Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). 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. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

no crows will land on you, straw man.
Netanyahu is committing genocide and we are wrong to sell him weapons. Centrists will never admit this because it means that the only policy they won't abandon at the first hint of pressure is not only morally reprehensible, but also politically unpopular.
If any centrist wants to admit that supporting genocide was a mistake, I'd love to hear it. For the first time.
"Centrists will never admit this..."
centrists, and most people now, agree with both of those things, what are you talking about?
you have a non-argument.
you're trying to rile up anger by safely condemning the imaginary offenses of a vague minority that you likely belong to.
"If any centrist wants to admit that supporting genocide"
centrists don't support genocide, and if you think otherwise then you clearly don't know anything about what's happening in Palestine or in your own country.
"For the first time."
you got to read some books. articles, watch an interview or two.
If you are unaware of what's happening and what people are saying, that is your fault, not some vague political minority that you're ascribing your insecurities and ignorance to.
Selling weapons for an ongoing genocide is support. Just because you like it, that doesn't mean it's not support.
"Just because you like it, that doesn't mean it's not support."
who told you that liking things means you don't support those things?
your runarounds are bonkers and inaccurate.
slow down and organize your thoughts, they don't make no sense.
You'll pretend to have no reading comprehension skills before you will admit that supporting genocide is wrong.
you making mistakes and avoiding corrective information doesn't mean other people can't read.
you are wrong.
I didn't say you can't read. I said you were pretending to be unable to read because otherwise, you might have to admit that genocide is wrong.
"I didn't say you can't read"
cool, nobody said you did.
"you might have to admit that genocide is wrong."
If you don't think genocide is wrong, that is your issue, don't blame it on some vague "other" that you don't understand or agree with.
I have been saying all along that genocide is wrong. Go back up to the top of the thread and read. No, I guess that's too much to ask. Here:
Now pretend not to understand that.
"Netanyahu is committing genocide and we are wrong to sell him weapons."
I've already responded to that in the first comments, which part are you confused about?
The reason your replies are getting downvoted, is that everything you say comes across as a a very stupid person trying their best to sound very smart, and instead winding up looking like a clown. I would say quit while you’re ahead, but you haven’t been ahead at all yet.
Your implied confirmation that an uninformed mob as moral arbiter could not be more timely.
enjoy that bandwagon; people downvoting uncomfortable truths doesn't make them any less true.
The part where you pretended that this was the opposite of my opinion. At this point, I'm certain you're just gaslighting because you don't want to admit that the genocide you support is wrong.
again, if you support genocide, that is your own problem, don't project your violent and strange prejudices. onto others.
blaming other people for your own anxieties is an ineffective coping mechanism.
Weak.
you sound so weak because your straw men are based on demonstrably false assumptions.
Caw! Caw!
Oh sorry, I meant "Caca! Their argument is caca!"
ha, truth. they sound nuts
you'll probably notice that every person arguing against "centrists" as if they aren't centrist is very proud of their refusal to provide evidence for their arguments or read any articles refuting their mistakes.
