Why don’t you just fund efforts to have ranked choice voting across the country.

If they were serious, they would be building Party infrastructure down ballot. Taking over state houses and local government positions. Doing an every four Year presidential run doesn’t help in the slightest. The most progressive messaging that has actually made some semblance of an impact is Bernie.

Nor do they want to rescue the hostages. It’s all an excuse to carry out death. In Gaza and the West Bank.

Let them fight meme.

It's a better prediction model. There's no reasoning because it's not understanding anything you're typing. We're not closer to general ai.

Totally unacceptable but an accident so don't expect anything to change.

JFC. What a crock of shit. They didn't influence shit. This is like saying that Russia influenced Occupy Wall Street.

lol. So nothing is going to change.

Lol. Shut up.

That's a beautiful whataboutism. Didn't realize this article also discussed the moral equivalency of the mistreatment and internment Uyghurs.

Ok. My phone autocorrected "Israel" instead of a misspelling of "Israelis". But again. Never implied all or every. Nor did I write every Israeli rioted.

Dude. I have a top level comment. I wasn't responding to anyone. I responded to the article into which you read another conversation in the post. That's on you not me.

I think you have an issue with parsing words on a screen. Nowhere in what I wrote did I say every. I said Israel as a whole would look for every opportunity to level Gaza and displace the West Bank. Israelis are not in the streets protesting the IDF ripping up roads of Palestinian cities in the West Bank. They're not protesting because there are 40k dead Palestinians (possibly as high as 186k which around 8% of the population). They're protesting dead hostages.

I never said every. You're burying your head in the sand about what Israel has turned into. And don't lecture me on Israel like you have any fucking skin in the game. My grandfather was Israeli. I'm a Jewish refugee in the US. It's not bigotry to factually point out how absolutely atrocious the views of the majority of Israelis are. And how rooted in bigotry it is.

As a Jew who fled the USSR in the 1980s, I fully co-sign Norman Finklestein‘s (a Jewish intellectual and scholar on the subject who lost his family to the Nazi holocaust) assessment that Israel is a sick society.

In October, 58% Israelis polled said that Israel is using too little firepower in Gaza.

In December, they were polled and asked to what extent should Israel take into account the suffering of the Palestinian civilian population. Over 80% said to a little extent.

I’m Jewish. Go back to policing someone else.

It's important to understand that this is only because the hostages aren't returned. If every hostage was returned, Israel would be looking for every opportunity to level Gaza and further displace Palestinians in the West Bank. Israelis rioted for the right of soldiers to rape prisoners.

Edit: Israelis rioted instead of Israel.

Same experience. It can serve as a starting point but usually I have to sift through so many bad answers until something usable is made available.

Nothing I said is contradicted by bullet point 2.
