A community for everything related to Palestine and the occupation currently underway by the occupying force known as Israel.
Anti-Zionism is not anti-Semitism. Existence is resistance for Palestinians.
Please refer to Israel as Occupied Palestine, or occupied territories. The IDF is a fascist and ethnonationalist occupying force. Israelis are settlers. We understand however that the imperial narrative (which tries to legitimise Israel) is internalised in the imperial core and slip-ups are naturally expected.
We always take the sides of Palestine and Palestinians and are unapologetic about it. Israel is an occupying power whose "defence force"'s (note the contradiction) sole purpose for existing is to push Palestinians out so they can resettle their rightful land. If you have anything positive to say about Israel we do not care.

Faithless electors are weird, because SCOTUS allows states to enforce laws that replace faithless electors, but some states choose to count the vote anyways. It's a whole mess and has its own NATOpedia article.
So, you'd have to get 270 faithless electors consisting only of states that do not void the votes... all for the FBI to assassinate the candidate who meets the constitutional requirements to be president that you've managed to get them all to agree to.
Ah, yeah that's a whole 'nuther problem. Comes after the initial problem of actually getting those 270 in their seats and to vote in unison.
Damn, that's true. so many problems with that idea haha!
