A caucus is a group of representatives, i.e. the other Democratic senators. I think you're thinking of constituents.

Pure fucking market manipulation.

At this point I kind of hope China goes nuclear and implements a complete import and export ban with the United States. China has the social infrastructure inplace and debt head room to borrow their way out of any kind of financial crisis. The United States does not.

If you count humans as animals then cocaine and clothing from companies like Temu and Shein aren't vegan.

Cocaine manufacturing and distribution is full of human exploitation and suffering. Using it should go against the vegan ethos of avoiding consumption of things that are the product of exploitation. Similar to honey, milk, or eggs.

Similarly, Shien and Temu make nearly all of their products using slave labor in terrible working conditions using dangerous chemicals without any precautions.

We get it, that wasn't enough for people like you so you help elect Trump and now you've got the genocide you really wanted.

I didn't have "Trump gives Putin the silent treatment" on my bingo card.

Lol, the dude said he's hopeful that the Trump administration would do more work to break up big tech monopolies based on the record of one of his appointees. Now you reactionary lemmings are jerking each other off over who can call Proton a Nazi organization the fastest.

You don't understand how the filibuster works. Please educate yourself rather than spreading red maga misinformation to further your clear pro-Trump agenda.

Oh look a bunch of people from hexbear astroturfing. We get it, you folks are all boned up about Trump and are stoked for this genocide. No need to pretend like your aggressive campaigning for Trump wasn't hugely successful.

The question isn't "what would Harris have done differently", we have no idea what she would have done here, but we do know that she publicly advocated for restraint and a two state solution. Trump is publicly advocating for this final solution.

The question you should be asking is "All things being equal on this issue, which candidate is better on the other important issues"? You asked yourselves this and decided that Trump was better on LGBTQ rights, minority rights, freedom of press and speech, labor rights, health care, the economy, the environment, and everything else.

Congratulations tankies, you got your widespread unrestrained genocide.
