    What part of cutting military funding by 90% (Claudia de la Cruz’s platform) would fail to stop funding Israel?

      They will have a barely above zero chance of successfully doing this. My god you people will believe anything won’t you?

      I wonder why they didn’t just say they’re going to end world hunger…. Or cure cancer.

      De la Cruz is a nobody that has no idea what there doing and no chance to ever see a position of authority to create let alone enact any policy that would produce meaningful change.

      She’s a spoiler. And at this point- I’m beginning to think it’s purposeful.

      You really think she’d have the support of Congress to do such a thing? In a system like America’s? That’s ridiculous. You should know full well such a thing would never happen even if Cruz were to magically win the presidency.

      Talk is cheap, and it’s easy for third parties to say they’ll make such sweeping changes when they don’t have to actually back it up. They can tell you what you want to hear, but at the end of the day it’s all talk because such policies will never get past Congress.
