If you wanted us to be less blatant about it, you should've voted for us.

Example #1,354,874 of western media getting "negotiate" and "capitulate" mixed up.

It'll be just in time for Christmas.

Many such cases.

Tankies think only one thing can be bad at the same time

Meanwhile any criticism of Kamala Harris got answered with "but Trump worse tho"

You have been brainwashed. Israel is a liberal democracy, and if officials don’t adhere to the rule of law they are judged and sent to prison, just like in any other democracy. By your logic you could say the LAPD is a terrorist organization because of a few bad cops.

The LAPD is probably one of the worst examples you could have picked lmao

(easy) Failure: You're both Californians here; if he can't see how dedicated we are to justice, there's not much you can do to educate him. The core of your argument is still intact. Just keep going.

Whatever. I am not well-versed in Los Angeles political landscape. The point stands.

Preaching to the choir here, but the US has never led on this. Paris was a joke before the ink on the signatures even dried. The bedrock of our economy is fossil fuels and unless someone's willing to do some percussive maintenance on our ruli- I mean, our economy, we're stuck.

It kinda amazes me how thoroughly the dems were able to get away with selling the IRA as a climate investment, and, now that Bad Cop is back in charge, they get to pin the failures of the US to genuinely decarbonize on him.

Kinda tough to beat Occam's razor on "actually the situation is not complicated and Biden's been doing exactly what he wanted the whole time."

People don't seem really interesting in defending it, probably because they aren't coming at this issue from a place of logic; they're just mad Trump won and are trying to minimize their personal discomfort, and because there isn't really much you can argue from a pro-Biden/Harris position that has hard evidence behind it, we're stuck speculating on what might have happened based on Harris's public statements, which, to put it generously, were all over the place.

The most favorable argument I could see is that Bibi was probably deliberately preventing an agreement from being reached because he knew that it would hurt Biden with his base and Israel overwhelmingly wanted a Trump presidency. Any attempt to play hardball would've won him the ire of AIPAC and could've hurt Harris in eastern PA (hence also "fracking fracking fracking"). Stopping arms shipments might also be interpreted as a signal of weakness by Iran and Yemen and who knows what would happen then.

You could probably identify a lot of issues with this argument and I'm probably not the best one to make it, but from a personal perspective this is the best one I've seen: the Harris campaign was in a double bind and they gambled on trying up the center to convince Netanyahu that Harris was the friendliest face he was going to get and he needed to get a deal done before there were consequences.

Biden leaving the Oval Office for the last time to Hurt by Johnny Cash.

Guess we doin scorched earth now

Argue with one of these idiots and be prepared to see gold-medal mental gymnastics.

Harris wasn't Joe Biden

She said she wouldn't do anything differently

Joe Biden was working on a ceasefire. Trump is going to finish the job!

He had over a year and not only didn't get one, he kept shipping weapons. Why would you do that if you wanted a ceasefire?

Harris called for a ceasefire.

She also said her support for Israel was unconditional. How were you going to get a ceasefire if you're continuing to support the side that refuses to agree to a ceasefire?

That's fake news! She didn't actually say that.

Here it is on CN-fucking-N

You're forgetting that Hamas is a terrorist organization!

Even if it were, how do you defeat a terrorist organization by bombing refugee camps?

The law says we have to support Israel!

The law also says we can't ship weapons to states committing gross human rights violations. Quite the quandary.

If we don't support Israel, Iran would wipe them out.

Well maybe they should've considered that before doing all the terrorism and violating Iran's sovereignty by carrying out assassinations on their soil and the genocide.

Iran is a settler-colonial state. The native religion of Iran isn't Islam, it's Zoroastrianism. The Muslims are colonists!

Damn Americans really are #1 at "here's the dark side of that thing you thought was a good idea"

Yeah, I guess I'm just struggling with the hypocrisy of a society that respects the sanctity of our choices when asking us how we want to dispose of our remains but makes broad exceptions for that sanctity when it comes to the other or the marginalized and to see broad social support for those exceptions in things like the indifference to Palestinian suffering and the defeat of the initiative to outlaw prison slavery in California. Being encouraged to remember the goal of doing the most good with what we have and that we can't make the changes we need on a foundation of misanthropy has helped.

A great reminder. Thank you.

To condense my thoughts on the matter, I'm wondering about what it means to be an organ donor in a society that seems radically (and perhaps increasingly) out of step with your personal values. Is it enough to know we're providing a benefit to a few individuals or should we consider what it means to have your tissues continuing on in the world after your death?

I've been having a great time with it. All the little animated cut scenes are hilarious.

Sometimes the soup that pilots your corporeal form sloshes around in a weird way and the "fight or flight" switch gets bumped on by accident. Only there's nothing to fight and nothing to run away from so the switch just gets stuck. Hope it gets unstuck soon!
