Package a TikTok bill along with aid for Ukraine, Israel AND Taiwan? Even lumping the aid bills together for 3 different countries is odd but the hell does TikTok now have to do with any of it? This is a weird system you guys got there.
Bernie Sanders has been saying for 30 years that the bill is too damn long! Representatives get very limited time to read bills so they usually don’t and just vote along party lines. This is a form of deception and it’s intentional.
It sucks I know, but if it gets Ukraine aid passed, lump in everything together. That’s the most important piece of legislation needed right now and we need it to pass.
Ukraine is a major global food supplier. The war has directly impacted food prices. And if Russia succeeds, it will only encourage more conflict of this kind. And that’s ignoring the possibility that this will escalate into an even larger conflict because Putin decides that NATO’s resolve is weak enough that article 5 is no longer a plausible threat.
Also, that stupid argument applies just as much to funding schools, cancer research, fighting climate change and basically all other functions of government that serve the public good. We should do more to address economic issues, but that doesn’t mean we should stop doing everything else.

TikTok is controlled by the CCP which will happily push propaganda that impacts all three countries.
First off it’s not owned by the CCP and 2nd off almost all media you consume in America is American propaganda.
I didn’t say owned, and if you think they don’t control it you’re ignorant of how the CCP works.
Well aware of how they work, you’re just a dumbass that eats up American propaganda.
Go back to hexbear tankie trash
Ok nazi

How does aid for Ukraine change the fact I work 50 hours a week and can’t afford a studio apartment?
It doesn’t because you not being able to afford a studio apartment doesn’t plunge NATO into a war.
I gotta be honest, this is probably the stupidest comparison I’ve ever heard.
The fuck do I care about Nato if I can’t afford housing and food? Fuck NATO

Military spending bills will benefit the military industrial complex, and banning TikTok will benefit the military industrial complex.
