    No, it isn’t. Clearly, we aren’t capable of shame here in the US.

    If we had any shame at all we wouldn’t be voting for Biden, Trump, or Harris. All three are enthusiastic supporters of Israel and their genocide, which apparently 99% of voters don’t see as a disqualifying position.

        She’s not. But this “they’re all the same” bullshit is what sows discord and will get Trump re-elected.

        They’re not wrong that our policy toward Israel needs re-evaluation. But I would caution against engaging with anyone who equates Trump to Biden or Harris.

          It’s pretty clear what’s going on when someone comes into every single thread and tries to encourage Democrats not to vote.

          Let’s make sure we’re in every single thread counteracting that shit.

        I don’t care what she says in the press.

        Biden wrung his hands too, but at the end of the day, made sure Israel got more weapons they’re now using to blow up kids.

        I’ll believe that Harris is different when she uses the power she has to stop that funding.

          Okay, but it is false to claim that she is a enthusiastic supporter without any evidence of said support.

            Okay.

            She is a someone whose public position on Israel is inconsequential because she is fully committed to ensuring that funding and weapons for their child genocide do not run out.

            Do you like that better?

            It’s wholly factual.

              Look, I understand where you’re coming from and what you’re saying, but please bring down the temperature in your comments, even if others seem pedantic or nitpicking to you.

              You’re welcome to express your opinion and agree or disagree with others as you see fit, but when you do so please remember the human on the other end of the discussion. There’s no need for picking unnecessary fights with others or being overly antagonistic, and we’re seeing a pattern of these threads you’re involved in getting really heated.

        That’s what the DNC has done since the southern strategy flipped their poles, yes.

        Just appease the fascists! That’ll help!
