that’s a significant cause, but the bigger problem is that republicans have eroded objective reality. it’s impossible to debate something if u can’t agree on what’s real

Democrats being a shitty opposition party is a problem, but it has nothing to do with what we’re talking about. Dems were the people who pushed for fact checking remember. And if u wanna talk about israel… it’s not even close to comparable. people think this started in this Trump term. No, he moved the US embassy into Jerusalem to directly aggravate the Palestinians. Both him Kushner were essentially gifted million dollar real estate properties and what used to be Gaza.

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 Holy shit, you don’t know what fucking thing about Israeli history. They’ve been genocide Palestinians since they colonized the land. with the fighting that happened under Biden, it was due to an actual war that the Palestinians caused. Not in any way at all, trying to justify it, but to say that Biden did anything at all to make the problem worse, when Trump moving the US Israel from neutral territory to Jerusalem, is as bibi says, highly aggressive in support of Israel

And also let me remind you Benjamin Netanyahu asked Biden to attack Iran twice. He said no both times. Kamala was not a fucking hard line anti-Israeli by any goddamn means, she’s probably as ironist as well, but to think they are even remotely comparable is absolute insanity

do you think that the Democrats were the one doing the fact checking? And also, I know that this is an insane concept to people who think everyone is evil, but they are genuine people genuine Americans out there who care about the truth. And if you need incentive debunking misinformation that makes Republicans look good in Democrats look bad is an incentive. Like they are not comparable at all.

yes, and then you said and they went with Kamala implying that Biden’s presidency somehow had anything to do with what happened in 2023. You bring it up as if it’s a valid point to make. It’s not. Just straight up

No, you’re worse. You’re a goddamn centrist. The Democratic Party is not inherently good by any means. They’re an opposition party that is not doing nearly enough to stop this shit, but you’re attempting to frame it as if they are at all equal. That’s honestly worse.

The key thing is that you said the escalation occurred under Biden. Implying he had something in any way to do with it. Yes he continued the funding of Israel like we have since it exist existed. The framing matters. And since there isn’t a genuine politician with a snowballs Chance in hell of standing against Israel the whole framing was disingenuous. Like yes, Biden was an American imperialist like all of them, but this reads like both sideism

I never implied such. But they did at least attempt to make meaningful changes to preserve the truth. Like I’m also a leftist if you can’t tell, and I’m still not over them not giving it to Bernie in 2016. But when it comes to the erosion of reality, the main detriment that is destroying society, it is completely one-sided. The Democratic Party had no role in it.

your good i was overly aggressive. you know, as well as I do one of the biggest obstacles left, his politics have faced in America is the fact that we are constantly in fighting. And I’m not saying you have to pledge allegiance to the Democratic Party but every time I call out some shit Republicans do and someone says something along the lines of well we have to acknowledge the Democrats involvement, it just allows the republicans to do more evil

I thought we were making amicable progress there at the end. I’ll respect your request to disengage, but do you mind if I ask which comment this is responding to?
