    With one hand your ignorance can cover the sky. How impressive! Now talk to me about EMTALA, or Griswold, or Obergefell—and we’re not even touching the thrilling possibilities of executive action. People who are paying attention (and aren’t straight white men devoid of empathy) are taking this seriously. Maybe you should investigate why.

      The side calling 100k+ dead foreign brown kids a “single issue” is so much more empathetic than the evil white man pointing out how awful it is. Cirque du soleil may have an opening for their new mental themed acrobatics show if you are interested.

        Okay. What is your plan to stop it? Omit the magic beans. I have allergies.

        Lay it out step by step.

          As soon as they started using our bombs and tax money to blow up safety camps for displaced citizens, we should have quit giving them everything they asked for. If we must, we should be lending them money, not straight giving them billions in free bombs. That would be the simplest start. It is clear they are way beyond selPalestine.

          I find it very hard to believe that the most peaceful president in nearly everyone’s lifetimes is going to go nuking palestine. I know there’s a bunch of people who are convinced he is, I just don’t buy it.

            This is not a plan.

            We know what is happening in Palestine is an atrocity. Who stops the sale of arms and bombs. How do we get them into office? Outline how this works practically. What levers of power are we throwing to get the result we want? Be specific.

            Just saying because we should stop selling is cheap. 1/3 of the cointry doesn’t care, another 1/3 likes the genocide. How do we outmaneuver them?

            Because not voting blue, and not having anything more concrete than ‘because we shouldn’t’ doesn’t save a single Palestinian but comes with the doorprize of 10 year olds forced to have their rapist’s baby, and open season on trans people, blank checks to corpos, the end of public schools, etc. Performative morality is a blight.

        than the evil white man pointing out how awful it is

        Why are you lying? Trump’s position on Israel is that it should “finish the job” [of genociding the Palestinians].
