Chicago Police and the FBI are investigating if saboteurs placed bugs in a breakfast buffet prepared for delegates at the Democratic National Convention on Wednesday.

“Multiple unknown female offenders are alleged to have entered a building…and began placing unknown objects onto tables containing food,” the convention’s information center said in a statement. “The offenders are believed to have then left the area. One victim was treated and released on-scene. Along with CPD, FBI-Chicago is assisting in the investigation.”

    So what you’re saying is that we should let trump win and let israel completely wipe gaza and the west bank off the map? We don’t vote for harris because we love her or something. We vote to keep fascists from winning and destroying everything.

    What is it with you people? Im pro-palestine but do you want lgbt people murdered, people of color even more oppressed, set back society 80 years, possibly never get to vote again because trump WILL make sure of that. And dont forget destroying educations, food health and safety and other laws and institutions that makes society better and safer?

    I get that democrats are not doing nearly enough to stop israel. But trump will do so so so much worse. And not only the palestinian people, but also america itself.

      What in your brain makes you think they’re saying that? Demanding more from Democratic leadership isn’t the same thing as saying you’re going to vote for trump, or not vote at all.

      Will I vote for Kamala? Sure its better than Trump, and even a little better than Biden. She’s still a fucking cop who supports genocide though. Low fucking bar, and we absolutely have every right to removed, moan, and complain about it.

      Stop making excuses for establishment neoliberalism

        “I will demand more from them by poisoning their food! That will surely make them love me! And listen to me! There no way this can backfire at all!1!”

      That’s a lot of words to say you tolerate genocide abroad to avoid it at home.

        Maybe all those words are saying something about naive single-issue voters who can’t comprehend the world is not perfect and it’s not that simple.

          Genocide is non-negotiable. Shame some people don’t agree with that sentiment.

            Theres plenty of room to argue that

            1. No US presidential candidates are involved in genocide
            2. While there’s a huge atrocity/humanitarian crisis in Gaza, genocide implies an intent that’s not there
            3. Hamas started it and are the legally elected and internationally recognized government - they invaded a foreign country, killed over 1,000 civilians, kidnapped hundreds as hostages, and assumed they could just leave safely.

            No one can argue the horror being inflicted on Palestinian civilians, nor the scale of that horror, but it’s not as black and white as you make it seem by throwing around loaded terms like “genocide”, nor is US directly involved, nor can we necessarily intervene in another country’s affairs

              Biden literally fast tracked arms and funding to Israel. As well as all the warships and other direct military support being offered.

              America is literally the sole reason Israel continues to act with impunity.

              And this genocide has been going on long before Hamas, they didn’t start shit.

              To pretend America is not deeply involved in this affair is the most ignorant brain dead take possible.

                There’s been a deal with Israel since 2016. Israel is fighting after a terrorist attack. They’re doing your genocide, blame them. Weird how nobody blames Israel, instead they want to blame the Democrats??? Laughable.

                This isn’t working, you’re not helping your cause, in fact you’re just pissing people off that do care and would do something. Hmmm, maybe you know and understand that and you want the genocide so this is your way of making sure it happens? Is that true?

        Trump called Bibi in an attempt to sink a ceasefire deal because it would help the Democrats. But I’m sure since you’re so concerned with genocide that you’ve already heard this and called him out on it.
