hhhhmmmm, yeah, you are right. It's one thing to act on behalf of your country and it's another that said country's embassy shows up and says such an obvious and brazen lie. I can't help but picture the chinese going "huh, so they aren't dumb enough to buy this".
I should really chill out with my hating on leftists (because that's not how you change people's minds, and I am a Socdem so I'm closer to them than I'd like to admit), but this does really seem to be their motto. "America Bad."
" Also disappointing to see how free speech and First Amendment people are so quiet when students are getting beaten up, arrested, expelled, and kicked out for protesting, and even worse that colleges are the ones making these things happen

I'm genuinely curious: what do you think the word ironic means? What is irony to you? Because I just claimed that "not being willing to talk about what you believe can be viewed as a sign that you're not confident you're right."
Maybe? But I don't really get what Ukraine aid has to do with it. Other than a few alt-right hold outs most would agree that funding Ukraine against Russia is one of the greatest bargains presented to the USA in decades. Russia, one of the top world threats to the USA, is literally throwing their own soldiers at another, much smaller country. $100B to decimate the Russia military and strengthen the USA and EU sounds like a no brainer.

It's just anger that Ukraine is being aided a lot more than Palestine is. Some have claimed it's racism because Ukrainians are white and Palestinians aren't just brown, but they're Muslims.
M3J has read this exact sentiment from me for over 5 months now. When confirmation bias hits, you either change your mind, or you change the facts. He chose to change the facts.
Damn. I didn't think of it like that but I guess you're right.

Oh, sure, this has nothing to do with ukraine. My point more was on israel stuff potentially costing biden the election. Even setting aside that younger folk tend to not vote and thus make them irrelevant for people whose jobs depend on being elected, the alternative as you mention is decidedly worse. Trump relies heavily on the evangelical vote... Which will definitely matter more than protestors who are less likely to vote.
You have yet to provide any proof that Israel is the victim and Palestinians are the violent ones. You keep coming up with excuses or old-ass stuff from few years ago or decades ago. Meanwhile, Israel and its politicians have not even provided a single shred of evidence, while Palestinians continuously provide videos and pictures.
I think I mentioned it in one of my previous posts, but I didn't know this actually needed an explanation.
We'll see because in the last two elections, Dems won the popular vote, and the left went the extra mile to make sure as many people could vote, which helped Biden. But what's "Hamas supporters?" People that support Palestine and want to ceasefire to end? People that support Palestinians defending themselves? People that know how much Israel has lied about Hamas since Oct 7? People who aren't brainwashed?
Why would I try to prove that when that's never been my claim? I never said Israel is "the victim". Israeli innocents were the victims on October 7th, sure. But that doesn't make Israel itself a victim. Palestine is CLEARLY being victimized by Israel with constant bombings.
Yes you have. I just posted a video of Hamas supporters carrying signs that said things like death to Israel, death to America, and death to the Jews.
All I saw is that in March you said Ukraine has some Nazis and seem to imply that Russia isn’t actually bad. That’s not really a reason. It’s just you saying stuff. I guess the point is that you think because your very extreme opinion is not being catered to by the POTUS that enough must feel that way that the election could be tilted out of Biden’s favor. I also don’t get why “Ukraine has some Nazis” is a reason not to help defend them from a literal invasion.
Welp, my point was more about people who don't vote. These folk are probably not going to move politicians or elections. And anyone who thinks trump is going to be more sympathetic towards palestinians than biden are idiots.
