        Assuming that person is a socialist, we advocate for organizing, not just voting (and imo voting is fine but it can’t be the full extent of your political involvement)

    https://lemmy.world/post/44104254 identifies that Fetterman seems to be carte-blanche pro-zionism, suggesting he’s owned by Netanyahu’s kompromat on him…

    & if Netanyahu’s “Israel” wants Cuba broken, then … that would extend to this, too…

    ( no idea if that’s true, but compromised “representatives” are not proper/correct, at all. )

      I don’t think there’s damning evidence, I just think he’s a self-serving garbage person, there’s evidence he always was, and he’s doing self - serving garbage person things.

      Israel has absolutely no interest in Cuba in any way, shape, or form. If Israel has kompromat on Fetterman, which it doesn’t even need since the guy would do anything they asked him anyway, they’re not going to direct him to go against Cuba unless the US power elite asks them to do it. The USA is still in charge in this relationship. Israel has developed some of its own interests for survival and has to coerce powerful people in the US sometimes, but Israel is not setting the Cuba agenda.

          From the US spin doctor perspective, possibly. But Israel needs the US 100% focused on West Asia. It’s existential for them

            so is cuba for a capitalist controlled united states. the capitalist oligarchy have already lost the narrative battle that socialism creates hellholes in countries with vast numbers of people and resources like china and losing that narrative w a small nation that continues to thrive despite all attempts to choke it to death proves that capitalism isn’t necessary nor fundamental to anything.

              Not really. Iran is an existential problem for Israel because of its ability to project force. Cuba is an indirect existential problem for the USA because it might inspire the USA working class to become an existential threat to the oligarchy. These are very different.
