I had never really thought much about where people draw their lines, but at this point the democratic party really has to be past the point of redemption with almost the entire populace. Even if I imagine a fictional world where they abruptly decide to start doing something objectively good, I still can't imagine a significant fraction of their base reacting to that in any way other than "damn you assholes had that option the whole time?".

What's he going to do? send more sternly worded letter to the white house and go back to his real position at Knesset?

America we are at the edge of a precipice.

Donald Trump is about to get a very expensive gift that will behold him to the Qatari government and as the Senate minority leader, I will not let that happen.

America should never be at the beck and call of a foreign power or have our policy dictated by non-citizens, politicians receiving bribes from special interest groups with goals at odds to our great nation is not what we're about and as long as I hold office it will not be allowed to happen.

So please, if everyone receiving this email could send even $20 I will have the strength to fight for you, the voters. You see money literally fuels me, I have to put it into a coffee grinder and add it to my morning smoothies as I talk with my imaginary friends, Joe and Eileen about what the average citizen thinks and cares about.

Doesn’t mention Israel enough, B-.

Was kinda going for him excluding Israel in an email talking about foreign governments influencing policy either because he didn't want to put the idea into people's heads or doesn't consider them a foreign government.

America 2nd, vassal state of Israel after all.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 week ago

Yeah I just can’t imagine him not directly shilling for Israel while asking for money. At least a small paid for by AIPAC.

I was going to rubberstamp them anyway because I'm a spineless worm but instead I'm pausing it to send you a harsh letter that I can fundraise off of the-democrat
