Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage.

"Yawn." Strawman.
Buddy, listen:
Whatever happens between now and November, it doesn't change the fact that an election is going to occur in November. Furthermore, in that election Trump would be worse in quite literally every conceivable way, including for the people of Palestine / Gaza. Therefore nothing you said has any impact on my point in my comment.
Feel free to pressure Biden to do more for Palestine in the meantime; just try to comprehend that if Biden too quickly shifts to abandoning longtime support for Israel, he may ostracize an even-larger voting bloc of Jewish Americans who by the polling support Israel pretty vehemently (80%+). If you think politically he can jeopardize that group versus the smaller far-left and Palestinian segments of the population, you'd be wrong. He must toe the line between these two groups.
No matter how hard you try to shoehorn Biden being responsible for the Genocide in Gaza, as a convenient wedge-driving tactic for which right-wingers love you for -- it's not goin to work. Netanyahu is responsible. Period.
If Trump were in office right now, the fate of Gaza would've been even worse. Forget the fact that you seem 100% a-okay with Ukraine not getting any more assistance either.
Bro you are so delusional it's impossible to know where to even start. First, you the right winger here in your support of the genocide of the Palestinian people.
Second, Biden is 💯 responsible for supporting Israel in their genocide of the Palestinian people. Netanyahu literally can't do this thing without US support. Your support of Biden on this policy is a direct support of the genocide of the Palestinian people, full stop.
Being an apologist for genocide is a bad look, you should try something else.
So you've got no substantive rebuttal to my points. I'll take that as an indirect concession, thank you. Keep chanting your little game in puritanical pyrrhic victory where you shoot one's self (and Palestinians for that matter) in the foot.
Nah you just an ignorant rightwing edge lord masquerading as a leftist kid. You want to pretend that you know something about rhetoric with your disinterest in introspection but you've got a hard right stance on genocide. It's just cover for your right wing views.
"Yawn." You argue in bad faith. Weak.
Going real hard aren't ya?
Feels good doesn't it.
You are making excuses that ultimately support the genocide of the Palestinian people. That's you bruh.
The Kremlin thanks you for your service. Ukraine weeps. The Palestinians certainly is looking forward to Trump and Mike Pompeo, amirite.
😂 .
This guy. The cognitive dissonance man. It would be comedic if it weren't so tragic.
The neoliberals here are absolutely okay with genocide as long as it's their guy doing it.
Yep. Seems like it.
