I agree with this take completely. The parent comment just seemed to encourage senseless retribution without nuance, which is what I tried to voice my opposition to.

Is it? I’m not saying it’s likely, but for the sake of argument let’s say Netanyahu is voted out and a new Israeli government takes power that says, “We are tired of endless violence. We will remove all settlements, checkpoints, etc, and respect a two state solution with Palestinian sovereignty over the agreed upon Palestinian land.” Would that not be the goal, the ideal? Or would you throw that away by trying to get back at Netanyahu and all the horrible people who have committed these crimes. Maybe I’m naïve, but you can’t say that at least the aspiration should be peace. Whether that’s possible without something happening to the perpetrators of violence is another question, but the retribution shouldn’t be the end goal and aspiration, peace should be.
There can be no sustainable peace with constant retribution, I think that’s the core thing going through this conflict this last century. For example, Israel wanted “justice” for the October 7th attacks. Did that lead to a better outcome for humanity and people living in the area? No, only more war and suffering. More war, bloodshed, and retribution is not the answer, we need to break the cycle of violence.
No, let us hope peace comes to the region and the endless cycle of bloodshed ends. That may include justice for the people responsible, but our main aspiration should be peace and prosperity, not retribution.
Is it okay to bomb economic infrastructure of a sovereign nation because it doesn’t treat its women with respect? Because that’s a little ironic coming from an American.
Ok, there are two apartheid genocidal regimes, but what else have the Romans ever done for us?
Yeah but if people show up to vote in large turnout numbers, it helps with these issues.
Let’s try to not have this close an election again, cause you just know the same fuckery is gonna happen if there’s even a slight chance of Republicans getting away with it.
She’s the person who managed to be so racist that MTG called her out publically for it, which is honestly quite impressive.
Well, 9.1% less money, but yes ;)
I’m more interested in wtf is a “Devin Nunes”?? Almost gives me cow vibes, but idk.
Is this actually real? If so the brain worm thing is not even a joke anymore, they must have done some serious neurological damage because that’s messed up.
Thanks, I’ll give it a try
How did you get an invite key? I would love to get one to try it out.
If she couldn’t win the primary, how can she win the general? Not like AIPAC will just stop influencing the election.
The SpaceX rocket unfortunately isn’t powerful enough to launch anything into the sun, but yes.
Definitely, my hope is that if that doesn’t happen this time, the momentum will carry forward to the next election as well and the electorate will see that the Dems can actually make life better for people. But it’s a dream, I know that.
Yes, that’s why it needs to be a landslide, we need enough political power to actually enact change.
I really hope this is gonna be a landslide election and it’s possible for the Dems to take a page out of Waltz’ book and pass a whole bunch of meaningful legislation, which will help carry on support for the Dems next election as well. But oh well, I might be too optimistic.
To be fair, he’s also breaking Pennsylvanian lottery laws which he could be prosecuted for on a state level.
