In her words, this Zionist settler is explaining that to her, the Palestinian cities or towns donāt exist. Itās her mission to bring more Jewish (Zionist) settlers to the space until itās all Israel. The Palestinians hardly exist to her. They are inconsequential.

That was a good one. Yes, people have the right to be themselves and believe whatever FAITH or BELIEF they want if theyāre into it. But the moment they try to pass the belief off as reality or fact, theyāve crossed several boundaries. Itās absurd & unstable to push faith on others as fact.

LLANA (she/they) (@llana.bsky.social) reply parent
Their strategy of running right-wing people as Democrats is the threat there. The proof of this is Democrats who vote with and for Republican policy. It happens often and is MORE destructive than Republicans winning because it destroys the Democratic Party from within. We need to be smarter.

Zionists hate Jews. Zionists donāt hate all Jews, but they DO hate Jews that arenāt Zionists. Zionism received a huge boost from Hitler for sabotaging and reporting back on anti-Nazi Jews in Germany. We seldom hear about Jews fighting back against Hitler, but they did, and Zionists fought them.

LLANA (she/they) (@llana.bsky.social) reply parent
I think we covered that they should have done it when they had the majority and could have done it. Biden also had a year of majority. You might be fine with your party doing nothing when they have the power to anything, instead pandering to neocons. Iām not. We may have to just agree to disagree.
LLANA (she/they) (@llana.bsky.social) reply parent
Yeah ok. Trying without complete majority was such a better idea. š So instead of actual healthcare all we got was an insurance mandate that made trillions for billionaires. Awesome.
LLANA (she/they) (@llana.bsky.social) reply parent
Thatās not how that works. Different candidates means a different primary. Governance isnāt so casual that anyone can just assume on behalf of tens of millions of voters. Some people who wouldnāt run against Biden would run against Harris. You canāt decide that for candidates or voters.

It really made a difference. I wish it was part of a healthcare and insurance package rather than ONLY an employer insurance package. The richest and wasteful nation in the world CAN afford basic healthcare for its people. Anyone working for citizens would agree. Billionaires, not so much.

Finally a good argument. The only real good that came of Affordable Care was the inability of insurance to discriminate on prior conditions. It was night and day. My mom had cancer at the time, and Iāve also experienced that benefit personally. Insurance charged everyone more to compensate.
