How can they give them greater reign than Biden?
Very easily?

You are inferring that he's going to be much more dangerous than his previous 4 years but haven't explained how or why that will happen.
Why will another 4 years this time bring about the end of democracy?
Because he did a lot of damage in the first 4 years, has changed the makeup of the people he is bringing in, has announced that he intends to do so and is gathering the resources to do so, and no longer feels he needs the support of people who are more ambivalent about the goal than last time.

Are you not even paying attention to the election?
Do you read history?

That's a bizarre interpretation of what I said, I didn't infer Americans were experiencing genocide at all, only that your comment made it sound like you think the people who don't support your views are inferior.
You literally said, "In your view genocide is happening to people whose understanding of politics is 'incredibly shallow'," and we are talking about American voters.
How else do you want me to interpret it?

Yet I represent those 80% of Biden supporters whose understanding is 'incredibly shallow' in your own view.
No, you don't represent them.
You have very specific views about politics and how they work.
That 80% you claim to "represent" don't all agree on the whole rest of the package here.
That's not how politics work and the fact you think it does is exactly what I'm talking about.

You don't seem to think that your views might be either shallow, uninformed or just out of touch here.
Because they aren't.

Politics are very personal, we all build our own models of the world in our mind and those models include how you think politics work and how you think you need to work through them.
Yes.
And some of those models are very wrong.
Just objectively wrong about what actually happens.

If you work from a model that says your understanding is superior to all of MAGA and 80% of dems that looks to others as more of a comment on your views of your own abilities than an objective view of politics and the situation.
It's a good thing I don't work from a model that says that, then, isn't it?

Your willingness to support genocide does not make you look 'incredibly deep' to me, it just says you have no moral limits to what you will support than any MAGA supporter. It says to me that you'll back corruption/evil in some form to retain power, which is the exact criticism you use on MAGA.
Yes.
I know you don't understand.
It's very clear and I'm not going to waste time educating you.

Very easily?
What, with nukes?
Considering the protests through the US and world for this level of support of genocide, how much further do you really think rump could go?
Gaza is already a death camp.


Because he did a lot of damage in the first 4 years, has changed the makeup of the people he is bringing in, has announced that he intends to do so and is gathering the resources to do so, and no longer feels he needs the support of people who are more ambivalent about the goal than last time.

The US survived 4 years of rump once. Rump is fully senile right now and has removed all competent people around him.
Biden will most likely lose the election through his personal choice to go against the will of his own party and become Genocide Joe.
You know it, I know it and trying to convince me to change my mind and won't make me suddenly become american so I can vote for Biden.

You literally said, "In your view genocide is happening to people whose understanding of politics is 'incredibly shallow'," and we are talking about American voters.
How else do you want me to interpret it?
Check the thread, you brought up the argument that people who refused to vote for Biden had 'incredibly shallow' understanding of politics.
I did say 'real' ceasefire but you said 'incredibly shallow' along with arguing that its 'pragmatic' to support genocide to keep rump out of office.

No, you don't represent them.
You have very specific views about politics and how they work.
That 80% you claim to "represent" don't all agree on the whole rest of the package here.
That's not how politics work and the fact you think it does is exactly what I'm talking about.
80% of dems supported a ceasefire for the last 5 months, as far as I know those numbers haven't moved much if at all.
On this board you might argue that klatuu or kautliya represent their views better than mine, but its moot.

Because they aren't.
Yes.
And some of those models are very wrong.
Just objectively wrong about what actually happens.
It's a good thing I don't work from a model that says that, then, isn't it?
Three answers towards claiming that your model of the world is superior to those of the 80% of dems who support ceasefire.
As I said, your views ring of ivory tower superiority. You've read the books and papers so therefore can't be wrong.


Yes.
I know you don't understand.
It's very clear and I'm not going to waste time educating you.
That's a MAGA like answer.

You push a model of the world where you are arguing that supporting evil for the greater good is 'pragmatic'.
The MAGA justification that all politicians are corrupt so therefore you might as well back someone corrupt if he says he's on your team is what you claim to be the Wilhoit Law, bind others, protect yourself.
But your model is pushing the Wilhoit law that its acceptable that the law doesn't protect Palestinians as long as it can then bind MAGA.

Which labels you as part of the 'corporate' or 'realistic' side of the dems, or as pushing conservative values.

I'm just arguing that we find a way that the law binds both sides equally.

Didn't you post Kushner saying how Gaza would be good to build on and lovely property - all you have to do is drop all the people living there into the desert?

The US survived 4 years of rump once. Rump is fully senile right now and has removed all competent people around him.
Exactly.
It's incredibly fucking dangerous.

Biden will most likely lose the election through his personal choice to go against the will of his own party and become Genocide Joe.
You know it, I know it and trying to convince me to change my mind and won't make me suddenly become american so I can vote for Biden.
I'm not trying to convince you that Biden's handling of the Gaza situation hasn't been bad both morally and for his election chances.
I'm trying to convince you that "punishing Biden" by aiding a Trump victory accomplishes none of the goals you claim to want.
I get that you find that frustrating, but lying to yourself that it will be fine with Trump is dangerous.
And sure, it will for you probably. The direct effects on Canadians day to day won't be immediately terrible.

Check the thread, you brought up the argument that people who refused to vote for Biden had 'incredibly shallow' understanding of politics.
Yes.
And you said they were being subjected to genocide.
Which was fucking weird.

But yes, refusing to vote for Biden for those reasons means you have an incredibly shallow understanding of politics, more specifically the political structure of the US.

I did say 'real' ceasefire but you said 'incredibly shallow' along with arguing that its 'pragmatic' to support genocide to keep rump out of office.
It's pragmatic to vote for Biden to keep Trump out of office.
That you think this is specifically and primarily a vote in support of genocide is because you have a shallow understanding of politics.

80% of dems supported a ceasefire for the last 5 months, as far as I know those numbers haven't moved much if at all.
Yes, but you yourself have said you are against a ceasefire if it isn't a "real" ceasefire.
And "supporting a ceasefire" is not the same as your entire political view on the situation, obviously.

Three answers towards claiming that your model of the world is superior to those of the 80% of dems who support ceasefire.
As I said, your views ring of ivory tower superiority. You've read the books and papers so therefore can't be wrong.
No.
I've dealt with actually doing politics.

That's a MAGA like answer.
LOL!
That's funny.

You push a model of the world where you are arguing that supporting evil for the greater good is 'pragmatic'.
The MAGA justification that all politicians are corrupt so therefore you might as well back someone corrupt if he says he's on your team is what you claim to be the Wilhoit Law, bind others, protect yourself.
But your model is pushing the Wilhoit law that its acceptable that the law doesn't protect Palestinians as long as it can then bind MAGA.
Well that's adorably incoherent.

Which labels you as part of the 'corporate' or 'realistic' side of the dems, or as pushing conservative values.
Much like Butler, that you think this is an effective attack doesn't show you in the best light.

I'm just arguing that we find a way that the law binds both sides equally.
No you're not.
You're arguing that magic ponies will fix everything and you're very upset that I keep pointing out that there are no magic ponies.

Jackson Hinkle, a self-proclaimed “pro-Russian American patriot Marxist-Leninist” grifter has generated thousands in profits by capitalizing on the tragic events of the October 7, 2023 massacre in Israel. He has been appropriately labeled a Putin and Hamas enthusiast and has faced bans from WhatsApp, YouTube, Paypal, and Twitch for spreading misinformation. Despite these bans, he has gained notoriety as one of the most viral users on X/Twitter.

Hinkle, who alleges that he has been silenced by a “corrupt cabal of elite leadership,” turned his attention to Twitter to spew his misinformation. On the morning of October 7 he had 417,000 followers; since then, his audience has surged to 2.3 million. Capitalizing on his newfound popularity, he offered a premium subscription to those supporting his mission to “DEFEAT THE ZIONIST LIES.” His content has garnered significant profits from advertising, largely attributed to support from Hamas and its sympathizers.

On social media Hinkle openly discusses dangeours conspiracy theories and produces anti-Israel and antisemitic propaganda on an extensive scale. In a post that garnered over five million views, Hinkle claimed that Israel lied about the October 7 events. He asserted that only 900 people died, half of whom were Israeli soldiers. He denied gruesome details, stating that babies were not beheaded, and Israeli soldiers were respectfully taken to morgues by Hamas. Hinkle claims he used his data from an investigation from Haaretz. The reputable news source quickly shut down this lie.


Hinkle has also falsely claimed that video footage depicted Israel bombing hospitals, only to later delete the post when it was revealed that the footage was from an infirmary in Aleppo dating back to 2016.

Furthermore, Hinkle shared footage of a Palestinian prisoner alleging that his arms were broken in an Israeli prison, a claim promptly debunked as false. Additionally, he drew inappropriate comparisons, likening a photo of IDF members to Hamas terrorists as equivalent to ISIS executing Christians.


Hinkle has also established connections with white supremacist figure Nick Fuentes, a former ‘Antisemite of the Week.’ Fuentes came into the spotlight after he became the campaign manager for our 2022 ‘Antisemite of the Year’ Kanye West.

Adding to the controversy, Hinkle sells merchandise on his website under the name “Zionist Tears” – a product that perpetuates and profits from antisemitic sentiments. In his pursuit of promoting his Jew-hating rhetoric, Hinkle actively campaigns and raises funds through GiveSendGo.

StopAntisemitism needs YOUR help to report Jackson Hinkle’s social media posts that are false and flagrant. Please report the following accounts and help stop the spread of Hinkle’s antisemitism: Instagram, Twitter and GiveSendGo.

Didn't you post Kushner saying how Gaza would be good to build on and lovely property - all you have to do is drop all the people living there into the desert?
Were you unaware of the recent protests at a synagogue over potential land sales in the occupied territories?
Are you unaware of the conferences for land sale in Gaza that have already happened during the genocide?
This is already happening.

Exactly.
It's incredibly fucking dangerous.
Yes, which is why its upsetting that Biden will have to lose the election to end genocide.

I'm not trying to convince you that Biden's handling of the Gaza situation hasn't been bad both morally and for his election chances.
I'm trying to convince you that "punishing Biden" by aiding a Trump victory accomplishes none of the goals you claim to want.
I get that you find that frustrating, but lying to yourself that it will be fine with Trump is dangerous.
And sure, it will for you probably. The direct effects on Canadians day to day won't be immediately terrible.
I'm trying to tell you that Never Again means Never Again.
Backing genocide isn't just doing a little bad for the greater good, its backing genocide.

Yes.
And you said they were being subjected to genocide.
Which was fucking weird.
You think I said dems were suffering genocide?
That's weird.

But yes, refusing to vote for Biden for those reasons means you have an incredibly shallow understanding of politics, more specifically the political structure of the US.
Your moral supremacy in defending the power 'practical' side of the dems over the progressive, vote winning side, is part of the problem of US politics.
Stating you will be 'pragmatic' and support a little genocide, massive corporate lobbying and the side of the party that you don't agree with in order for the greater good of not letting rump in power is why the US system is fucked.

It's pragmatic to vote for Biden to keep Trump out of office.
That you think this is specifically and primarily a vote in support of genocide is because you have a shallow understanding of politics.
That you think Biden has lost support only because of the genocide shows you have a shallow understanding of the issues.


Yes, but you yourself have said you are against a ceasefire if it isn't a "real" ceasefire.
And "supporting a ceasefire" is not the same as your entire political view on the situation, obviously.
My views aren't that radical. Stop the genocide through a ceasefire, apply international law to both sides, end apartheid and implement equal rights.
You would think those are cornerstones of democracy more than 'support a little bad to get my guy in power'.

No.
I've dealt with actually doing politics.
LOL!
That's funny.
Well that's adorably incoherent.
Much like Butler, that you think this is an effective attack doesn't show you in the best light.
No you're not.
You're arguing that magic ponies will fix everything and you're very upset that I keep pointing out that there are no magic ponies.
D, at best. You didn't answer the question and misinterpreted the points.

You do know that the dems are split, you don't agree with Cory's take on the pizzaburger split between progressives and corporate dems but you do think supporting the progressive side is backing magic ponies.

Butler wants to burn the system down in the hopes that the boogaloo bois types build his socialist utopia in the ashes.
I just want the progressive side of the dems, the side that actually wins the votes, to gain power through taking support away from the corporate side.

Your view is that the US will end if rump gets back in power, my view is you play the long game to try to fix the system.
