Two things are required before you can change the rules of the game. You need to have a super majority and that super majority has to want to change the rules. AIPAC captured candidates are not likely to change the rules they rely on to stay funded and in power.

At this point Israel out spends the people on candidates, using US taxpayer money.

As far as the current administration and "fundraising" is concerned. They aren't fundraising, they are grifting.

You can't overhaul anything without a supermajority. So throwing sand in the gears is worth the effort.

The biggest problem with Israel is that they are an apartheid state which condones violence against all Palestinians, even going as far as legalizing execution by hanging of Palestinians only.

I believed Israeli propaganda my whole life and have only recently opened my eyes to their crimes against humanity. I feel like such a fool, because I actually paid pretty close attention to politics and news my entire adult life.

AIPAC isn't enjoying the spotlight they're in now and are scrambling to hide their influence. People will need to pay a lot closer attention to how candidates are funded as Israel shifts to opaque entities to fund candidates with.

I wonder how much of our aid to Israel ends up being spent on funding AIPAC.

Except impeachment lets the Republicans play the victim card in '28.

They're going to do that anyway. Don't let their bullshit stop us from doing what's right. Otherwise we're just allowing him to continue his criminal activity with no pushback. And that depresses voter turnout.

Not only that but defending himself from impeachment takes resources away from all the other awful shit Trump is doing.

We need more candidates like Kat Abughazaleh

One of the problems with the Democratic Party is that the number one quality for choosing leadership is how well they fundraise. Obviously this makes leadership beholden to those with the biggest pockets, like AIPAC.

We need to primary every Democrat incumbent who isn't a progressive in action as well as rhetoric.

Thanks for this. I'm definitely dropping ollama now. No wonder GGUF models always gave me issues.

I might even dump open webui for llama.cpp's webui

They really are fucking idiots.

And this is the kindest interpretation of their continued support for him.

[–] Freeposity@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

He really should have said, "I thought it was me as a wizard"

But he's too stupid to come up with good excuses and he's never had to do it because he's led a consequence free life for all his lies and crimes.
