I believe you are posting in the wrong thread, my dude.

This is about a woman with a green card knowingly breaking federal law and then losing her green card

I would imagine any group of people who are experiencing a genocide

Hamas took over the country in 2007, after Israel had left Gaza. They then promptly canceled elections forever, declared Jihad, and began torturing dissidents to death.

They have not only actively fought a 2-state solution and secularization, but have opposed Israel normalizing relations with neighbors, because their goal is the eradication of Israel.

Moreover, Hamas has stolen aid money, impeded and corrupted aid groups, and restricted access to medical supplies and food to solidify their own power.

There is no defense for Hamas, and referring to them as a "resistance group" is both inherently dishonest and empowering to the terror organization.

This discussion is not and has never been about Gazan's - this discussion is about OP calling them a "resistance group with some radical elements" which they are not.

I definitely understood, yes. Hamas is not a "resistance org", and they don't have a "few extremists". Every member of Hamas is an extremist who is willing to torture and murder Palestinians who challenge them.

That is not a resistance group. They are all extremists, by definition, because Hamas is a Jihadist Islamist group, even if you take Israel completely off the table.

In their own words:

“Jihad is its path and death for the sake of Allah is the loftiest of its wishes,” Hamas said in its first statement in the late 1980s.

Support for the Palestinian people neither requires, nor implies, support for Hamas, and support for Hamas is, definitionally, not support for the Palestinian people.

Yes, that's why I think you'd prefer Hexbear. You want to self-isolate, and there's nothing wrong with that. Go nuts man. Live the dream.

17 people is not a significant portion of his campaign staff, and the campaign hasn't even mobilized for staffing heavily yet.

Engagement is going to be down in '24

I highly doubt this.

If you want to see any of your political goals come to fruition, volunteering is by far the best way to do that.

Volunteer for local campaigns often. Participate heavily. Consider becoming a citizen lobbyist.

I love the work I do for Citizens Climate Lobby, for instance.

Just so we're clear, the source for this article is an anonymous post to Medium that claims to be from 17 staffers.

This is not "news"

How would immigration reform not written by Republicans hurt Biden politically? It's yet another win he can tout.

I do agree, though, that any form of immigration restrictions hurts the country.

You're not a victim if you cause your own problem.

Victim doesn't mean "bad thing happened." Victim means "bad thing happened that happened during to external factors you had no input on"

This is literally my ideal world.

You personally have sex maybe 20 times with various peers before you reach your 18th birthday.

But surely this is already the norm, yeah? Who is sexually active and has sex less than 20 times? Did you mean 20 partners?
