  • Author seems to have decent enough bonafides to call themselves a socialist.

    But I disagree with this:

    Governor Gretchen Whitmer of Michigan is an effective politician with a promising national future, even if she will never be the great hope of the American left. But she lacks name recognition outside her home state, and she’s never won a national race.

    Anyone named candidate won’t have issues with name recognition after a day or two of being the candidate.

    And she’s ignoring Kamala’s approval numbers are even worse than Biden.

    Over 2/3s of America has no opinion of Whitmere. And sadly enough that makes her our best bet.






  • Also, what level of support matters?

    Well, with the genocide in Gaza, Israel literally would have ran out of munitions and would have had to stop months ago…

    If Biden hadnt kept giving them.

    But Israel is in no way a “proxy” they should be, but Biden lets them drive the car all the way to Genocide town.

    Bibi wants to genocide Palestine, and take their land.

    He ain’t exactly subtle about it, members of his government keep saying it out loud even.

    You’re obviously very opinionated about this, you’re just wrong…

    About almost everything you said so far I’m honestly curious. Where are you getting your information to form these opinions?

    Because if Iran and group take out Israel (as is their stated goal) the US ability to control Iran will be diminished and Iran can then become a bigger threat to the western world.

    Even that.

    If Iran attacks Israel, it’s going to be because Israel keeps attacking Hezbollah, and Iran is one of the country’s they have a defensive treaty with

    Israel is the one starting shit in the Middle East


  • 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…


  • 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.


  • 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


  • 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





  • 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.





  • 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.
