      I wonder - and I mean this seriouslyand not in an /s way - what happens, if you object “bOth SiDeS” with “Why not vote for Harris then?”?
      Surely you won’t convince a Trumpologist this way.
      But doesn’t that also give leeway to present voting for Harris as equally good choice in the eyes of Trumpologists?

        Because they either value virtue signaling over actual change, or are just spreading propaganda.

        Option A:

        “I couldn’t possibly do even a single action that would make me even slightly complicit in the genocide from either side,” while spending all day campaigning for everyone to vote the same way as MAGAs want them to, “in fact, the Dems are so far right that they are literally indistinguishable from theocratic authoritarians promising to deliver a dictatorship.”

        Option B:

        “Well, he cannot do worse than this,” regarding a guy who blasted Yemen and wants to “finish the job” in Gaza, “and this will force the Dems to move left to get voters next election, after voting is abolished, they certainly won’t move rightward looking for people who will actually vote.”

    He wants to make Palestine a territory of Israel’s, like Puerto Rico is to the US. The rub is, the powers in Israel just want to wipe out the Palestinians, so I doubt they will like this plan.

    Good ole religion. Let’s end the world so our beloved Jeebus comes out of his fucking fox hole. Why can’t he just come out of it without so much pain amd and suffering to innocent people? What a fucking asshole if he were real?

      The loving Jesus depicted in the New Testament would be shot, hung, or even re-crucified by his followers if he dared show up and open his mouth. He ain’t coming back.

        The Baha’is believe he already came and went. World ended in 1844, a new one replaced it.

        Just like the world ended around 4500 BCE when The Green Sahara period and the Bronze Age Collapse happened within 200 years of each other, and some scared ass Jews wrote the Torah, inventing their entire history out of the ruins of Egypt, despite never having been there.
