued to enable Netanyahu despite war crimes.
David (@itsdaviddddddd.bsky.social) reply parent
The IDF has sniped kids, in the head. That’s a choice the IDF has made
David (@itsdaviddddddd.bsky.social) reply parent
Let’s use another metaphor: there’s a bank in your country, it’s being robbed and the robbers are held up in the bank with hostages and they won’t leave. Do you blow up the entire bank? No of course not. Same thing here. You don’t get hostages out by indiscriminately bombing the entire hospital
David (@itsdaviddddddd.bsky.social) reply parent
Why am I talking about the fact that Israel has killed 20,000 innocent kids…? Because we are arming the military that is killing those kids. We aren’t arming Hamas. If we were, I’d be just as vocally opposed.
David (@itsdaviddddddd.bsky.social) reply parent
But they are hindering aid… like that’s actively happening
David (@itsdaviddddddd.bsky.social) reply parent
But Israel isn’t. In response to 10/7, Israel has killed 20,000 kids.
David (@itsdaviddddddd.bsky.social) reply parent
Israel is holding up the aid…
David (@itsdaviddddddd.bsky.social) reply parent
They’re committing war crimes tho… and we could impose a weapons embargo until new elections and ensure 20,000 more kids don’t die. If my friend is murdering kids, I’m not going to keep giving him bullets.
David (@itsdaviddddddd.bsky.social) reply parent
I’ll try to be more clear. Yes, we should attack and go after the perpetrators of 9/11. And when we attack them, we should follow the law and not commit war crimes. I’m confused on why we can’t do both.
David (@itsdaviddddddd.bsky.social) reply parent
There is still zero evidence that Iran has had a nuke
David (@itsdaviddddddd.bsky.social) reply parent
You want to continue arming the very same person committing war crimes.
David (@itsdaviddddddd.bsky.social) reply parent
No you don’t like my answer. You can respond without committing war crimes.
David (@itsdaviddddddd.bsky.social) reply parent
Responding to a terrorist attack, which 10/7 absolutely was, and committing war crimes are two different things.
David (@itsdaviddddddd.bsky.social) reply parent
So you agree that Israel is committing war crimes but yet still support giving them arms? So they can commit war crimes? Not me. I support a complete weapons embargo until a new election is held for a new PM. Netanyahu is a war criminal and needs to be in jail.
David (@itsdaviddddddd.bsky.social) reply parent
(Leaving work, got things to do. But I genuinely do actually want to talk more if you’re in. I’ll respond later.)
David (@itsdaviddddddd.bsky.social) reply parent
Wait, so because the US has committed war crimes, which we absolutely have, that means we just continue to arm a country committing war crimes? And Biden’s critique mean nothing because he continued to supply arms
David (@itsdaviddddddd.bsky.social) reply parent
I was wrong on the US citizenship act, I acknowledge I was wrong. I still find Biden weak on immigration and preferred to protect a parliamentarian over progress. This also happened on the fight for a higher wage. Biden’s failure to get something passed, hurt him.
David (@itsdaviddddddd.bsky.social) reply parent
Right, he supported Netanyahu, who is continuing to commit war crimes. If we cannot critique an ally when they commit war crimes, then they aren’t an ally. Despite thousands of kids being killed by the IDF, Biden changed nothing. And it hurt Harris’s campaign. The data shows this
David (@itsdaviddddddd.bsky.social) reply parent
Biden did whatever Bibi told him. Despite numerous concerns about civilian deaths, Biden continued to supply arms. Also Biden didn’t put fourth any immigration legislation until 24, an election year.
David (@itsdaviddddddd.bsky.social) reply parent
They absolutely were moronic. Netanyahu made Biden look weak. And he didn’t care about immigration until it became a political liability. His lack of action on immigration then hurt Harris. Biden hurt Harris’s chance substantially and I have yet to see him take any accountability
David (@itsdaviddddddd.bsky.social) reply parent
No I’m thinking about 2024. Biden had a bad debate. And then a bad press conference. And bad responses to real issues. To say that immigration and Palestine didn’t play a role in this election is to ignore all data pointing otherwise. Biden was on track to lose Minnesota, Virginia and maybe even CO
David (@itsdaviddddddd.bsky.social) reply parent
I can respect that. I’ve seen clips but am willing to really dive in. I’m just worried we are learning the wrong lessons from 24.
David (@itsdaviddddddd.bsky.social) reply parent
Joe Biden cost us this race. Had he dropped out significantly earlier we could have a robust primary. Not to mention there’s substantial data showing his stance on Gaza hurt him deeply. I’m so tired of this delusional belief that Biden would have won had he faced Trump again.
David (@itsdaviddddddd.bsky.social) reply parent
Completely disagree. Trump is very beatable, Biden made too many mistakes though. He only developed a plan for immigration when it was electorally a liability. His stance on Palestine was moronic and Netanyahu made him look like a fool. And who “betrayed?”
David (@itsdaviddddddd.bsky.social)
We as democrats won’t win again until we acknowledge why we lost. This autopsy of 24 needs to be honest. And based on Hunter’s recent appearance and Jaime Harrison’s tweets/podcasts, that isn’t happening. Biden’s inner circle still believe he would have won. Just straight up delusion
David (@itsdaviddddddd.bsky.social) reply parent
He absolutely spun it. He still thinks Biden could have won and that’s just not true. Hunter still refuses to admit that he hurt Biden’s campaign. Biden never should have ran for reelection and by his delaying of a decision, he hurt Harris’s campaign a great deal.
David (@itsdaviddddddd.bsky.social) reply parent
We could have had a robust primary to hammer out positions. Biden took that from her.
David (@itsdaviddddddd.bsky.social) reply parent
It’s a fact he had no plan for Gaza lol.
David (@itsdaviddddddd.bsky.social) reply parent
I’m so god damn sick and tired of Biden not being held accountable for the harm he caused towards Harris. Harris did exceptionally well for the time given to her. But man, Biden really fucked us
David (@itsdaviddddddd.bsky.social) reply parent
Except Harris did, and she did very well. Had Biden dropped out way earlier, she probably could have debated him 2 or 3 times. Biden hurt Harris and I’m tired of letting him off the hook for what he did to her
David (@itsdaviddddddd.bsky.social) reply parent
Had Biden dropped out, Harris would have 2 or 3 debates against Trump. Biden hurt Harris
David (@itsdaviddddddd.bsky.social) reply parent
He really didn’t though. He could have ran way harder on infrastructure or put forth an actual plan on Gaza. He did neither. Biden would have lost even worse than Harris. Time to stop pretending otherwise
David (@itsdaviddddddd.bsky.social) reply parent
Biden cost Harris the election. His moronic policies on Gaza, his nonexistent policies on immigration, and his refusal to step aside way earlier. Hunter also was an anchor on the campaign and hurt Biden. But this would require actual accountability and neither people in this episode have that.

David (@itsdaviddddddd.bsky.social) reply parent
Yall this is a must read. It’s infuriating. Biden is not getting nearly enough heat for the harm he caused Harris. Biden is a key reason why Harris lost and I don’t just mean when he dropped out. His team gave her losing tasks during her vice presidency and never took her seriously.
