And you all told me the blue maga border bill that Republicans rejected was 4d chess.

    Listen, I will be voting for Biden, who is clearly worlds better than Trump. But the idea that Palestinian Americans who won’t vote for someone funding the ethnic cleansing of their own family members are “purity test” losers is…well, its a take.

      Yeah, no, if the opinion is that “This decades-long US policy of supporting a foreign country isn’t ending now, therefore, everyone in the US and in Palestine can get fucked, including me and all of my family members”, that’s not an opinion worth taking seriously.

      You can say it’s an understandable emotional reaction, but it sure as shit isn’t a reasonable one.

        What’s unreasonable is acting like not supporting the active genocide of your own people is unreasonable.

        Especially since you’re conflating genocide with apartheid.

        I have friends that have lost the ENTIRETY of their extended families, you sick fuck.

        Mother, father, sisters, brothers, cousins, aunts and uncles all murdered in a single fucking night.

        I’m pretty sure that you wouldn’t be capable of looking them in the eye and saying the same thing. Or, at least, not if you had any human decency.

        Edit: changed lost to murdered because they didn’t just mysteriously die.

          This frames voting for Biden as a white man’s burden to save Palestinians from their own emotions. Surely you see a problem here?
