US Politics Thread

There you go with the insults when you run out of reason. You know all your politicians are happy to sit back and see Palestinians butchered, but still need to pretend your cherished democrats are better. Cultish - and no, that's not a spelling mistake.

No, I disagree with you and thought your comparison was stupid. It’s not a personal insult to call your stupid fucking comparison stupid. It’s merely a recitation of fact. Nor is it an insult to say you don’t really give a fuck what happens in Palestine. I may be wrong, but I’m not insulting you - it’s my observation based on the preponderance of the evidence having read your posts for many years.

But call them insults if you like.

That's exactly the point I'm making. Foggy has got all sweaty again because I dared imply both sides are indifferent.

If you’d said what he said was stupid you would have. But you didn’t. Nor did you criticiz(s)e that stupid vast generaliz(s)ation by the tweeter in question.

Why is that I wonder?

Because it's blindingly obvious. As it is also blindingly obvious that both the democrats and republicans are content to standby and either actively assist or passively observe the slaughter. At least the maga loons are honest about it.

Oh. So you agree that Palestinian babies are innocent and that generaliz(s)ing about "Americans" per that tweet is stupid. After all, it's "blindingly obvious."

So then what have you to say about your generaliz(s)ation that "all your politicians are happy to sit back and see Palestinians butchered?"

It's doesn't appear obvious to me because I tend to think the issue is far more nuanced and, with all due modesty, I've probably spoken with more of them than you too.

Or maybe you have some proof that each and every one feels that way. Or each and every Democrat. Or that a Democrat used those precise words, or even simply the words that the one particular GOP guy in question did.

Certainly a working majority on both sides of the house seem to be. Forgive me if I've missed the democrat condemnation of the genocide or block on arms sales.

bulldozers.

The UK's response has been pathetic but they have done more, 30 of 350 export licences suspended.

Yes, I'm aware of our own token effort. It must be annoying and slightly inefficient in terms of wasted ammo to have to shoot Palestinians rather than just bury them alive with bulldozers.

Ohhhhh . . . now it's a "working majority." Funny how that's changed from "all."

Re. Tlaib condemned it. She's a Democrat. Guess that's not all then.

Now let's turn to the other comment about my "precious Democrats" (from the guy who voted for Reagan, Bush 1 and Romney, but whatever) who, by the way, I have never once defended on this topic -- ever. (Saying Biden and many other US politicians of both stripes are in a tough spot given the import of their pro-Israel constituencies -- which I have done -- is not the same).

Where do I stand on the issues here? Obviously you already know so I'll let you wax poetic.
