    “It’s a fucking war that’s why we need to give them bombs, arms, jets, cash, and our full support. It’s our only option”

    Look, I get it, and I’d be grieving too if I openly supported such atrocities, and it all turned out to be for nothing, but you’re eventually going to find yourself standing alone with the other RadLibs as nobody finds diet-Republican ideals appealing.

      I feel like there’s very little chance you intentionally misinterpreted my comment, so in the interest of keeping civil discourse alive: what’s happening in Palestine isn’t a war, it’s a massacre, and I was referring to the nascent civil war and fascist takeover of the US when I said ‘war’ (and to the things like rampant persecution of LGB (and especially T) people, the open violence against the poor and minorities, etc.).

        I did misinterpret you, and I agree with what you’re saying in this comment, but I don’t think people like Harris, Biden, or Clinton are on our side in this war, nor are the party leaders who pushed them on us.

          I don’t disagree they’re not on our side, I just think they’d have been much less likely to plunge the country into a fascist hellscape and persecute the people I care about.
