Omar says Israel policy divisions won’t stop her from supporting Biden in November

Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) said policy differences toward Israel between her and President Biden won’t stop her from supporting him in the November general election.

“Of course,” Omar said Tuesday, when asked by CNN’s Abby Phillip on “NewsNight” whether she would vote for Biden if the election were held that day, in a clip highlighted by Mediaite. “Democracy is on the line, we are facing down fascism.”

“And I personally know what my life felt like having Trump as the president of this country, and I know what it felt like for my constituents, and for people around this country and around the world,” Omar continued. “We have to do everything that we can to make sure that does not happen to our country again.”

Sure, try arguing when was the last time third party has made a dent, and by what percentage. Cure my supposed historical illiteracy please.

>Sure, try arguing when was the last time third party has made a dent

the prohibition party got an amendment passed

Ooh, wow, a party no one heard of, and are you talking about 1919? And this has nothing to do with vote percentage?

Color me shocked and amazed by your argument.

this is called a "horse laugh" fallacy or, formally, an appeal to ridicule

Did you know that I pointed out issues with your arguments? So, address them.

>Did you know that I pointed out issues with your arguments?

no. you raised irrelevant objections.

Then, explain it if that's the case.

what's the point?

i don't believe you're open to learning anything here. anyone who is reading this conversation can easily make up their own mind about who's right.

Other people reading the room is precisely why I am with you in the room now. I'm not doing this to change your mind.
