    “Sure, a lot of you are going to die but I think it would have happened either way so there’s no difference between Harris and trump.”

    Uh… Nobody’s going to die because of this particular action. They’re trying to annex settlements, which are basically already governed as Israeli territory. This is unrelated to the expansion of settlements, which is part of the status quo Harris wasn’t going to change.

    Especially when you factor in the Left’s newfound support for Palestine and that there would presumably be support to push for changing the status quo, this somehow manages to be an even dumber take.

    The left’s newfound support that the Democratic establishment has been completely ignoring? There was no changing the status quo under Harris let’s not kid ourselves.

    It’s as dumb as arguing that climate change would be the same under either President because you don’t think things will change.

    These are literally the same statement. In this case the assumption isn’t wrong, because while Harris would likely keep Biden’s policies Trump is going to change a lot of things for the worse, but if you assume that things won’t change under either administration then climate change would be the same under either president.

      This might literally be one of the dumbest things I’ve ever read.

      “Sure, things will be different but then if you assume things won’t change then they’re the same.”

      I feel dumber for having interacted with you, I’m done.

        I mean you’re the one who said “this is as dumb as saying things won’t change because I think won’t change”.
