Yeah I think so. I went looking for it on twitter proper and I can't find it, but I did find him responding to people saying he deleted a post because their replies convinced him it was a bad take and he didn't want to leave it up. Shockingly rare instance where someone actually has their mind changed online.
The people who call these heroes 'terrorists' are the kind of scum no one should ever listen to; I recall at least one lib who came here a few months ago who was calling them that while referring to what Israel was doing as genocide (although I'm sure he only called it genocide reluctantly to be honest).
Can someone explain how this argument is valid? I don't think it's sound, and I think we've reached consensus on that, but even the claim that Democrats would cause a slower genocide is questionable. Unconditional support for Israel is unconditional. There's no faster genocide under Trump, there's no ceasefire deal under Kamala L3Harris. Those are both lies.
100% this. Its absolutely no different than when they were telling people to vote for Biden because he was "clearly the candidate more qualified to end the violence" even as they approved more weapons and shut down any dissent. The premise that the democrats represent a position that is in anyway distinguishable from the republicans on the issue of Gaza is especially hilarious to me because it is practically democratic voters regurgitating and accepting republican talking points even as the democratic party itself denies it.
One could potentially argue that Trump's rhetoric of "finishing the job" means that he would do something to accelerate things by directly committing troops/planes/whatever. But we don't know exactly what would happen, so even then voting for slower genocide is more like voting for some unknown probability X that the genocide will be slower. Everyone in Kamala's corner is parsing her statements according to what they assume will be true and then projecting that into the future with 100% confidence.
See, that's the exact thing I mean though, is there any reason to believe that if Netanyahu asked Kamala for whatever it is that Trump would give Israel, she'd say no? You'd have to really give her the benefit of the doubt, and she's already bragging about how much she's supported "Israel" in the past, so why shouldn't we assume that when she says unconditional it means unconditional?
I once tried to count the total number of time travel trips in the Back to the Future series, and I'm pretty sure there's a strong argument that they took 14 trips at 88mph. Curious.
Genocide is gonna happen no matter what and nothing you can do will change that so why even try! Why yes this is the morally correct position I'm surprised you even had to ask!
Respectfully disagree, I'd say that's precisely what Liberalism argues underneath it all. Setting the timetable for another man's freedom and all that.
Ya seriously what the fuck happened. How do you write two tomes about the two worst presidencies in history then turn around and make fun of Palestinian solidarity protestors for being ineffective (which he'd done prodigiously)
