Whether It’s Biden or Someone Else, Gaza Remains Top Priority for “Uncommitted” Voters
  • No. I’m saying not involving an ocean and being right next to Ukraine is a lot closer

    What?

    In both cases Russia and Israel are partly invading to get ocean access, but you're coming out of nowhere with that...

    Like, none of what you're saying is making any sense.

    Did you mean to reply to someone else?

    I’m done arguing about distances on a map when it is much closer than we are.

    Closer than we are to what?

    You mean Israel is closer to Russia than America?

    That's not true either.

    But like, you're the one that only wants to talk about the distance you were wrong about, there's lots of other wrong things you said I'm trying to explain here...

  • Whether It’s Biden or Someone Else, Gaza Remains Top Priority for “Uncommitted” Voters
  • And you’re ignoring literally everything else I said

    I mean, when talking about geopolitics, the "geo" part is fundamentally important...

    It would have been nice if you apologized, but fine we'll move on to the next sentence:

    Meanwhile in Sudan, Ukraine, China, Myanmar, etc. there are millions more people being killed/impacted by genocidal governments and these don’t even make the list of anyone giving a shit when it comes to presidential choice.

    In which of those is the US providing munitions to the attackers against international and domestic laws for them to carry out a genocide?

    Quick edit:

    Were you going to answer this:

    And why are you calling a genocide a war? Because the victims have been resisting?

    There's just so much wrong with your first comment, it's hard to address it all.

    But I'm willing to help explain it so you can understand. This is pretty important stuff. We cleared up that Israel isn't in Europe pretty quickly. So I'm optimistic on the rest.

  • Whether It’s Biden or Someone Else, Gaza Remains Top Priority for “Uncommitted” Voters
  • It’s on the same continent

    Just about 50% further away than America is wide...

    Like, did you think putting something in all caps meant sarcasm?

    Usually people do it to show that they're being literal.

    Did you just not know and instead of admitting it you're trying to say that you knew it was 3,700 miles away and intentionally said that was close?

    Pissing them off may not be a good formula. Even if they are doing shitty things.

    1. Genocide that we're violating international law to supply munitions for is not "shitty things"

    2. Pissing them off? By telling them to stop the current genocide or not to attack another foreign government at the same time that's allied with multiple nuclear powers?

    It’s not a black and white decision to stop helping when they have been receiving it for 50 plus years.

    Well, that's sunk cost fallacy... And over those 50 years almost every US president has had to threaten to cut off aid to prevent it from progressing to this. It wasn't till Biden came into office after 50 years of saying he'll always support Israel for them to take it this far. Biden isn't going to stop, and neither is Israel

    I'm just trying to get your pov, but I can't follow it logically

  • Whether It’s Biden or Someone Else, Gaza Remains Top Priority for “Uncommitted” Voters
  • Except Israel has been talking about starting another invasion against Hezbollah...

    Who have a defensive treaty with Russia, Iran, and a couple others.

    An ally that starts wars isn't a good ally.

    They're not providing a strategic advantage, they're dragging us into large scale multi-country war.

    It would likely get tied up with Ukraine as well, and get us to a legit WW3.

    Because Biden won't cut weapons to Israel and has spent 50 years saying there's no line that Israel could cross

    Edit:

    RIGHT NEXT TO RUSSIA.

    I googled it...

    Israel is 3,700 some miles away from Russia. That's wider than America

  • Kendrick Lamar - Not Like Us - YouTube

  • But it'll all be fine, I'm sure it'll blow over and never affect me
  • parallels with Idiocracy

    Bro, life's been like that for some people, for forever.

    A 145 IQ isn't that crazy, like 1 in 1200 people. About the same frequency as someone transitioning.

    But an intellectual deficiency is defined as 30 points lower than frame of reference, which is normally 100.

    For someone at 145, about 84% of humanity is at least 30 points lower. And in your day to day life, you're not gonna run into that other 16% often

    So if one of them was the reference point, like Not Sure in Idiocracy, then this is already idiocracy.

    "Ignorance is bliss" isn't just a saying, being intelligent fucking sucks.

  • Biden tells Democratic governors he needs more sleep and plans to stop scheduling events after 8 p.m.
  • The funniest part is when they pivot to Biden not being important because staff does everything...

    Every argument for Biden being the candidate, comes down to Biden having zero power or importance as president. But also trump can do anything he wants if Biden loses.

    Like, why the fuck are we plowing ahead with 34% approval rating incumbent if he literally brings nothing to the table? And if Biden as president is powerless, the only way Trump could be so dangerous is Biden chooses not to act.

    The more people talk about Biden, the less sense he makes as a candidate to voters.

    And getting more votes (in the right states) is what matters most short term. Biden isn't up to it.

  • Whether It’s Biden or Someone Else, Gaza Remains Top Priority for “Uncommitted” Voters
  • Which is why we need to run a candidate with a shot of beating trump...

    It's too important of an election to let Joe have one more go out of nostalgia.

    It would be easiest for everyone if he stepped aside, but he's not willing to.

  • Biden tells Democratic governors he needs more sleep and plans to stop scheduling events after 8 p.m.
  • Because he's sundowning...

    He's no longer fit to be president, they've been hiding it for a year, he's lucky he hasn't gotten the 25th.

    Pre-emptive edit:

    Yes, trump is worse. But republicans won't do shit. We can be better than them. Have higher standards.

    It'll even help keep republicans out of office.

    Edit:

    For people who don't know what that is, he's admitted to most of the symptoms, and the things he blames the symptoms on, are literally well known triggers that exacerbate the symptoms.

    https://www.webmd.com/alzheimers/manage-sundowning

    https://www.nia.nih.gov/health/alzheimers-changes-behavior-and-communication/tips-coping-sundowning

    If you're lucky enough you'll develop symptoms before you die, we're all on a clock our brains don't work forever.

  • Biden says he 'screwed up' debate but vows to stay in election
  • A New York Times poll conducted after the debate, which was published on Wednesday, suggested Trump was now holding his biggest lead yet at six points.

    And a separate poll published by the BBC’s US partner CBS News suggested Trump has a three-point lead over Mr Biden in the crucial battleground states

    Him refusing to listen to voters is reason enough to replace him.

    But Joe can't win without Dem voters. Every indication is he's willing to hand trump the presidency out of spite if the party doesn't force him out.

    He's not fit to be president, even if we beat Trump. We're stuck with this shit where Biden does whatever the fuck he wants, and rarely agrees with the people who put him in office.

  • Biden at 81: Often sharp and focused but sometimes confused and forgetful
  • If there was one at this point it would hurt the chances of the democrats winning.

    Whitmere has a smaller difference than Biden does...

    She hasn't been running a campaign or been backed by the DNC?

    Why would she suddenly do worse with those things?

    But this is all just my opinion and not fact.

    It is your opinion, the issue is to get to it you're ignoring facts ..

    I’m not looking to get into a political debate

    So...

    You just want to proclaim your opinions and not have anyone explain why you're wrong?

    You could just stop commenting on politics, that would help with avoiding political debates

  • 4th of July
  • Eh..

    The Tea story was England had been ignoring smuggling, then after a lot of warnings, enforced it by seizing smuggled tea and shipping it to England to be taxed.

    This meant the only tea on the market was legal tea and a very very small reserve of smuggled.

    So the smugglers dumped all the legal tea into the harbour, driving up both prices, making tea prohibitively expensive for most Americans, but maintained profits.

    It's presented as an act of rebellion, when it was spoiled rich people di king over the commonors for money.

  • Biden at 81: Often sharp and focused but sometimes confused and forgetful
  • Because a change at this point would be almoost impossible

    How?

    The candidate literally hasn't been named yet?

    And any lead that the democrats may have will be put in jepordy by a change.

    Lead?

    What lead?

    trump is fucking winning in polls because Biden's approval rating was down to like 34% last I checked.

    We can't afford to keep Biden.
