Every time pppolitics posts it makes me wish I was a Likud-supporting Zionist. A pretty reprehensible position of course, but at least it's not nominally being on the same side as that intellectual titan.

pppolitics posts actually remind me of those idiot Boomer anti-vaxxers posting about the Covid vaccine and how that made me so proud to be vaccinated, at least they would if I was pro-Netanyahu.

Mostly no, unless the voter is completely and totally uninformed and has not taken the time to research. I might be able to see a willingly blissful ignoramus saying they just voted for the “successful businessman”.

(Of course, ten minutes worth of research proves that this charlatan was an abject failure in business. To say nothing of his moral, ethical, patriotic, or competency failures. Which are almost infinite.)

Welcome back

She's such a capital B-word without a doubt. The Secret Service and FBI need to watch her because she is a suicide bomber waiting to happen.

Ok this is going way too far. Throwing out terrorist accusations is not something that should be done casually at all and saying she should be put on an official watchlist is crazy as well.

You're just being contrary just to be contrary. She literally supports Hamas which is a terrorist group.

You can call her an Islamist Sympathizer without throwing out terrorist accusations. The latter is a crime that will get you locked up for life so you should not throw that word out casually.

Btw the Former is still very bad for an elected official and is something that 100% should get her primaried so its not a defense of her

I hardly think I can get anyone locked up just by stating an opinion.

The question is not which should be NOW (especially as some don't even exist anymore), but if any of these should've been on it at any point in the past. None of these countries ever were shockingly.

Anyway all of them met the criteria at some point.

I'm not entirely sure how anyone expected her to react differently, frankly.

Biden and the Democrats misunderstand her base. They (wrongly) believe Joe Biden is complicit in genocide. The problem with that is you can't "lesser evil" it away like most policy issues. People aren't going to vote for the person who would commit genocide even if its less than their opponent, and most would rather vote 3rd party or stay home at all. Instead of trying to paint Trump as worse on the issue, the Biden campaign needs to assure these voters that they aren't or doing anything remotely close to genocide. 

Basically this. The only thing acceptable would likely be a public repudiation of current Israeli policy in Gaza coupled with some kind of "consequence", which frankly, wouldn't be that much of a stretch at this point.

Frankly I'm nostalgic for the pre-pandemic era because smoking weed was less normalized. Call me a conservative prude if you like, personally it's more because I was addicted for three years, and it started with the pandemic. F--k man, imagine being young during a time when pretty much everything was shut down, but there's about five weed stores open on every street corner, and those of us under 30 have basically been propagandized to believe that "it's harmless" and "it's not addictive" and "it's just a plant bro". What possible outcome could that even lead to, other than a shocking increase in addiction? It was legalized in 2018, and I'm not blaming legalization for my own addiction - after all, I wasn't addicted in 2018 or 2019. The addiction began in 2020, as it did for many people. That was my vice, and around this time last year, when I was still smoking daily and couldn't fall asleep sober, yeah I was pretty damn nostalgic of a time when my life wasn't controlled by a chemical compound. Thankfully I've quit cannabis and don't plan on going back.

But that's the thing, I think a lot of people let their lives go down the drain in 2020 and still haven't recovered. So even if the economy is improving, they don't feel it because their lives haven't improved, because many of us struggled to deal with the difficulties of the pandemic and got addicted to unhealthy coping mechanisms that turn you into a pessimistic and miserable sack of s--t. As a result, you'll be nostalgic of a time when you weren't a pessimistic and miserable sack of s--t. This is a social phenomenon that is entirely ignored but I think has a much bigger bearing on the state of society in 2024 than the Biden Infrastructure bill or whatever.

Polls like in 2020.

Let me remind you that she voted against this resolution. The only member of the House to do so.

Michigan Democrat Rashida Tlaib has come under fire on social media after being the only voting member of the House not to back a resolution condemning "rape and sexual violence committed by Hamas" on Wednesday.

Yeah I would be an Alliance voter in Northern Ireland and for the idea that there's any circumstances whatsoever in which I'd vote Sinn Fein....LOL!
