White House Seeks $105 Billion to Arm Israel, Ukraine, and Taiwan

And yet that's too much when it's for anything other than war.

Since it's insignificant, would you please send me $314 to cover my share?

or infrastructure or child care or

You're kinda contradicting yourself.

They don't spend public dollars on health. They give it to insurance companies and administrative staff and pharmaceutical companies and other private moneyed interests, and then there's none left for us.

I assume that any military spending would be equally inefficient.

the point is that the democrats are a right wing party, as evidenced by their ongoing funding of war at the expense of their own citizens' well being.

this is like extremely basic logic

The specific combination of factors in the historical formation of U.S. society—dominant “biblical” religious ideology and absence of a workers’ party—has resulted in government by a de facto single party, the party of capital. The two segments that make up this single party share the same fundamental liberalism. Both focus their attention solely on the minority who “participate” in the truncated and powerless democratic life on offer. Each has its supporters in the middle classes, since the working classes seldom vote, and has adapted its language to them. Each encapsulates a conglomerate of segmentary capitalist interests (the “lobbies”) and supporters from various “communities.”

American democracy is today the advanced model of what I call “low-intensity democracy.” It operates on the basis of a complete separation between the management of political life, grounded on the practice of electoral democracy, and the management of economic life, governed by the laws of capital accumulation. Moreover, this separation is not questioned in any substantial way, but is, rather, part of what is called the general consensus. Yet that separation eliminates all the creative potential found in political democracy. It emasculates the representative institutions (parliaments and others), which are made powerless in the face of the “market” whose dictates must be accepted.

My mistake, I meant "both parties," as in Democrats and Republicans.

I believe that democrats should at the very least oppose genocide (rather than encourage it) if they want to be considered different from the republicans.

Remember when Hitler and Lincoln both signed the "Don't eat shit" Bill before one lost a war and ate shit while the other won a war and ate shit? Good thing they did, because otherwise your example would be shit.

if agreeing on legislation doesnt make them the same, what does?
