Why say "the people of Gaza" when "Gazans" is right there? Is it Pentagon-speak?

    I saw a lib just now say that Trump would be worse than Biden because at least Biden is getting aid into Gaza lmao

      I'm broken record but I can't help but think libs should not be allowed to use 𝚠𝚘𝚞𝚕𝚍 + 𝚃𝚛𝚞𝚖𝚙 until after the election permanently. They should get an electric shock if they do. I too love counterfactuals but enough already for this thought-terminating cliché for libs.

      I used to not understand Adam Johnson's great dislike of counterfactuals. But I sure do now!

      At this point, the biggest difference between the Democrats and the Republicans are their ad campaigns. One says, "We melt the poor, but we feel really bad about having to melt them," while the other says, "We melt the poor, because the poor fucking deserve it."
