    It’s hilarious how you talk about how simple and easy it all is when you quite clearly have no idea what you’re talking about.

    Everything you listed, the Republicans are guilty of by a far larger margin. The difference is that dems were talking about two state solutions while Trump quite literally was telling Bibi to turn Gaza into a goddamn parking lot. (And that’s just the most obvious clue you’re saying nothing of value lol)

    I especially enjoyed you attempting to mount your high horse after this piss-poor attack by mentioning the break in TOS when the OP is talking in general and is not attacking a single person. It’s okay to say “people who think x, or do y are dumb”.

    If anything, you’re the one breaking TOS:

    • Do not engage in name callingad hominem attacks, or any other uncivil behaviour. Criticize ideas, never people.

    You using the threat of TOS can be seen as ad hominem as a way to delegitimize the comment you replied to.

        Elaborate please.

        This article was about deerborn residents who are Muslim, justifying voting for trump. So these people voted for the party who did things way worse than Democrats and that’s utterly meaningless? Can’t wait to hear the response.

          Elaborate please.

          The vote-for-Biden-because-he-is slightly-better-than-trump-crowd forgot that voters have a third choice-- disengagement and apathy. Which is what happened isnt it. Reduced turnout from almost every single demographic.

          Now the Dem brand is trashed, along with the western world order, the brand of democracy itself, and the brand of the united states. All so some incompetent idiots at the DNC could take some filthy AIPAC bribes to enable a far right wing religious genocide and other obvious war crimes.

          Previous generations of dems understood that you dont win a campaign by just saying you are a centrist and stopping there. You at least pretend to be progressive during the camapign, because thats what the voters want. You need some carrot. All stick + cult of personality doesnt work. Its not exactly complicated. Canibalizing your base to reach for the mythical middle in republican territory has never turned out votes either. But the loss of the base while you reach right is obviously real.

          Thats not even taking into account that its just plain wrong, and causes people to lose trust. In the case of youth that trust might be permanenetly lost.

          Having your entire extended family disappeared over a period of a month is not significantly better than having them disappeared over a course of a day.

          That isn’t hyperbole.

          I personally know 2 people that that happened too.

          Expecting people to vote for the people that did that to them, and then getting mad at them when they don’t vote is some of the stupidest “I don’t have empathy and don’t even want to try imagining myself in their position, even though I’m going to say I did.” bullshit ever.
