This US veteran said his analysis is Israel is doing less to avoid harming civilians than US operations

Include an emoji, some people on the forum can take it seriously if it isn’t clearly a joke.

Jamaal Bowman got 10x the support on social media then his primary opponent but still lost by a good chunk of votes. Social media isn’t a accurate representation.

This is horrible advice, every woman will be weirded out by you hiding your face

Those numbers are useless, it highly depends on where, who, and how you approach.

I literally posted a video taken from a reporter in Gaza and a article from a humans rights group. You aren’t disproving anything I post, you just posted irrelevant articles about fake content. Yes some content is fake, that doesn’t mean what I post is. Last time you accused me of BS it was over a passage from one of the most famous Israeli historians book. in developing events there is fake information, but that doesn’t mean I’m lying if I post it, if it’s fake point it out to me. You said you are ok with CNN and NYT as sources so what about this? https://www.cnn.com/2024/05/10/middleeast/israel-sde-teiman-detention-whistleblowers-intl-cmd/index.html https://www.nytimes.com/2024/06/06/world/middleeast/israel-gaza-detention-base.html

Interesting: former US military and former CIA discuss the assassination

they can still get small donations and the government can provide some funding the issue is currently very wealthy can dump millions which gives their choices a unfair advantage

It’s from here https://euromedmonitor.org/en/article/6322/Gaza:-Israeli-army-storms-UNRWA-schools-and-kills-more-civilians-in-Jabalia maybe there is more to it, it’s all a developing story. But I wouldn’t be surprised as there have been many reports of Israel using torture

There are many simple ways to do this that most Americans support - ban money from politics - automatic funding, ballot access and debate access for third parties - open primaries - rank choice voting The problem is the politicians in charge are incentivized to block these, leaving Americans in a catch 22 of change, they want to change the system, but they need the system to change itself, and the system doesn’t want to

He already has Ohio on lock.

Is he really though? Put aside his media antics and toxic behavior. Is he actually behaving policy wise any different than the average republican? We almost started a war with Iran when he assassinated their general, but we now know many top officials in the us and Israel were pushing him to do it, he actually resisted initially. Some people called him nuts for meeting with the taliban and beginning the process to pull out of afghanidtan, but Biden went ahead and continued it. Despite people framing him as Putins puppet, he further armed Ukraine. I would actually prefer if he was a wild card because going against the establishments plans would actually be really good for the world in a lot of ways. For example some leaks show he started to turn on Netanyahu because he felt he was blocking a settlement. But Trumps advisors convinced him to toe the party line. Obama was a bit more of a wild card with the Iran deal and normalization with Cuba, clearly a lot of the establishment didn’t want that based on their behavior and after Trump reneged it Biden didn’t go back and undo that.

What makes you think Trump will be any different? https://www.mtracey.net/p/never-forget-that-donald-trump-snookered

The point of the video isn’t his belief on that issue, it’s how easily he switches moralities depending on what he’s talking about. In a discussion with Candace Owens she accused him of being a contrarian and he slightly smiled then denied it. What he does is he picks a position that goes against the far right or far left, usually left of center mainstream dem, then starts twisting himself to justify it. That’s not a insightful or good faith strategy, it just appears that way because it’s usually easier to defend establishment positions. Say what you will about Vaush but at least he has something of a moral system he worked out and uses as a lens to view issues and develop arguments based on, as flawed as it can be.

If you’re discussing politics full time you should already have basic elementary morality figured out regarding the issues you are talking about. How can you be arguing about Israel for months and still not know where you stand on ethnic cleaning? Rather than developing a good faith position on it through logical discussion he decides his position in advance and forms his moral arguments around what best defends it. When he is talking to a right winger who wants to deport Mexicans he tells them they’re racists who are asking for something worse than execution, when he wants to defend Israel suddenly it’s ok. It’s not because he’s open minded, it’s because he decided in advance what his position is and has to contort his beliefs to justify them.

You’re conflating a minority of hardcore trump fans with the much larger group of independents that actually get him elected. https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/monkey-cage/wp/2016/12/02/trump-won-where-import-shocks-from-china-and-mexico-were-strongest/ a study found trump did best in counties that lost jobs to globalization
