Foreign policy is ironically where most dems and Republicans find the most common ground.

Well, at least it was until he-who-shall-not-be-named decided Putins cum tasted so incredibly he would never get off his knees again

Most self destructive design choice I've ever seen on a site

How the fuck are you supposed to get new users if nobody can even post!?

Dude, stop posting no-name propaganda sites like they are a source.

Fact is Hezbollah has been around since the 80s. They started as a Shia islamist militia that committed numerous atrocities during Lebanons Civil War. IT then entrenched itself in souther Lebanon and has been engaging in violence against all manner of groups since then. Including civilians. They've been rocketing residential Israeli neighborhoods for a year

We know what they are and what they believe, we know what they do, and we know why they do it. Nasrallahs lies a worth nothibg, we know what he was. Don't play dumb. A "single state" is code for an Islamic theocracy. They use the language of westerner human rights ideology to fool people like you, and it evidently works

In "a few minutes of googling" I could find anything, that really doesn't mean anything. Needless to say reputable information does exist, and you are currently not posting it.

Again, since the 80s. Trying to claim Hezbollah are anything but violent jihadists is friggin laughable.

Once you get into Leninist territory the difference between the far left and the far right blurs into meaninglessness.

Stalin made a deal to carve up Poland with Hitler

Steve Bannon cites Lenin as an inspirational figure.

Communist regimes have historical brutally repressed religious, sexual, and racial minorities.

I could continue but you get the point. People obsessed with control and domination always end up acting the same

I'm not going to bore everyone reading this and try to teach you media literacy.

It's a complex, multifaceted, situation. What is not complex or multifaceted is Hezbollahs actions. They just straight up shoot rockets at innocent people. Cmon, man. Nobody benefits from you trying to convince me, yourself, or anybody reading this that they're a bunch of secular progressive angels. They're not. Like it's not an opinion.

Just trying this put. So far it's neat but way too complicated for most users.

The margins in the swing states legitimately come down to a couple thousand votes sometimes.

Don't be stupid. Vote Kamala. If you hate for some reason fine, but it's either that or...oh dear God.

The dems will never learn a lesson if they lose, they never have

Groups like Hezbollah don't believe in human rights. They do not care if innocent people die. Their problem with Israel is not that it's oppressive, they love oppressive regimes (Iran, Russia). Hezbollah engages in assassinations in Lebanon and abroad frequently. I can go on but my point is you don't know who these people are or what they believe.

Groups like Hamas and Hezbollah believe in a borderless global theocracy. They believe in a world of public executions and state sponsored brutality against anybody who argues. They are authoritarians, human rights are western philosophical nonsense to them. Unislamic alien beliefs. They simply do not believe in equality or the sanctity of life.

Their problem with Israel is solely that Israel is Jewish.

Moment that "protest" started I knew it would last like a month tops.

Most people don't even care about third party apps.

Reddit permabanned me. I pissed off too many mods, made too many new accounts, now I guess my ip is caught in their spam filter or something. Crazy thing, I never posted anything offensive. I could be posting about playing GTA and somebody I pissed off in another thread would report me for "advocating violence", which is an autoban basically.

Add to that the "your karma is too low" or "your post doesn't include xyz" shit and the site is becoming unusable.

But I thought you had google, the fountain of truth?

Hezbollah are violent jihadists. They want to kill most people. Again, not a matter of debate. Get over it.

Biden's not going to put boots on the ground in an election year. Americans are tired of meaningless, never ending, wars and nobody in government wants to find out just how tired they actually are.

That said, yeah, Bibi is trying to save his own skin as much as anything else. US officials have been quietly complaining to the media for months about this

That's nice. You posted bullshit, I called it bullshit. I'm sure on your super deep and intricate google search you encountered proof of everything I said. Go look again.

Your opinions on Israel don't matter. Hezbollah are, again, violent jihadists. Fuck them. They want to kill me. Why would I kiss their ass like you do?

If you're too weak to beat Hilldog you'll never win against the GOP

What's "appeal"?

If the other side being absolutely fucking insane isn't itself a reason to vote dem then you're just a contrarian ass

I have, never, in my life, posted any serious encouragement of violence on reddit.

I've still been banned for it like 50 times because I pissed off a mod

I can't bring myself to mourn for people like Nasrallah. That said things are undeniably going to get a lot worse for everybody before they get better.

I don't see any indication of a reasonable end goal from Israel. They've remained uncommitted on an exit strategy from Gaza and opening a front in Lebanon rather then helping the security situation is as likely to get them bogged down in a quagmire. From what I can gather anyway they're just going balls the wall trying to eliminate as many of Iran's proxies as they can before they bow to international pressure like they historically have whenever things "escalate" too much

Wars have to end. If you go into them without an exit strategy they will backfire. Right now Israel's government seems more concerned with keeping Bibi out of jail then it does with crafting any sort of humane way out of this mess.

Cool. That's an incredibly dumb reason to start a war with a country like Israel. There's a reason Egypt and Jordan don't do that anymore.

A lot of leftists think anybody of a more moderate disposition than Mao must naturally be a republican

It's insane

Kamala is a moderate progressive. I fail to see the problem with incremental reform.

There's been no evidence of genocide. I have plenty of criticisms of the Israeli government, and if you were arguing it's indiscriminate you'd have a point. But genocide? No. We don't call Hiroshima a genocide and that was far worse than what's happening in Gaza. We don't call Dresden a genocide. We don't call shock and awe in Iraq a genocide.

Words have meaning.

It was also a correct thing to say.

Anyway, no shit a military occupation sucks. If your solution is jihadism, rape, and murder than fuck you. Israel does plenty of fucked up shit. They still shouldn't let themselves and their people die to placate fanatics and their useful idiots in the west

You didn't look very hard then

I actually have one of those stupid degrees.

Jokes on you, I was an expert all along

If your response to a disagreement about olive groves in the west Bank is to rape and murder 1200 innocent people I'm gonna go out on a limb and say you probably shouldn't get the olives

Literally nothing that has happened in the west Bank justifies what happened on 10/7. That was just sheer face to face animalism from hamas

The rate of bombing in Gaza has drastically slowed compared to the opening stages of the war. Israel can be accused of being too blase about civilian death, but there is no evidence of systematic attempts to eradicate the Arab population entirely. I have yet to see any credible evidence of anything but Israel having a disturbing willingness to kill 10 to get 1, if you get me. That's horrific enough, you don't need to exaggerate it by calling it genocide. There's plenty of legitimate enough concerns about Israel's bombing campaign without resorting to sensationalism.

Huge, huge, difference between not caring if you hit the next building by accident in an otherwise precise airstrike, and rounding up and killing them all. You should account for the inherent destructiveness of modern urban warfare also. Go on google earth and look at what the Russians did to cities in East Ukraine. Just because something is horrible, tragic, awful, doesn't make it a genocide. It is impossible to fight a war against an entity like Hamas and not have innocent people hit in the crossfire. Israel is in an unwinnable position in that sense. It either lets hamas terrorize it's population, or it fires back and risks killing innocent people.

It's a complex situation is what I'm getting it. Let's not pretend it's anything else to suit some juvenile good/bad narrative

I'm not going to get into the internal politics of the UN or the shit track record when it comes to accuracy that the activist wing has. Fact is you and me both know you can find a source that says anything you want. It's irrelevant and boring on top of that. I'm not doing homework for you.

I gave you a couple paragraphs explaining my reasoning. Now if you want to talk about that then fine

A TV poll is a nothing burger

The reality is whenever this gets brought up in public the conservatives win. This is why liberals almost always avoid giving yes or no answers in public (no really, watch the debate later. Tim Walz will give not a single meaningful policy specific. Why? Because Americans hate that shit and he knows it)

Not trying to come off like a prick, but it is true most leftists I speak to really don't understand how unpopular they are with most of the voting public. We live in a largely conservative country, and that includes a lot of liberals. Most people have a viscerally negative reaction to 90% of what comes out of the far left, never mind when it comes to voting

1 more...

Let me put it this way: the kind of idiot voting for Stein is not a big enough demographic that they're worth pissing off everyone else

If they would OTHERWISE vote dem maybe. But you clearly don't give a shit and never considered that a possibility anyway. The dems will never find a candidate to satisfy everyone, never mind an otherwise irrelevant fringe of socialist college students

You live in a grimdark dystopia with no hope. Your choices are shit or slightly more manageable shit. Pick one
