Now what political party does this remind me of… hmmm…

You also didn’t answer the question on why you think Genocide shouldn’t be a reductive label.

Seems like they’re avoiding answering direct questions about their beliefs or even fully explaining them. Why you might do that is anyone’s guess

You’re so close to seeing your presupposed framing for what it is.

Please just spell it out for me and stop this bullshit.

There you go again. I’m not sure why you feel the need to ascribe your brain dump binaries onto me, as if somehow I can only believe the things you make up for me.

You could just clarify. Good VP choice, yes or no?

Also that’s not an assumption, that’s a prediction.

Not a good one so far.

What happened to “I don’t really care dude”? Seems like you suddenly care again. When did that change?

Perhaps you should read more carefully. You said that tripling down doesn’t make me look smarter. I don’t care about that.

I like that YouTube series.

I’m not saying you’re an apologist, but clearly your initial comment laid the blame at the feet of unhappy voters, not the genocide supporting VP candidate. That feels like apologetics. Perhaps you think he would have been a bad choice too, but you chose to blame the left (or “far left”) for having a problem with this in your comment, without acknowledging the issue, and that speaks volumes.

You’re a whisper away from baselessly calling me a Zionist. I can feel it coming.

Lol and I’m supposedly the one making bad faith assumptions?

Them: “We don’t want a VP candidate that supports genocide”

You: “Oh look here comes the circular firing squad” ie “these people who take issue with the candidate are the problem, not the candidate”

Please tell me how this isn’t apologetics or playing defense for someone supporting genocide

I really don’t have any intention to do that, I don’t know you. Anyway looks like she chose correctly now. So it’s all good.

I don’t really care dude

I’ll take “more apologetics the abhorrent” for 100, Alex.

People just really dislike genocide it seems. It’s almost like they’d rather vote for people who don’t support it. The real question is why you apparently have such a problem with that?

Harris seems better on this and the party is basically united, so why fuck it up now? The fact that you jump to blame voters is embarrassing

My man is so nuanced he can blame Hamas for the actions of Israel and can see how up is actually just the same as down if you’re all smart and nuanced about it

You totally avoided my question. Who is bombing Gaza? Because I’m pretty fucking sure it isn’t Hamas

This is just something “Vote blue no matter who” types imply when they talk about this. I wasn’t actually making this point as such.

trump got us OUT of a war that Biden oversaw the continuance of for 8 years

Lol how did that go?

For this issue, there’s the stuff he did during his term as mentioned above, and as usual quoting him is enough:

“So you have a war that’s going on, and you’re probably going to have to let this play out,” Trump told Univision. “You’re probably going to have to let it play out because a lot of people are dying.”

“There is no hatred like the Palestinian hatred of Israel and Jewish people. And probably the other way around also, I don’t know. You know, it’s not as obvious, but probably that’s it too. So sometimes you have to let things play out and you have to see where it ends,” he added, calling what was taking place in Gaza “unbelievable.”

So you’re right. Since a lot of people are dying he thinks we should “let it play out,” and also incidentally said he wouldn’t allow Gazan refugees in the US and previously released a “peace plan” that matched Netanyahu’s.

So my source is the continued, ill-considered and idiotic behaviour of this egotistical man child and the words that spew from his mouth on a daily basis. The fact that this is the best the republicans can do is truly embarrassing

I’m confused. Isn’t Israel the one dropping the bombs?

But this is fine because Trump would send them even faster and make the children even more dead. All hail the glorious two party system.

That’s called a blockade. It’s been happening forever.

No not that, this

Do you honestly think this group of Palestinians wouldn’t reelect them if a vote was held today?

We don’t know, do we? Because there has been no election. On October 6th a poll of Gazans did not support your conclusion: here Afterwards it gets a bit complicated because there is a “rally round the flag” effect that tends to increase support for current governments in war.

The point is that they do not currently have a democratic mandate.

For some reason you people ignore every other actual atrocity going on in the world to hate the Jews even harder. 2 million Uyghurs dead at China’s hand? No outrage.

Absolutely there is outrage! I don’t know what media you’re reading but maybe have a look around!

And “You people”? Lol.

Yes. In war, it’s super common for civilian populations to lose their homes, lose access to food and water supplies, etc

This isn’t quite the same though is it? Food, water and essential supplies were purposefully cut off.

You didn’t answer this part: given the fact that the last election was 2006 and about half of the population wasn’t even alive, did they really choose this?

Yeah, that’s how war works. The leadership (in this case one chosen by the people) chooses on behalf of their people.

The last election in Gaza was in 2006. About half of the population wasn’t even alive. Did they really choose this?

Yeah, that’s how war works.

So collective punishment of the civilian population is part of all war, in your view? Including cutting off food and water?

Specifically, what it looks like when you start a war with a country more powerful than you.

This is where you lose me. What percentage of Gaza’s population “started” the war?

Yeah there’s a fucking ton of applications in physics as well but then again physics has ghost particle fields and a single observation can make a wave function the size of the universe collapse to an infinitesimal point. So stop doing physics as well

Topologically my socks don’t have a hole in. Stop doing topology, they have played us for absolute fools
