I'm further left than you're probably comfortable with.

I'll respond when it's convenient for me, but I appreciate your patience.

  1. The Palestinians are fucked either way. Either the party that enabled the genocide will stay in power, or a party will take over that everyone agrees will be worse.

  2. My stance on genocide will not change. There's a good chance that the dems will use the genocide as a carrot to get voters to the polls, and then move the goalposts later. They're leveraging genocide for political gain, I'm just against genocide.

No idea what you're talking about, I don't own a single tracksuit and I don't even like vodka.

Up to ten years in jail for about $20,700.

Everyone needs a hobby, I suppose.

Seems like a bigger waste of time to just end up engaging with people who can vault over pictures, but can't handle nuance.

Start the discussion on an intellectual level, and those who can't grasp it can go read until they're ready to talk.

Or they can go find someone else who will argue with cartoons or whatever, I'm sure they'll be happier there.

Makes sense. As a grown adult, I also require overly simplistic illustrations in order to grasp concepts.

That's a very difficult concept for them to understand. The mental gymnastics I've seen them use to excuse or defend genocide has been wild.

By just saying, "I don't want to endorse a genocide." sends them into a frothing rage, with arguments immediately fired against the right. They see it as 'us vs. them', but fail to see that people don't want to endorse a genocide no matter the color of the party.
