    Because first and foremost, these people are authoritarians. Like Jews for Hitler, their craving for the taste of a boot, and to see those they regard as ‘degenerates’ as smashed under it, is far greater than their own sense of self-preservation.

      I think there’s also a contingent that is anti US no matter what, so anyone against the US is good and whether they’re a dictator is a secondary concern.

        You’re probably telling wrong. But do provide an example, please. Edit: inb4 it’s just a “vote for Biden” comment, while also leaving out the “but still pressure him into withholding support for Israel” part.

          Damn, you called it. This is the post she quoted:

          Maybe we can get him to stop funding Israel before that, even. But first and foremost, fascism must be stopped, for the same reason that the Western Allies sided with the Soviet Union in WW2. We may despise each other, but there is a worse foe afoot.

              To be clear, yeah it’s for trying to browbeat people into supporting Biden, and how he treats it as a forgone conclusion that the settlers are going to get their land.

              I have zero confidence in your ability to pressure democrats, I already spent most of the Iraq war and Obamas terms getting told to fuck off because I was antiwar by my democratic reps not sure why they would suddenly have a change of heart now.

                My vote is for people learning to understand the concept of moral metaphors.

                Or more to the point, tell me how to stop the trolley completely before the next election. Go.

                  You can still use the lever clearly, simply flip the lever after one axle of the train has passed over the switch, but before the other axle has. This will force a derailment.
