I think nobody can really predict who will win until January. Watching polls may help people feel better but this is much more than national polls

Space will be inevitably be dominated by corporations that are multinational. This is early days with a mix of government and private companies that are not so global.

It’s just how economics work. I think there will be a handful of companies later

Yes, Reagan once stopped Israel cold in a few minutes, with most of the time waiting to find people to talk.

Israel is completely dependent on the USA in several important ways. An American president can ride roughshod over military plans using several threats and actions, these are not illegal under USA law.

And, more subtlety, if the direct power play is considered unwarranted, the president can halt arms deliveries if the target nation is doing war crimes.

But political will at this time is a misnomer, this is up to only on one man, Biden.

Political will in congress will be muted no matter what the population feels. And this has nothing to do with individual Zionist leanings, although some are sincere in their support. But Israel has blackmailed many of our esteemed senators and congressmen due to their own mistakes. We, as a nation, really do not elect officials pure as the driven snow.

This is something remarked on for decades, since the 1950s. It’s a fact their spy service has more representatives per square foot of capital area than all other countries; although for some reason it’s slipped out of fashion to discuss it in the last few years

That would be good

I live near the bottom, and I see a lot of anti Palestinian stuff, mostly pretending the Palestinians do not exist, with a random anti-Semitic accusation thrown it.

And it’s not just the democrats, I see this in many western nations. It’s a stain on many parties who speak many languages.

If the killings stopped today , this would be only a black mark against those involved. Something to get angry about by many. Accusing fingers could be pointed. Perhaps even reevaluation by some.

But we are only a quarter through the genocide. This will last months or years more. Many will be killed in the future. So this is an active crime scene. Those that will have fingers pointed at later are still doing harm now, and will do harm in the future.

Not just the high level politicians, but in all levels of each country. There is collective guilt , and that is not ended either

They tried, that’s what counts. The vast majority of people who can do this only dream, even me.

And it’s not a cost barrier ( especially if your instances scale up) so much as low morale

Every browser I use causes me to feel some negative reaction

At this point I just want the pharmacies having my meds for the next 4 years. The economy depends on millions of interactions on a global scale and disruptions mess that up.

I have a very, very low bar

I think nothing much will happen if she wins.

And that is a victory, a functioning government *, that’s better than a tear down of government , etc

But there is so much damage. A center right president cannot fix it, and there will be worse to come over the months and years.

250,000 now at least: many bodies under thousands of buildings. Disease and famine claims lives each day.

The lower number is only wounds and injuries
