The amount of people wanting to cozy up to the Dems now is too damn high.

what Israel actually deserves is unlimited genocide

I know theres been struggle sessions around this kind of ironic talk before, but i mean, come on, this shit is just stupid to say.

We shouldn't say it for the same reason we dont have a burning Israel flag emoji.

Israel is a settler-colonial state currently engaging in genocide (and basically has been since its creation). It should be dismantled as a state. Yes. Say that. Not this stupid ass shit you're trying to push. Its dumb and childish and will only drive people away.

How NYT chooses to report on fatah/hamas agreement:

https://www.nytimes.com/2024/07/23/world/middleeast/fatah-hamas-china-statement.html

“What happened in China isn’t significant,” said Jehad Harb, an analyst of Palestinian affairs. “There aren’t any indications that Hamas and Fatah intend to end the split between them.”

“These statements aren’t worth the ink needed to write them,” said Abd Al-Rahman Basem al-Masri, 25, a resident of Deir al Balah in central Gaza. “We’ve seen these things before and we’ve lost hope in them.”

Great example of how media tries to control narratives.

That question is like asking how is one piece of shit smellier than the other. They're both horrible.

My point is that i get the impression Harris pisses off the general electorate with her condescending tone more than Biden's genocide does. I think she'll fare worse.

They won't seriously put up Harris, will they? She's going to lose worse than Joe would've. top-cop

But who else would even want the nom at this point?
