Welcome to the brotherhood of being a human being, though I suspect you've been here for some time. we respect your choice to vote for harris.
snicker someone doesn't know how voting works clearly when living in a blue/red state.
also can someone find me a rabies shot? this one is foaming at the mouth.
When? Im not an Oracle. May take decades. May get worse before it gets better in certain areas. The USSR took a generation to collapse.
Im hoping harris move to the right enough and manages it. So we can split the dem party finally.
Wow i never knew! Thanks! 🤯
It amuses me how rational you think you are while simultaneously missing the point. The gop will collapse, and then the dems will be the right wing party that they want to be. And the fight will begin anew. Harris shift to the right is a fine demonstration of this.
They were joking. Also CGP grey didnt cover things like how fptp is influenced by there being multiple branches of government, having the electoral college in the mix, etc.
While it's a great video its overly simplistic to apply to america. While i believe fptp has to go. You absolutely can vote third party safely without risking trump if the conditions are right and they often are in the us there are few battle ground states where it's higher risk
its a common refrain. I don't particularly care.
And what makes you conclude that violent opposition from Muslim fanatics prohibits the immigrants from being peaceful?
Who invited them to Palestinian? did they have a statue saying 'bring us your tired, your weak, your sick?' why call them violent muslin fanatics and not just Muslim fanatics?
We both know why jerusalum was chosen. because they considered it their holy land. we also both know that immigration is rarely accepted by local populations. just look at our own country (assuming you live in the US).
If you think I care about the palestinians any more than the jews in israel you're incorrect. I care that American weapons and funds are committing a genocide, and act clearly prohibited by our laws. I care very deeply that both sides stop killing each other. Did you know that the biden admin, and the saudis were close to having an agreement to create a palestinian state and normalize relations with israel and the suadis on oct 6 just prior to the attacks? I wonder why hamas attacked, I wonder why bibi is going on a rampage. both parties that benefit from tense relations.
Can you imagine what might have happened in bibi just took the hit and tried to work it out peacefully? can you imagine if biden put his foot down just once early on and forced them to?
I don't give a shit who threw the first punch generations ago. what matters is the actions that are being taken today. I fear now we're another 4 generations away from peace.
ah yes, the classic 'it was their land originally' argument. they had to fight a civil war with the local government and won due to support from western powers.
The British government had publicly committed itself to the creation of a Jewish homeland in the 1917 Balfour declaration. Palestinian Arabs opposed this design, asserting their rights over the former Ottoman territories and seeking to prevent Jewish immigration. As a result, Arab–Jewish tensions grew in the succeeding decades of British administration. In late 1947, the United Nations voted for the partition of Mandate Palestine and the creation of a Jewish and an Arab state on its territory; the Jews accepted the plan, while the Arabs rejected it. A civil war ensued, won by the Jews.
After pushing out the Ottomans, Palestine came under martial law. The British, French and Arab Occupied Enemy Territory Administration governed the area shortly before the armistice with the Ottomans until the promulgation of the mandate in 1920.
that not nearly the same thing. as 'peaceful immigration' as you try to imply. I don't particularly care one way or the other, religious fanatics are gonna fanatic. do you have a particular point you were trying to make?
Lolol invented israel to eecape blood shed. Thats rich. Because taking one group of religious fanatics and stealing the land of another group of religious fanatics never caused blood shed. Rofl man i havent laughed this hard all week. Thanks.
I dint particularly care if they court me. Harris can have all the policies in the world she cant enact 99% of them without democrats in the legislature ao they're worth less than the paper they're written on without yhose commitments. Its not like they have a job other than writing this legislation. Should have these bills ready to go with their signatures on them. Now that would convince me she can deliver.
Now if harris committed to arms embargo by upholding leahy w/ israel, or keeping ms khan, or promising to support striking workers with aid, id be all over her. Because she can do that.
You see the difference between me and you is i hold politicians accountable for what they can do..not what i want to hear.

your actions say otherwise. you understand what you want to avoid. but you don't know how to actually avoid it.
does it? i've never seen evidence of this. I've seen 3rd party candidate pull enough votes that if they were applied to democrats they would have won. But there is no evidence those votes would have gone to the democrat if the third party was absent. This is a fiction you've made up in your head to appease your ego and to place blame on others.
What really is happening here is you're upset that your candidate lost and you want to blame others instead of the candidate for being a horrible human. Harris can fix her genocidal chains, she won't, but she could. And worse if she does lose then the entire basis of you voting for the lesser evil is proven ineffectual further damaging your self image because now not only did the evil you wish to prevent succeeded, but you compromised your morals and enabled a genocide.
Its a shame really the lies we tell ourselves.
