If people want to punish Biden, they should vote for Democrats down the ballot to maximize how much he underperforms compared to other Dems and push the narrative that the problem was the candidate and not the party.
i did not say you have to take their word at face value. but your retort makes little sense, as it was political pressure from that administration on the intel agencies to produce a reason to invade, not the other way around.
You posited, instead, that USA support for Israel is the result of politicians wanting money, and thatâs just not based in reality. Thereâs plenty of conflicts and wars the us could push any given day. Israel has held American support for decades for a lot more reasons, and your failure to understand that informs your other bad opinions about the American electorate (like Biden being able to significantly change the publicâs perception on Israel)
Fact is that your position is organically unpopular in the US and pushing it now would seriously risk Trump being president.
Oh my fucking god ikes I literally covered the popularity of the Israeli cause in national politics with this fucking part of the same sentence that you keep pointing to
You use all those words to just restate what I said. âPoliticians continue to support Israel because itâs broadly popular but letâs be honest it also includes because their defense contractor donors like selling weaponsâ jfc how hard is it to just read the fucking words I write
I went through and deleted 16 very unfriendly posts from this thread because I didnât feel like they were conducive to productive conversation and were just going to veer us wildly into hurling insults at one another.
I know that things can get a little bit heated but letâs try to avoid personal insults when they do.
Honest answer would require knowing what state youâre in. For like 9/10 states, youâre cool not voting for or doing shit for Biden (but you should still go vote anyway to support good local leaders/initiatives/etc)
Duterte killing 35,000 poor kids in the slums of Philippines without trial as a âdrug warâ
British troops travelling 2 thirds around the world to kill Argentinians over a grass covered rock with 6 people on it
The US carpet bombing Afghanistan and Iraq
Firebombing cities in WW2
Myanmar ethnic cleansing 600,000 Rohingya with the aid of Facebook
India giving a sly nod to the coverup of pogroms against Muslims
We absolutely fucking can criticise an elected politician for supporting popular mass murder, and use whatever sources of peaceful power we think are appropriate. Like fuck, this is a pretty bleak and simplistic picture of democracy you are putting forward here.
Waking up to 130 posts from a bunch of folks who generally do little accept posting about politics on the internet criticising an artist using his platform effectively to slam a genocideâŚ
Sheesh.
Weâve covered this. Macklemore doesnât need to be right on everything. Heâs an artist. The song is a banger, and on balance itâs a good thing.
The above can be true together with the fact that everyone should vote for Biden.
