Conservatives joke that progressives just blow with the wind from one controversy to the next. But I can't help but notice the anti-Biden "left" shifted hard from Genocide Joe to Bad debate Performance without skipping a beat or looking back.

Almost like the people stoking these fires don't really care about left issues at all.

You're off by a factor of four, but same idea I guess.

Not sure if you’re saying 10000x more or 10000x less people are starving, but that number seems off too. Half a million is the number I saw in an AP article from around a week ago.

I'm saying 4x. All of Gaza is being starved to death. You're probably thinking of Northern Gaza, which is where the famine is at its worst, but that's not because the rest of Gaza isn't being starved. It's just a matter of time.

Oh, I see what you mean now! ~~A factor is 10x more, that’s why I was confused about what you were saying.~~ (edit: ignore this; I am dumb) The figure I saw might have been for people in acute starvation vs severe food insecurity or something like that. I know the situation is fucking dire regardless.

A factor is 10x more

Isn't that an order of magnitude?

Shit, you’re right, I confused the two terms. Thank you for the correction!
