It’s not ad hominem to call you a bastard for being a bastard, it would be an ad hominem to say your argument is wrong because you’re a bastard. You’re a bastard because your argument is so wrong, not vice versa.

And what strawman? I literally linked you an actual letter by actual Palestinians actually imploring you to vote Harris if you care about them at all, and your response was literally “both sides”.

Unless you’d like to enlighten the rest of us why your opinion on the matter is more valid than that of a coalition of Palestinians and Muslim Americans?

If both sides are dedicated to genocide, is it really both sides? Or is it really one side playing as two? You’ve allowed a political party to convince you that genocide is not only acceptable and supportable, but defendable as well. Where does that end, I wonder? What can’t they convince you to be in support of, mein kumpel?

I don’t need a coalition of anybody to tell me that even genocide lite is wrong, and should not be supported in any way.

I have only my opinion, and I’m not going to change yours any readily than you are to change mine, as we are opposed to this on a fundamental level. I do believe an impasse had been reached, as further discussion on this topic seems pointless.

Although I disagree with you, I respect your dedication, as misguided as it may seem to me.

I will take that as your admission that you care more about flouting the misguided illusion of morality than you care about Palestinian lives. Thank you for confirming.

Like I said, impasse. I can’t keep you from drawing conclusions anymore than you can keep me from drawing conclusions about you and your support of genocide.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to “Mom! He’s bugging me!” and “I’m not touching you!” Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That’s all the rules!
