It seems to me that Republicans and the Christian Nationalists they are in bed with are going to be immovably pro-Israel. How do we prevent our government from participating in this genocide as these new politicians take power?

    t’ll help if you didn’t reduce someone’s viewpoints as being childish or that they know only the basics

    You say that but then go on to equate what’s happened in the West Bank with what’s happened in Gaza, which is downright insane. It’s like saying “I had a paper cut, not much different from being the victim in a Saw movie.” Like, you think it’s a coincidence they announced plans to annex just hours after the election? ffs

    Admittedly, I do love the silliness of “Harris just had to have a harder stance.” Trying to picture how she’d campaign like that has kept me giggling for awhile. “So, do you oppose the current administration of which you are a part?” “No, I just… We need to do things differently.” “Are you making Biden a lame duck president in August? What other policies of his do you think are wrong? Do you think Biden doesn’t value Palestinians? Why do you think Biden won’t do this? If you disagree with your administration, why did you wait until you were a candidate to take a stand? Should foreign leaders just deal with you directly instead of bothering with Biden these days?” "Damnit guys, can we please just talk about Rampart? "

    Goodness. I get that you want to care etc but you’re digging yourself into stranger and sillier positions. As you grow up, you’ll find it’s not just useful to admit you weren’t entirely correct, it’s actually a really mature response which people respect that. Doubling down on sillier and sillier claims just makes you and your side look foolish.
