It’s a complicated issue and explaining it to people who have been spending the last year consuming Iranian propaganda isn’t going to get her anywhere. People want her to say “Israel is evil” and anything other than that will have them screaming “genocide Kamala” in the same way they scream “genocide Joe.”

Yeah it’s really a no-win scenario. Probably why she’s just avoiding the subject altogether.

A lot of people have grandparents that fought against an antisemitic regime tho.

It seems odd that endorsing Carter was “understandable reasons at the time.” What were the reasons? Following the whole debacle with Nixon it made sense to endorse the guy running against the GOP? Isn’t there even more understandable reasons a this time right now?

It would make sense in any other election other than this one and the last one. Really weird choice to stop endorsing with this particular election.

Pretty sure Israel was attacked by Iranian proxies in those countries. But I’m sure there was a lot of revisionist history going on at that rally in Madison Square Gardens in 1939 too.

Nah, I’m against massacring villages which is what Hamas did. You seem to be on their side (or you at least look the other way when they commit atorcities) so you’re pro genocide. But that’s what fascist do, right? Accuse your enemies of that which you’re guilty of. Nothing you’re saying is all that original.

Well they were probably too loyal to their idiot Fuhrer. Methinks it’s the loyalty part that Trump wants.

Wow so edgy and original!

Never heard a Hamas propagandist say “actually Israel is nazi” before!

Nightsisters are kind of like vampires and porgs are kind of like pokemon. We’ve also seen zombie storm troopers, but I was kind of fine with that because it was so ridiculous I couldn’t stop laughing.

Yeah, Star Wars peaked with ESB. That’s not to say it’s all complete shit since then, but nothing in Star Wars has risen to the height it was at 44 years ago.

Having 100 clones on screen without 100 extras still looks good.

Better than having 100 extras in storm trooper costumes? I’d rather see just a dozen storm troopers over 100 CGI troopers. Quality over quantity.

They have a list of people that are registered to vote. They mark off the people on the list who have voted so they can’t vote twice. But when the person actually votes it’s done outside the sight of anyone else (sometimes behind a curtain) so no one knows who they voted for.

There was a time when there were gangs outside of polling stations that would beat the shit out of people that didn’t vote how they wanted. And considering how insane the MAGAs are, it’s not too improbable this kind of thing could happen again if it weren’t for having a secret ballot system.

Yeah a classic. For additional context, Crossfire was cancelled about a week after that and Tucker Carlson never wore a bowtie again.

Now you’re talking about CEOs as a nebulous they.

I’m talking about a CEO that said things similar to what an amazon exec said under an article about what that amazon exec said.

Also I work in software development. There has been a clear uptick in negativity towards developers where I work, which happens to be in a similar field to the one in the article.

I’ve also worked with AWS, and I can tell you for sure, they can’t afford to lose their best talent. Their system is pretty janky in many places and their boss should be putting more effort in making better software instead of playing games about forcing people to sit in a specific chair 5 days per week.

Sinwar was released in a previous deal. Then he plotted a genocide. A real genocide not the bullshit rebranding of a war as a genocide that’s a common narrative around here.

Sinwar was found and killed outside of his bunker with only two guards, probably scrounging for food. Why would Israel want to potentially release another Sinwar? Why would they want to give Hamas new reinforcements for their next attempt at genocide?

Hamas needs to surrender unconditionally. It’s over, they committed genocide, and now their cities are destroyed. But like how the Nazis continued on for another month after Hitler offed himself, they’ll probably continue on for a while longer. It can take a little time for people indoctrinated into fascist beliefs to understand they lost. They believe themselves to be supermen that can still somehow destroy the enemy even when it’s obvious to anyone else that they lost.

Did you spend a lot of time googling up some links from 10 years ago?

Zero effort to find some good old fascist violent fervor on full display in the society Hamas created. And now Gaza looks a lot like how cities in Germany looked in 1945. Only question now is whether Palestinians can move past the politics of hate like Germans did.

The CEO of Zoom explictily stated that he felt in zoom meetings people were being too “friendly” and not willing to have “debate”.

Why would it be bad for employees to be friendly? What employees want to have unfriendly debates in meetings? I think it’s just managers that want that. What kind of “debate” do managers want? Why do they not want meetings to be “friendly”? Methinks they just want to yell at employees and don’t feel comfortable doing it in zoom meetings for some reason…

The point isn’t to get the trans vote. Like you say it’s kinda a no brainer for trans people to vote for anyone running against a transphobic guy.

The point is to put out a rational response to what Trump is doing. Explain to people that might be worried about trans people that it’s just a tactic meant to distract people from the real issues.

So get people to be less scared of trans people so they’ll focus on actual issues and vote Dem.

I see you put a lot of effort into this, but Russia is pals with Iran, has hosted Hamas in Moscow. Israel has provided humanitarian aid to Ukraine from the beginning, Zelenskyy was very supportive of Israel after October 7. Israel this year has started to provide Military aid to Ukraine.

The air strikes in Syria you mention included a strike on a drone making factory. Same kinds of drones Russia uses against Ukraine. Ukrainians were largely disappointed by Israel not giving them Iron Dome tech at the time (which probably wasn’t feasible, it’s a complicated system designed to protect an area much smaller than Ukraine), but welcomed the destruction of the drone factory since those are the drones used against them.

It’s very obvious the Israel, Ukraine and NATO are in alignment on one side. Russia, Iran (and their Axis of Resistance) are in alignment on the other side. Not exactly strong allies and it’s clearly two different wars, but Israel and Russia are most certainly not friends, and Iran is supplying Russia with weapons.

Yeah because there’s a lot of ghouls that celebrate the deaths of Israelis. There would be people dancing in the streets celebrating the deaths of Israeli civilians.

When Palestinians die it’s a sad consequence of a war that rational people hope will end soon. And that’s dependent on what’s left of Hamas releasing hostages, which only they can choose to do.

But sure, keep on believing you’re on the right side of things.
