The Dems should be blocking all votes like the GOP did under Obama. Fuck them.
Unfortunately that’s not their job. They are bribed to ensure NDAA always goes through. Voter sentiment on yet another war for oil be damned.
Until we stop the legalized bribery this will not change.
Evidently voter sentiment isn’t strong enough to vote for someone else!
Ah yes, the candidate fron tge other party who voted yes.

Yes, the USA has been bombing civilian ships off the coast of Venezuela and just the other day captured an oil tanker ship. It’s actually among the reasons stated for Pete Hegseth’s upcoming Impeachment vote.
This is far from an appearance issue. 18 Republicans also opposed the budget. If every Democrat had joined the 18 Republicans in saying no, this budget would not have been approved. Every politician – Democrat or not – who approved this budget needs to be voted out, no questions (if we get the chance). Primary the Democrats who voted “Yea”.
“There’s always money for bombs” but $900 Billion is absurd; and Democrats are screwing everyone over by encouraging this war. We do not want MAGA to have Wartime Powers. We do not want JD Vance, Stephen Miller, and Mike Johnson to have Wartime Powers.

This is usually by design to protect risky seats and give the impression that they were opposed for political points. In essence those 18 Republicans are only enabled to vote no because they know Dems are supporting this passing. If more Dems voted no, less Republicans would have.
No, we’re not allowed to criticize Democrats on Lemmy. It automatically makes you Russian MAGA.
Bluth: there’s always money to bomb Afghanistan, Michael
This bill also removed the right to repair requirement for military contracts. So if that $100 million jet from Lockheed martin breaks then we have to pay them whatever they want to fix it.
This creates a great incentive for the military contractors to build quality durable hardware …
The bill, which is now bound for the Senate and which authorizes more than $900 billion, includes “critical pro-Israel provisions,” according to AIPAC.
More genocide money. Fuck America and Israel.
Not surprising, about %50 of democrats are impostors. They would easily switch to republican party if they riskrd losing their seats.
There’s a reason we scoff at the notion of “far left” in US politics. Their options are right wing and fascist.
So anywhere from half-to a majority aren’t Democrats in your mind?
Sounds like that’s just what Democrats are and you’re struggling to come to terms with it.
Squares and Rectangles…
Every Republican is a corrupt politician, but not ever corrupt politician is a Republican.
The logical solution is getting rid of corrupt politicians regardless of party.
Guess US needs more oil huh
“Nah, I heard oil… THAT SHIT MINE!”
The House of Representatives is basically the Board of Directors for the American Military Industrial Complex
That implies they hold influence and aren’t just purchased pawns
Imperialism has always been bipartisan.
I’ve lost all hope in this shithole country.
stay out of spite, and start organizing
have you been studying in socialist theory? if so, then is it okay i can have some tips on making studying socialist theory easy and fun?
time to organize
Dems gonna dem
Such a wicked nation
I mean that’s unfortunately just the normal military budget lol. There’s no extra money in there for a war. That’s the peace time budget.
“Peace”
peace(and a couple forever wars, covert ops, and constant posturing)
I want to know why those 18 Republicans voted against it
They didn’t receive sufficient contributions from the military industrial complex?
Maybe they wanted a version of the bill with more money and weapons to Israel?
Does this belong in this community? Honestly curious. Fits the format, but not the theme.
