House Republicans Introduce Bill to Expel Palestinians From the Country
Republicans have a racist new idea amid the war on Gaza.

Wild one but hear me out, we deport all the Republicans to Israel.
We can do that? lets do it!
Idaho is closer. And close the borders.
They'd still get to vote there, though.
Deport the leftists to Venezuea/Russia and I think people will agree
Can we start the deportations with this one?
Why? Because left == communism? Yo the communists balk at that suggestion if you ever wander over to hexbear or lemmygrad
Since when has Russia ever been a leftist state, oh right, never. It was an authoritarian state during the USSR that called itself communist. Now it is a "democratic" authoritarian state. Sweden which is a socialist democracy is far closer to socialism than the USSR ever was, and it's a wonderful country. I had members on my team that lived there.
Gotta wedge those issues.
Gotta communicate to their base that it's really ok to stab 6 year olds dozens of times if they are of Palestinian heritage.
This is the problem with Democratic voters turning on Biden over Gaza. The Republican stance is that all Palestinians are Hamas, and they should be either killed or exiled. "Not calling for a ceasefire quickly enough" isn't a thing on the right, and it never will be.
Also, biden's biggest problems right now are that more black and Latino voters are moving to the republican side. The polling today was really worrying.
It's way too early to believe any polls. What demographic still have landlines and answer the call from unknown numbers?
White old people who watch Fox News on cable.
The only thing those voters ask from Biden is to represent them too in this conflict. He doesn't, so putting the blame on them if he loses the elections, is not fair.
Also he made it clear he doesn't care about their voices, so all he has to do is replace those votes with Jewish voters I guess? Muslims and Jews make up 1% each of the entire US population (census 2020), so it'll straighten itself out.
US Jews aren't that closely alligned to Israel; particularly if you are talking about the current Israeli leadership (which a significant portion of Israelis also aren't alligned with). Further, the preferences of US Jews is pretty corralated to their political party; where Jewish Republicans are far more pro Israel than Jewish democrats.

The above survey is old, but I don't think the story has fundamentally changed.
Across all US Jews (as of the time the survey was conducted)
40% rate Netenyahus leadership as good or excellent (25% of Democratic Jews, 80% of Republican Jews)
34% Strongly oppose the BDS (anti Israel Boycott, Divest, Sanctions) movement. (28% Democratic Jews, 54% Republican Jews)
33% Thought that Israel was making a sincere effort to peace. (20% Democratic Jews, 66% Republican Jews)
32% Thought that God gave Israel to the Jews. (22% Democratic Jews, 60% Republican Jews).
When people talk about the "Jewish" position for Israel in thr context of US politics, they are really talking about the Republican position.
Forget to change accounts, bud?
"Lesser of two evils" is sure slipping more and more towards "evil", isn't it.
Has there been an election in the last 2 days since they decided this?
maybe he should do what his voters want him to lol
Inb4 all the progressive voters who think long term enough to say "I'm not voting for Biden in 24"! 😂😂
I'll vote for Biden in '24 but why the fuck can't we have real, viable candidates anymore?
No. You can only choose between the geriatric wannabe Nazi. And the geriatric pseudo individual controlled by some aggregate of donators.
There is absolutely nobody else that could possibly be chosen.
/s
Except the wannabe Nazi part. It may be weekend at Bernie 's but at least it's not idiot Hitler.
Primaries and old people, "way too fucking expensive to run for office," and a sprinkle of "good people generally don't seek positions of power."
You meant short-term?
That is the implication of the chosen language. It was intended to mock those individuals predictable responses.
That is pretty low even for the Christian "moral" majority
"moral" majority
They are neither.
That's the point
Sounds exactly like them to me.
"There's no hate like Christian love."
Today's republican party: Always looking for new lows to sink to.
The republicans are not really governing: they are pandering. There's no way such a measure could become law with the Democratic majority in the Senate. Even if such a measure became law, the Supreme Court would have to completely redefine due process for this to remain law, however, the Supreme Court did decide in favor of internment camps for Japanese American citizens, so I supposed this can not be ruled out.
Because of the Trumps presidency a lot of laws got changed that I would not have imagined possible. You don't give the republicans enough credit for how much they can and will fuck up this country. The supreme court will have no trouble twisting the meaning of laws abd words to fit their agenda because they are not using laws in good faith.
Ryan Zinke is a close minded, selfish asshole.
I'm ashamed he represents Montana in Congress.
At this point, I say that if we're going to fund the displacement of Palestinians we had better damned well be prepared to receive them as refugees.
They're not racist at all. (¬_¬)

It's even more horrifying. America does have 2 parties, it's just they've collectively dragged the overton window so far right that the "left" party is still to the right of most countries (extreme) "right" parties.
Similar results, but require very different fixes.
Internally in the US there is a fairly large policy difference between D and R.
When it comes to foreign policy, you are correct. There is no difference between them.
On this issue yes, on other issues, no. See: Republicans wanting to cut all support to Ukraine so that Daddy Vladdy can win his war.
Don't forget that the 2016 DNC hack was accompanied by an equal hack of the RNC, it's just that the Republican info was saved as kompromat where the Democratic info was released in the short term to damage them and help Trump win the election so Putin could have his puppet in the White House.
Gotta love whataboutism
