Well, for one thing you could understand how terrorists like Hamas gain support and why Israel’s current prosecution of the war is likely to lead to a large ammount of radicalization. And thus, even if Hamas was destroyed; it would likely lead to a replacement of Hamas (the attack on Oct 7th, Israel response, as well…

Yeach, I don’t even like the guy. But it's as or more likely he either always held similar views and is radicalizing, or he's just another craven politician.

To be fair. Probably shouldn’t have expected smart or even coherent policies from someone who thought he heard a gunshot and chased down and threatened the first running person he saw (like even ifntheir was a shooter, people often run away).

Not sure inherently pie in the sky. And while I do agree Trump is indeed dangerous (part of why I'll most likely vote for Biden). The Democrats have trotted out similar claims for every election for what seems like forever (i.e. since I can remember (so does the GoP)). That they aren’t being overly dramatic this time…

Ah. Got ya. I thought you had meant a way to specifically vote "present". Like how congress can vote present.

Does your state have an option to vote present? That would indeed be far more effective (seeing as it implies that you actually vote and aren’t just one of the millions who doesn’t).

Those are absolutely valid points. Wasn't trying to argue they weren't.

Sorry for taking so long to get back to you. I assume they don’t see it that way.

You get people can care about multiple things, right? Like you can believe Hamas is corrupt and that carpet bombing the area isn’t the best way to prosecute the counter offensive.

“ pregnancies of Israeli women by the terrorists”
Proof of said pregnancies? I know it’s a worry (and a realistic one), but haven’t seen any actual evidence of it. Additionally, a ceasefire or prisoner exchange is likely to be the only thing likely to get them out to get abortions.

You can both support the Palestinian’s being killed and feel that Oct 7 was a horrendous thing. Not everyone does. But it is a completely holdable position.

What step is there if you keep supporting the party that claims they care about your issue(s) but does nothing about it?

I mean if you aren’t happy with the Democrats, withholding your vote is pretty much the only option. Every presidential race is run by them (and to an extent the GOP) as a run against existential destruction.

Meh. While it is a problem with the US in general. This company (from what little I know of it) seems to have billed itself as a woman owned and family friendly business. It clearly isn’t one of those things, and no point to accept it coasting on the other for good PR while fucking over it’s female employees.

Who’s whining? If I wasn’t entertained by having this conversation, I wouldn’t be.

Well the fact that he made a promise he seemed to be against completing. That’s it on his end for this thing. I’m much more annoyed at the court actively misinterpreting the law and the numerous other Democrats that were openly against it.

Do you think not protesting Biden makes Hamas more likely to lose power or become less extreme?

I obviously meant a good enough reason to anyone withholding their vote. Clearly you believe voting for Biden is the best option and not other concerns are more important than keeping Trump out of power.

I would say given the time and prodding required to get him to finally do that executive order, drug to is an appropriate metaphor.

There isn’t anything to learn. You are assuming that Trump winning is a good enough reason for people to vote for Biden. It continues to say to the party that just not being the GoP is good enough platform to win.
