If the President ordered all Red haired citizens to be incarnated, that's completely fine I guess.

As a Magic: The Gathering Player it is super annoying to get to the end of an "MTG" article only to discover it's about Marjorie Taylor Greene.

I'm going to be honest, it is extremely tedious to have to keep explaining to people why they shouldn't shoot themselves in the dick.

Oof, this is not great interview, especially because in the past Simon made a point of saying that the reason he was correct about 2022 is that he followed the polling and not the pundits.

So basically what you are saying is that you don't actually care about the material situation of Palestinians at all, save as prop for your own moral preening.

Sure, and Trump would give the likud a free hand to starve every remaining Palestinian and stop all aid.

He literally sent his SOS state to talk to Arab leaders in Michigan and told him that Trump supports wiping the Palestinians out so his son-in-law can build beachfront condos but I'm not voting to send the shitlibs a message about geocide. Make it make sense.

So you have decided to withhold your vote because dems have made a strategic decision not to focus on an issue they currently have and will most likely not have in the foreseeable future the power to change knowing that electing Democrats give them the opportunity to replace these justices?

It's a weird conundrum wherein requiring a reasonable regulation of media accuracy may lower the likelihood of an authoritarian takeover but if authoritarians take over it makes their job so much easier.

You pick out a single sentence that supports your position and ignore every other point? You will excuse me if I don't bother engaging in obvious bad faith nonsense. Suffice it to say Netanyahu and other hard liners have repeatedly stated they would prefer a Trump presidency.

Yes yes, this is clearly the format to do that, as opposed to say, reading the linked article that walks you through this exact point.

At least Biden is attempting to get aid to innocent civilians. The Trump administration wouldn't be building a port or pressuring the Netanyahu administration at all. I don't get why the left is so focused on giving Bibi what he most desperately wants: a second Trump admin.

It's weird having to explain to people how much worse this could get. There are a lot of obvious ways in which this could end with hundreds of thousands or millions dead.

It could be orders of magnitude worse. 30,000 dead is a tragedy, imagine 300k dead.

It's cool that you care more about your own sense of moral superiority then making the choice that would result in the better outcome for the people you claim to care about.

The effect will be to make things in the short and long term measurably worse for Palestinians and likely result in an authoritarian takeover of the US, which will certainly have an effect on "democratic behavior" in the sense your vote will not longer matter.

Wait, you mean the left shouldn't have spent the last 6 months shitting all over Biden about a policy where he is orders of magnitude superior to the other option? I've been watching the left do some version of this practically every election for the past 40 years.

Protestors have done a lot of this to themselves by having poor message discipline and insisting on using controversial slogans like "from the river to the sea." These aren't single isolates incidents, you see them at every protest.

Ah yes, amnesty international, the same organization that blamed Ukraine (but not Russia) for putting civilians "in harm's way" during Russia's invasion. A very cromulent source. www.amnesty.org/en/latest/ne...

It cracks me up that any criticism of the protests results in a literal flood of angry apparatchiks to your timeline who are offer nothing other than an object lesson on how to get immediately blocked. The difference between these guys and folks who want to have a discussion is night and day.

To be honest though the GWU protestors have not been covering themselves in glory and recently made death threats against the administration. Not sure if this would rise to the level of a serious and specific threat but seems not great. twitter.com/thestustustu...

I don't think the protestors intend it to be antisemitic, the problem is that it is a slogan used by Hamas whose intent clearly IS antisemitic. It certainly makes a lot American Jews anxious, so the question is, why use it at all? It just serves as a distraction and opens you up to criticism.

I believe he did condemn the white nationalists as well as anyone else acting violently. I was unaware that Joe Biden had control of the California PD.
