Well that there is a failure of Muslim leadership.

Hatred is often a self destructive thing. Not voting for Biden increases the probability that Trump will win which will be a very bad thing for Muslims in the US. So they’re willing to cause themselves harm over their hatred of Israel.

Maybe it’s time people stop listening to leaders that want to sacrifice the people they lead to make themselves look like strong men?

Yeah this is the internet and I can claim that I’m a Palestinian that thinks that Netanyahu is completely in the right. Which proves what exactly?

Also note that racism towards “Cosmopolitan Jews” was a way a certain group used as a gateway for people that weren’t willing to be antisemitic towards all Jews. But we know how that ended.

So today it’s considered to be good and correct to hate “zionist jews” by those who would normally think antismeitsm is wrong. Meanwhile in my city there’s an Israeli consullate, but the protesters don’t go there, they protest in the middle of a Jewish community, and have attempted to burn down Jewish businesses. While you’re distinguishing between “cosmopolitan zionist jews” and other jews, there are many people in the Palestinian movement who are not.

We need to stop looking the other way about what this is really about. An antisemitic movement that wants to restore the ethnic makeup of a geographic area to the way it was in a history book by the use of extreme violence. “Blood and soil”, “from the river to the sea” same shit different century.

I’m not a Jew but my grandfather fought in a war against people that did the same things the Palestinian movement is doing right now. Jews went along with the movement my grandfather fought against too, you know. So the same bullshit from a century ago and how it affected my grandfather means a bit more than your unverifiable claims about being a jew. This ain’t about you, this is about fascists trying to burn down Jewish businesses in the city I live in after my grandfather sacrificed a lot to fight against that kind of evil.

Now go on and make excuses for the violent actions of the fascists in your movement like a good useful idiot.

don’t worry we’ll just go further left in 4 years :)”

But we did. The Inflation Reduction Act was not only the most climate friendly bill in US history, it bolstered domestic green energy companies so much that Canada and Europe had to pass similar legislation to stay competitive (and keep companies from relocating).

The unfortunate fact of the matter is that Israel is going to keep killing babies, and the US president is going to support Israel, no matter who it is, for the foreseeable future.

Your choice is if you’ll willingly accept the burden and do whatever you can nonetheless to help the most people domestically and globally – or if you’ll pretend you aren’t carrying the burden, and you’re willing to throw women, black Americans, brown Americans, gay Americans, trans Americans, etc under the bus to maintain that delusion.

No matter what you do, if you pay taxes in the US, you’re funding infanticidal Israeli weapons. Democracy is shitty like that. The majority of people are uncomfortable with all the civilian deaths, but a majority still wants to fund weapons for them. Don’t like it? Grit your teeth, try to make a difference, and minimize any unnecessary support to Israel.

There will be no leftist utopia except from the labor of blood soaked hands from those who understand there’s no other choice. I can only hope that one day my kids or their kids will be able to judge me without any hypocrisy, because we successfully made a world free of these awful realities.

Our air force crews are often given one of these during combat missions. I imagine other military units use them when necessary, too. They also prescribe it to people with severe narcolepsy.

Do you know what the first legal government meth was?

Meth.

Yeah you really cut out the leg from cartels if you get rid of prohibition.

I think as long as we can positively ID a substance as coming from a safe manufacturer, it’s fine. Street products cooked up in a trailer are what need to go away. That probably means the government subsidizes drug companies to provide them at low cost.

Completely agree on everything except confiscation – which I agree is tricky. I think you confiscate anything that’s “off brand” to keep them off the streets, but that’s it. I don’t want some shitty chemist making impure drugs that cause serious harm. Those need to go. We’d need a free certified container program.

You’re right, it was wrong to make fun of an incredibly comic figure. Doing so clearly means that I’ve never voted for a Democrat and that I want Biden to lose. Certainly can’t be that I’ve consistently voted for dems in every election since turning 18 yet think their failures still deserve to be mocked. Good insight 👏

If Trump beats Biden things won’t improve for Muslims anywhere.

Anyway… tankie accelerationists are a very small minority of the electorate and probably wouldn’t vote even if Biden did everything they wanted.

If Trump wins it’s not going to be because of foreign policy. The US economy is probably going to be the top issue by far.

Lmao you underestimate the religious people in this country. Sure we have Muslims but they are far outnumbered by Christians. Christianity is a bloodthirsty religion. Their whole religion involved taking from others outside of their group. Their rules applied only to others like themselves, it was totally fine to fuck over other people. The other people are people who equate anti Israel to antisemitism and dont want to be accused of such things.

Ok. Well I’m an American Jew who’s been to Israel twice, and have been taught my entire life that it’s the promised land, and I say they’re currently war criminals.

Yet republican voters are far more dedicated to voting because the republican party makes bold promises and pushes to do them. Even if it’s as stupid as a border wall, they’ll make that promise and actually get funding for it and build at least part of it. Democrats, though, “it’s not feasible”, “it’s not possible”, “we can’t do that”, “it’s not realistic”. If democrats would show that they at least try, voters would try. No, forgiving a few billion in student loans here or there after letting the problem build up to 1.7 trillion dollars isn’t enough effort. What if instead they said “we will eliminate student loan debt completely” and then work on it, instead of hitting up low-hanging fruit like enforcing existing student loan forgiveness programs that forgive after 10+ years of interest payments?

You might have a point if the poll was asking people about race or any other sensitive topic, but people will not dress up their opinions if they don’t think they’ll get attacked for them. Nobody has their job threatened if they advocate for private health insurance companies.

Genuinely cute you think Biden of all people would even reclassify let alone decriminalize 🤣

imagine if Biden could just unilaterally make fentanyl street legal

Would clear up some problems for Hunter, at least

I doubt very much that Biden’s second term will be substantially different from his first. I will still vote for him, but only because the alternative is utter disaster.
