Count the number of commas per period in your response in the OP.

But, from the videos available, it seemed like the explosives had very limited radius, where even people standing next to the targets were not hit or even knocked over!

It's not about being knocked over; these explosions created shrapnel and that shrapnel created tons of injuries. We don't have numbers because nobody bothered to count, but these were still bombs. There was no way they were not going to harm hundreds if not thousands of innocent civilians.

Yeah I'd argue it was the most precisely targeted attack possible on such a scale.

Maybe, and then the conclusion is don't attack anything on such a scale.

much time as a job, for sure, and probably more. But if you consider it work to bring them to and watch them at a football / soccer match on the weekend that you should be reimbursed for by the public, you maybe shouldn't have kids to begin with.

It's not about being reimbursed for it by the public; it's that this sort of thing can simply be incompatible with a full-time job if you have more than one or two kids, and in modern Western society it's very hard for the average household to live on one income. That's the crux of the issue here; it doesn't matter why you want to have kids if it's unfeasible to have kids.

Okay as someone who used to have this exact problem in the past, you should learn to avoid run on sentences and comma splices. Using relative clauses to join sentences also makes things ten times harder to understand. As a rule of thumb if you have more than three commas in one sentence there you should probably put down a period somewhere and start a new sentence.

Just in case anyone is wondering, this is a fringe right-wing party with one seat in Japanese Parliament's lower house.

Haven't seen one of these in a while.

Oh yeah my bad there. I've seen enough "there was no problem with Harris's campaign" takes that I kinda default to that.

To respond to the actual point you made, let's first forget about any comparisons to Republicans because that's just not the point here. After that I wanna establish that Biden's administration is, by all means, an exception. He ran on an explicitly left-wing platform that Bernie had a role in creating, and despite still being a corporate democrat did things that actually helped the working class. Compared to his campaign Harris ran on "nothing will fundamentally change" and straight up said she didn't have anything in mind that she'd do differently from Biden regarding the economy. That rejection of change, which shaped her campaign as a whole (the economy is just the most egregious example), is abandoning a working class who desperately needs change. Add in how Harris explicitly tried to court Republicans and we have reason to believe the DNC intended to shift to the right rather than the left, again abandoning the working class.

They've been clear that they don't do it because they don't think they'd make Iran more secure.

Quebec… I’m not going to touch that one.

Damnit now I'm curious.

Uh... We all know Trump is bad you're not proving anything here. However, policies aside, Harris's campaign sucked ass. If you don't understand or refuse to accept that then there's no conversation to be had here.

Edit: I was responding to an argument that doesn't exist nvm.

They're a much more recent and also more similar regime,

Apartheid South Africa was much less extreme than modern Israel though. Zionists straight up want to genocide Palestinians for Lebensraum; unlike SA Apartheid, which only requires violence in the face of resistance, Zionism is an inherently violent ideology.
