Biden told Netanyahu U.S. won't support an Israeli counterattack on Iran https://www.axios.com/2024/04/14/biden-netanyahu-iran-israel-us-wont-support

Hey, maybe we could have gotten that in the next election while reducing casualties in the intervening four years by increasing Biden's sanctions on settlers and his aid to Gaza instead of removing those on day 1 like Trump did, bombing Iran, and then pretending that the ceasefire agreement didn't apply to Lebanon when the country that brokered the ceasefire agreement said it did.

Lincoln also said blacks should be segregated and that he wouldn't force an end to slavery, but if you voted for his opponent based on that, you made a bad choice. Always vote for the one who is better.

as if genocide wasn't a big deal.

The point is if that's your issue, your choices haven't made things better. In fact, it made things worse. On day 1, Trump removed Biden's sanctions on West Bank settlers. On day whatever it was this week, Trump said that Lebanon was not part of the ceasefire agreement despite the country that brokered the agreement saying it was.

I want to stop the genocide too, but I'm smart enough to know what my choices are. There isn't a choice to stop the genocide immediately, but there is a choice to slow it down and get on a path where we stop it faster.

if you're too much of a feckless hand-wringer to do anything to defend your community from predators.

Unlike you, I do things that work instead of just putting myself in jail. I was lucky to grow up in a household with education and without violence, so that's why I'm more likely to make correct decisions.

the will of the people is ignored

News to me.

your advice

is to call for his resignation, raising embarrassment until he does. I'm active in local politics, so I know what works. It's the people who aren't active in politics who think action movies have all the answers. Rand Paul is still in office. Tony Gonzales will not be.

Whatever you say, Batman. Are you the one who's going to deliver the punch?

Plenty of other countries have more vigilante justice and still have corrupt leaders, so clearly that doesn't work either. Maybe instead work to make your government better. In a democracy, it represents the will of the people.

In the video, ChatGPT was actually being used as a stopwatch instead of a countdown timer.

This will actually be solved in a week. All it takes is to add the current time to each input.

You say that in safety while others suffer the consequences of your actions.

Whoosh. Reread the thread, champ.

New London School is joke to you?

It's never "bothsidesing" if you take a position.

Responding to your opponent's strongest argument is steelmanning, and it's always good practice if you want to convince people instead of just get clicks.

The person I replied to said that the US vetoed the Resolution. I pointed out that it did not and cannot veto the Resolution. It passed.
