Palestine isn’t a state. It never became it state. It never has been a state.

Getting rid of misinformation is great.
Getting rid of accurately reported, gruesome images because of a government mandate flies in the face of the core principles of free speech. And it would cause real damage to the world.
Remember that it was only when the world actually saw images of the Nazi concentration camps that the world actually believed it. They’d heard about it for years, but it was largely ignored.
We have a lot of nightmare scenarios in the future: Trump wins, Trump loses and we get insurrection part II, Biden wins and we don’t take the house and keep the Senate, and we have at least 2 more years of gridlock while our lives continue to get shittier, etc etc.
The true tragedy is that there isn’t even a good outcome in the mix. Biden wins and Democrats take Congress. Fine, will they fix the courts? Fix student loans? Will they even try for universal healthcare? Universal Basic Income? Anything even close to meeting the moment?
So depressing.
Anyway, vote Biden so at least we don’t wind up in a fascist dictatorship.
Sorry, but the UN’s anti-Israel bias is extremely well documented. They’ve earned my skepticism and yours.
Again, the sources are suspect. The UN has been widely, absurdly anti-Israel to an absolutely comical extent.
According to who?
You have to take these stories with a grain of salt.
Do you remember the Jenin massacre?
Do you remember all the awful things that the Israelis did? It was horrific.
… Except …
It never happened. The Palestinians lied about it.
Israel has never targeted civilians. Palestinians have always targeted civilians.
Hamas uses civilians as meat shields.
When people like you take INTENT out of the equation, your just doing Hamas’s bidding.
At last count, Hamas had something like a 75 percent approval rating in Gaza.
The support among all Palestinians is just over 50 percent.
Only 14 percent support the opposition party.
Israel’s right-wing government is becoming anti-democratic, and their position on settlements is antagonistic.
But Hamas is pro-genocide, happily murders Jewish children, and use their own children as meat shields.
It bothers me that people equate these two.
They aren’t the same.
I feel sorry for these folks. They have no idea what’s about to happen.
This is just the smallest tip of the iceberg.
I’ve been working with gpt-4 since the week it came out, and I guarantee you that even if it never became any more advanced, it could already put at least 30% of the white collar workforce out of business.
The only reason it hasn’t is because companies have barely started to comprehend what it can do.
Within 5 years the entire world will have been revolutionized by this technology. Jobs will evaporate faster than anyone is talking about.
If you’re very smart, and you begin to use gpt-4 to write the tools that will replace you, then you MIGHT have 10 good years left in this economy before humans are all but obsolete.
If you’re not staying up nights, scared shitless by what’s coming, it’s because you don’t really understand what gpt-4 can do.
Well, the DNC absolutely kneecapped Bernie when he was running against Hillary. I mean, we literally have the emails to prove it.
Against Biden, the issue wasn’t the DNC as much as it was Elizabeth Warren refusing to consolidate the liberals behind Bernie as the moderates consolidated behind Biden. The final nail in the coffin was the prominent black leader who thew his support to Biden and handed him a critical victory in one of the southern states. This always annoyed me deeply, because Bernie was literally out there getting arrested to fight for their civil rights while Biden was on the wrong side of the busing civil rights issue.
Oh well. At least Bernie dragged Biden much farther left than he would have been.
The solution is so simple. Vote overwhelming for progressive, and get rid of the centrists and Republicans.
We’d have free, universal healthcare within a couple of years.
You’re not missing anything. This is a politically stupid move.
McCarthy: “hard-right Republicans want to burn the whole place down!”
Moderate Democrats: “so you’ll work with us instead, to pass legislation that keeps the lights on, and addresses some of the problems we both agree exist?”
McCarthy: “No. Fuck you. Die in a fire.”
AOC pulls the party to the left with her rhetoric, and then lends her support to strengthen the party as a whole.
In this political environment, when the opposition is literally a fascist cult, it’s great that she’s being a team player.
Also when she eventually does run for president, she won’t have alienated the party.
She has handled it perfectly.
No… Don’t you see?
No matter how centrist or moderate democratic candidate is, the Republicans call them communist, socialist pedophiles.
They’ve painted themselves into a corner. We could nominate a full-on Marxist flag-burner, and they would have nothing left to say about them that they didn’t already say about Obama and Biden.
I wonder if the ultra rich understand just how much genuine malice is directed at them.
People were cheering for the submarine to implode.
It really seems like the world is full of tinder, waiting for a spark.
I can’t wait for her to be president!
Yeah, I see denouncing and illustrating terrorist attacks as a good thing.
