You can't get GI through spicy autocorrect ? 😱

Young democrats are probably the ones least likely to fall in line.
Honestly at this point anybody who needs Trump not to win should be organising their life as if he already has and will come into office next January.
You'd think a guy with a lifetime in politics would understand optics better than this.
Why are you getting into weird hypotheticals? If it's a republican, it will be Trump. If it's not, because he straight up dies, they'll still be the same voter base: a voter base which isn't going to accept boots on the ground.
"Pressuring" Israel has done precisely fuck all, which is my point. Because by "pressuring" you mean "asking nicely".
And you're right: a republican wouldn't be different. That's what I'm saying.
I merely disagreed with your proposal in detail and asked you to defend it if you were so convinced of it.
So you're just strawmanning me? Because at no point have I made a "proposal".
What position do you want me to defend? So far my position has been that the US should be doing more to apply pressure to Israel.
How do you disagree with that WITHOUT taking the stance that any other action would lead to a worse outcome?
Pointing out that cutting our nose to spite our face is a bad policy
Again, what is this hypothetical cutting of the nose?
If you say that doing anything more than what the US is currently doing will "do worse than fuck all", how is that not an endorsement of that policy? You're saying it's the best option.
My guy you're literally saying there's no solution that isn't worse than doing what the current administration is doing, which is more or less nothing.
That's not a straw man. That's just restating your argument at you.
You're right there's absolutely no solution remotely possible, and that justifies the complete lack of even trying anything spicier than "Bibi pls"
I don't care about the weapons. Israel obviously doesn't need more weapons to finish their genocide.
It's just pretty obvious that you don't make a real effort to prevent a state completing it's genocide before you stop supplying them with arms.
You think they've actually tried? Given that they're still supplying weapons to them?
Israel doesn't need any support past the US preventing the UN from actually doing anything concrete, which is exactly what the Biden administration is giving them.
With the exception of airdropped supplies into Gaza, which other countries are also doing, and that hasn't been enough to prevent famine, what would Trump even do to make things worse?
Committing US assets to a war in the middle east is one of the three things Trump's voter base won't actually support.
Apparently not, given the content of this article
