Still crazy that the "moderates" think since we're defending Ukraine from a genocide. That means we need to fund Israel's genocide against Palestine...

But that's what happens when people think the right answer is always "half of each position"

Still crazy to me that somehow this will decide our next president. Listening to people explain ( and they are unfortunately 100% correct ,) how this will make people vote a certain way is so batshit crazy to me. Blame before the solution simply means more people are going to die for no reason.

There's few things that make me feel less American than an election

There's a lot of lobby money tied into that but there's another policy pill that's hard to swallow, as well. The US has stated numerous times that after the assault on Hamas is over, Palestinians should and need to be the ones to govern themselves either through a new government or the Palestinian Authority which has been kept out of power since Hamas assumed rule in the West Bank. Israel hasn't committed to that solution and without the US, there is no one to make them commit. So if the US pulls out, now, Israel still won't stop and the resolution will be Palestinians living under Israeli rule. There isn't a right answer or path forward so they're opting for the least bad, long-term.

Earth could either be spherical or flat. Therefore we should act on the basis that it's a half sphere to encapsulate both positions into our world view.
