And now we're too the any criticism of Biden means they're for Trump. Way to get 2 in one there.
Plus still haven't seen your source on how the entire Jewish population in the country are okay with Israels handling of Palestinians and the whole genocide they're doing.
Well then my mistake; for sure: Be critical of Biden all you want. I don't agree with you on what's strategically better for ensuring his reelection but so be it.
All I care is that you vote for Biden in November. Anything short of that is equivalent to being for Trump.
Also, my bad - it was from another comment chain here:
There are 7.6 million Jewish Americans who still heavily lean in support of Israeli actions.
And progressives who, being the most informed part of the electorate, know damn well if Trump gets in then it's orders-of-magnitude worse for the Palestinians.
... But hey, just one legit (or illegitimate false-flag) terrorist attack post-revocation of aid to Israel — and tell me, what happens to Biden and Democrats' chances then...?
Got it you just don't like people pointing out Bidens flaws.
In total, 1,941 Jewish and 414 Muslim respondents participated in this survey.
I mean yeah totally fair to use it as representative population but not like pew research is the best, or polls have been very accurate in the last few years.
And again you can't say
7.6 million Jewish Americans who still heavily lean in support of Israeli actions.
When thats more than the entire population in the states (and surprisingly more than the population of Israel)
Finally let's suppose all of the Jewish people are going to be mad at Biden for stopping support of Israel due to them committing genocide, who would they vote for? They'd have the same issue as everyone else and have to bite their tongue and vote for Biden.

At this point who cares about Israel? It's clear they aren't making Jewish people safer, and those who would participate in the election are Americans
Got it you just don’t like people pointing out Bidens flaws.
Incorrect. I just don't like people shooting themselves in the foot or having tunnel-vision without seeing the bigger picture.

hahahah what the hell are you saying? You think PEW is flawed? Do tell how. Do you even understand how statistics work? I bet you didn't even look at their methodology let alone MoE.
When thats more than the entire population in the states (and surprisingly more than the population of Israel)
Who cares? Whether it's 6.7 million "by some estimates," or 7.6 million "by some estimates." — that in no way changes my point, but good on you for digging in the weeds out of complete irrelevance.

Well now we've come full-circle. The same question can be posed to Biden by his staff by asking, "What will tankies and the left do, vote for Trump? Not vote? Vote 3rd party? See how that worked out for their agenda when literally every progressive advancement came on the backs of the Democratic party and every reversal thereof came from Republicans." So between the two groups, which will Biden choose to risk less, the bigger voting population, or the smaller voting population?
Unfortunately there are a lot of swing-voters out there, too, who haven't had their minds made up. Until they fall into a camp, the Biden administration is going to toe the line to ensure such voters are still reachable.

Not talking about Israel. I'm talking about the relentless propaganda campaign about, "How Biden is an antisemite and jeopardized the safety of Jewish people of Israel by taking away their self-defense." This would be repeated across all right-wing outlets, not to mention the massive amount of foreign interference that is already occurring by Israeli and Russian operatives.

appeal to ridicule
Blatant straw-men have already occurred with me; in my view the door is open. I have no problem dishing back what was already served. If they want to dial it down, then I shall treat them with the utmost respect but these, "Got it. You just don't x." responses are tiresome. Of all the things you could hit me for, I believe this is pretty light but I'll own it as a fallacy.
these, “Got it. You just don’t x.” responses are tiresome
Are you okay?
another appeal to ridicule? can't you just accept that it takes two to tango, and you are actively making this place worse?
No seriously, are you okay? It does not, in fact, take two, lest you seek one person to run their mouths and the other to just take it. So unless you're suggesting we enable bullying without pushing the bully back or fallacies without objection, I'm not really sure what the point is that you're making.
So kindly explain your thought-process when you respond with simply re-quoting what I said and nothing more; for overall I think my comments remained largely neutral, barring the low-hanging fruit you identified and which I even acknowledged.

i was pointing out the hypocrisy
What's hypocritical about noting, "these, 'Got it. You just don’t x.' responses are tiresome"? Do you not recognize the obvious snarkiness and straw-man fallacy? Are you saying I'm not allowed to call this out?
And why are you replying multiple times to the same comment instead of just consolidating your response into one?

i'm saying you are doing teh same thing, and you're right that they are exhausting, so you should also knock it off.

i don't like to have multiple ideas in one comment, and i have found it's an excellent tactic for breaking up a gish gallop. you can read more here:

Is this even remotely supported by polling data?
The answer is no, it really is not
There are 172,000 Palestinian Americans.
There are 7.6 million Jewish Americans who still heavily lean in support of Israeli actions.
And progressives who, being the most informed part of the electorate, know damn well if Trump gets in then it's orders-of-magnitude worse for the Palestinians.

i'm saying don't use dishonest rhetoric
I'm fine with that; just make sure you go to the other user in the thread and say the same thing.
Did you do that?
Did you tell them as well that, "it takes two to tango"?
Curiously you did not.
do you think they would be more willing than you to stop engaging dishonestly?
i asked you to be the bigger person.
