  • If the public stance was not Democrats being 100% for Israel, then they believed they would have lost the election because of the political PACs and donors flipping to fund the opposition.

    They chased the money and they lost. Trump had less funding and he won. Aren’t you interested in asking why?

    Another question. If it is possible to win with less funding, why do you consider it a “damned if you do, damned if you don’t” situation?

    In hindsight it should be easy to see that they were only damned for what they did (backed a genocide), and would not have been otherwise. Too many people can’t get past their bitterness towards abstainers to consider how this outcome was an unforced error on the part of the DNC, and are seemingly content to repeat the same mistake.





  • What is he forcing? Are you forced to read his comments, engage with his posts? Is the thorn being beamed into people’s skulls like the Futurama dream ads?

    Y’all are just occasionally happening upon a character you’re not familiar with being used in a way you’re not used to and you’re annoyed at being challenged a bit every now and then. He’s not “forcing” anything.

    Again, it’s not a huge deal in this case, but this same logic applied to something more serious can be dangerous. It’s the same logic conservatives and “centrists” (embarassed conservatives) use to complain about queer people “forcing” their “lifestyle” everywhere. They’re just annoyed at having to acknowledge their existence.




  • Or they’re bi. I grew up ultra religious and the choice explanation made more sense to me because I had both homo and hetero urges, and I assumed it was the same for everyone (I thought of people who claimed otherwise as self-righteous). In my mind at the time homosexual urges were just part of people’s sinful nature they had to overcome. The whole thing only seems so incoherent from an outside perspective, which I was fortunately able to arrive at after experiencing the world more.





  • Biden won 2020, and I think it’s safe to say he was fairly establishment.

    Barely, and only coming out of Trump’s first term that had many people looking for a “return to normal.” The Democratic party will never succeed running another Biden every election. The people can see that the status quo is not working for them, and they’re fed up with corporate dems telling them that we need to preserve the status quo at all costs.

    Call me what you like, but I think you have more in common with me than with MAGA. And if your IFF is malfunctioning, well, I hope you get it checked out soon.

    I didn’t call you anything. I can see that you’re my friend, but the establishment and all the politicians who fight to preserve it instead of fighting the fascists in power are foes, and the sooner you realize that the sooner we can work together to change it.
