The situation in Gaza is not supported by us.

But it is. It is supported by Biden. Biden is protecting Netanyahu at the United Nations, as well as supplying money and weapons.

Biden could stop what’s happening with a phone call.

But he won’t do anything unless there are electoral consequences. That’s politics, and Biden is a politician.

If she’s not willingly a Russian agent, she’s still very pro-Russia.

If the only anti-genocide candidate in this election is a Russian agent, then I guess I’m voting for the Russian.

No.

I was adding to my previous thought.

I think Democrats forget this, but the Democrats need the votes of independent voters to win.

Of course, people in this sub don’t believe that independent voters exist. You’re either “vote blue no matter who”, or you’re a Russian agent.

You know, Democrats should try appealing to anti-war voters instead of accusing them of having hidden agendas.

I think Democrats forget this, but the Democrats need the votes of independent voters to win. Appeal to them. Don’t insult them.

I remember when Hillary accused Tulsi Gabbard (who built her brand on being anti-war) of being a Russian agent. How well did that go for Hillary?

Even if Gabbard was a Russian agent, it does not inspire anti-war voters when you say that the only anti-war candidates are foreign agents. (I’d be like “well I guess I’m voting for the Russian then”.)

Unless, of course, the real motivation is as a spoiler candidate.

You're honestly just driving me away from Harris.

They said why. You quoted it.

One side literally wants to end voting, destroy the Constitution, and install a fascist regime

And the other side just supports that in occupied Palestine.

Further, is it really that hard to grasp that in our stupid electoral system the choice is between either Trump or Harris

Voting third-party is also a choice.

Trump is literally going to put the most evil anti democracy zealots into very powerful roles.

And if Harris continues to support what Israel is doing in Gaza, then we already have evil anti-democracy zealots in our most powerful roles, so what's the difference?

Because the Biden administration is the one committing genocide in Gaza. Not the Trump administration.

Is that too hard for you to understand?

Where's the lie, though? This is 100% accurate.

Hey Democrats, if your voters have concerns about your record on Gaza, then try to do better on Gaza. That's how this democracy thing is supposed to work.

Accusing your critics of being Trump-supporters is not a winning strategy. I thought you would have learned this by now.

Yeah, it's not actually very ambiguous. It's more confusing than ambiguous.

If you ask if the government in Taipei is the legitimate government of China, the USA will say no.

If you ask if Taiwan is an independent country, the USA will say no.

But if you ask if Taiwan is part of China, the USA will avoid answering, even though that's the only option left.

From 1945 to 1971, China was represented at the United Nations by the government in Taipei, with almost universal recognition. It would be very odd for any country to say that Taipei (and hence Taiwan) was not part of China at that time.

And if Taiwan was part of China from 1945 to 1971, surely it must be part of China now, because there have been no significant political changes in China since then.

Both the government in Beijing and the government in Taipei recognize Taiwan as being part of China. Each government claims to be the rightful government of all of China, including Taiwan. (However, the government in Taipei only has effective control over Taiwan and a few islands, while the government in Beijing has control of the mainland.)

Since 1979, the USA has had a policy of "strategic ambiguity" where they do not say that Taiwan is part of China, but they clearly recognized Taiwan as part of China up until then, and they have not made any statements changing that position.

Yes.

Not a single government (not even Taiwan's government) has ever said that Taiwan is not part of China.

I understand why you'd think otherwise if you get your understanding of the situation from online discourse. But here's the thing: Most online discussion is coming from people who don't know what they're talking about.

So more people are considered high risk than what you said.

Hmmm. I thought she was going to look for a Palestinian running mate.

I wonder if she couldn't find one.

Because Nato should have been dismantled after the Cold War?

The Warsaw Pact was dismantled. Why wasn't Nato?
