    I wouldn't be surprised if they tried, but it's there.

    This is what pisses me off the most that, its twice he's won, and it should have been a landslide for the dem candidate this time.

    Yeah, people would burn this country down before they let him become dictator or king.

    Should have been.

    Sometimes you have to learn a lesson the hard way.

    It really is embarrassing... the way this whole thing went down.
    I like Joes speech today, he did well. He should have not run again, but allowed a primary process for a new candidate and message.

    Does it require a real 2/3 vote or 2/3 because of the imminently repeal-able filibuster?

    Why are you asking me questions you know the answer to. You know I don't think he cares. I'm putting myself in someone else's shoes. Gambling on a what if is better than the status quo. That's their thinking.

    You're the one crying on a message board. The opposite of immature over here. I'm coming across very understandable and putting myself in other people's shoes. Try it.

    I've already put it in plain English a dozen times. I don't know how much more clear I can be.

    You can ask me anything.

    You said a bunch of stuff but now you’re attributing it to other people, so now I can’t tell what your actual opinion is.

    Ultimately it doesn’t matter, of course. And like, if I die because of this administration, you wouldn’t feel guilty about it anyway so I guess there’s no point in caring what you think or trying to convince you of anything.

    I don’t hate you or anything and I agree with you on a lot of things, but I certainly don’t trust you now. I’m putting you on ignore to avoid conflict; it’s nothing personal.

    The theatrics is absolutely bananas. Get a grip.

    Why would I feel guilty? I didn't vote for Trump.

    Logic again escapes you.

    No tears here.

    You aren't putting yourself in others shoes. You are reproaching others.

    I take people into account. I listen, I try to be understandable. Not always easy in OT. Especially when it comes to politics, but I try.

    You said Trump was a bigger genocide enabler which is categorically false at this time and haven't backed up your comment.

    I'd love you to tell a Palestinian they shouldn't cast a vote for someone else because that someone else is theoretically worse while their family members are literally being ripped apart and incinerated.

    The Biden administration has tried to help them. Sent food and water so they wouldn't starve. They have been trying to get peace talks going. Netanyahu doesn't want that. They aren't the ones committing genocide, Netanyahu is.

    It's really shitty what is going on over there. I see you are very passionate about it. That's great. I want nothing more than Palestine to have their land and Israel to have theirs.

    I don't believe Trump will be better than Harris on that matter. We will see. He is good friends with Netanyahu. He supports Israel over Palestine. He might get him to stop, at least while he is president. Do, I believe Trump will be a savior for the Palestinian people, no.

    I'm leaning yes, but I think it's a bit more complicated. I don't think he would call himself a Zionist. I think he does whatever he thinks makes sense (cents). He's not married to any one ideology. He'd sell his mother out for the right price.

    The one thing I guess I could say in the positive for Trump, if he wanted a red line, I don't think too many are crossing it. Not like Biden having a red line and getting spit in his face repeatedly.
