Or he could be leading by 4 points.
Edit: 3 points. I guess I struggle with addition now D:
After reading I now appreciate David Gerard’s dedication.
Sometimes I upvote/downvote posts and comments on accident while scrolling… I might be giving people too much credit though.
I don’t think she’s the Disney in charge.
Trump is a legitimate threat to democracy.
So shouldn’t we send literally anybody else? Isn’t Biden’s approval rating sub 40%?
I agree with lesser evil voting and harm reductuon, but we’re not voting yet. They can maybe run somebody who might not throw the election.
When you’re as old as the pope setting up a website seems like a miracle.
But what if the person on the other side was parked over the line and I had to leave space to get out and then they left and now I look like I parked like an asshole and then some asshole uses that as an excuse to ding my car.
It is, but she’s turning 68.
I don’t wash my butthole because it’s dirty. I don’t want to touch that thing.
It’s too late for me to start.
Edit: I do wash my butthole. Don’t worry about me too much.
I’m not falling for that officer.
A lot of lighter fluid and a lighter works great too!
Goodbye stickers!.. and house…
For thousands of years there have been people who told us things can’t go on like this.
Another reply pointed out that even if it’s true you have nothing better to do than try. Those in power benefit from our defeatist attitudes. I don’t blame you though. Shit looks grim.
The Geneva Convention’s definition of genocide. “… any of the following acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnic, racial, or religious group, such as: (a) Killing members of the group; (b) Causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group; © Deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part; (d) Imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group; (e) Forcibly transferring children of the group to another group.”
You seem to defend a and b as necessary costs of doing business. Isreal’s frequent attacks on civilians, journalists, medical personnel, and humanitarian groups seem to conflict this. Look into the killings of clearly marked journalists.
I’d argue that c is met by Isreal’s control of Gaza’s water and power along with the targeting of hospitals.
The Geneva Convention on collective penalties. “No protected person may be punished for any offense he or she gas not personally committed. Collective penalties and likewise all measures of intimidation or of terrorism are prohibited.”
Gazans not having access to clean water and electricity at the hands of an oppressor is going to radicalize people against that oppressor.
I would like to reduce the casualties of Palestinian and Isreali citizens as much as possible. To come down harder on Palestinian civilians for the actions of Hamas is to send more people into the arms of Hamas.
Learn from the actions of the US post 9/11. The increase in terror attacks against US civilians was a consequence of US foreign policy. Isreal is not trying to have a humanitarian presence. Isreali people are hurt by the consequences of these oppressive policies.
Again, I am not justifying the actions of Hamas. Discussing the reasons for their actions is not an endorsement. If you want to stop systemic issuess you have to look at the root causes.
It’s a “fairy tale” to think that increasing the oppression that created extremists in the first place is going to suddenly stop radicalizing people.
Plenty of that money has gone to killing Palestinian children. We need a more equitable distribution of resources if we’re sending money over. I don’t think we need equal amounts of rockets, but aid and a cease fire. If you don’t trust the channels that money will go to that’s what we have 3rd party humanitarian groups for.
You can think Hamas is evil. That wasn’t my point. What do you think makes normal people turn into the types of people that join Hamas?
Do you want to reduce the amount of serial killers? You reduce the amount of abusive upbringings.
Do you want to reduce the amount of extremists?
In 2020 the US gave Isreal $3.8 billion. If you think Hamas is nearly as funded you’re bad at math. I’m down to give Hamas an iron dome.
Do you think the effort is going towards tunnels and rockets because they’re inherently evil or do you want to think about the variables that caused this situation. Variables like apartheid, genocide, Israel’s military advantage, etc.
There is a difference between doing something and doing war crimes.
Something doesn’t need to include callous indifference to the killing of civilians and children.
Leave language alone motherfuckers not speaking in Old English. smh
