Bruh keep this guy off any stage.

I see both sides of what you are saying; but if this is what you get when you put the guy on stage?

Bro keep him under a rock. Its just much much more evidence that Biden can-not-be the candidate if we need to win this one.

I mean. Sure I guess?

So it was unfair. Sure.

But Biden and his camp didn’t need to agree to a debate. It was going to get them nothing. There was NOTHING to gain here and everything to lose.

And they lost… everything .

It shows that the Biden team isn’t capable of manging this election; it showed that Biden isn’t capable of offering the rhetoric it takes to win.

The Presidential role is a communications job. If he can’t do the communications part of this, he__cant__win.

I mean, the Biden camp didn’t need to take this debate.

They get it, but they believe that some lives are less important than others. When someone holds that position I haven’t found an argument to convince them otherwise.

Exactly. This is the fundamental lesson you (the royal “you”; as ‘one’) needed to learn from BLM. The history and legacy of settler colonialism and white supremacy leaves us with inherent and structural biases that means some “lives” are valued higher than others.

And how many hostages does Israel have? Do Palestinians not have the same right, that if their family has been taken hostage, to do anything to get them back?

You dont get it. Its clear that you dont get it.

They should have to do another drug after every question in the debate.

How many people are they allowed to kill in retaliation for Oct 7th? Zero? 1:1? 10:1?

I mean you asked the question, whats your number?

Because Israel has killed 104 as of today.

If Hamas killed 4 on Oct 7, that puts the ratio at 26:1.

Israel estimates that 1200 were killed on Oct 7.

A recent estimate puts Israel at 34,900 killed.

Thats a ratio of about 29:1. Is that acceptable to you?

I’m doing this not because there is any acceptable level, but to highlight the absurdity of the idea that there even is one. Hamas needs to be held accountable for its crimes. Israel needs, at a level about 29 times more so, also needs to be held accountable for their crimes.

The idea that any level of incidental murder is acceptable is absurdist, and you are a terrible person if you think there is one.

Hey thanks for bumping this and coming around.

I’m giving the entire post/ thread a re-read, because boy, is it both damning and telling.

The Biden aquarians live in a constant state of denialism about Biden, and it is what cost us this election.

This seems like a FOSS bait and switch. Yall gotta start getting the message: The profit is the problem.

Its always the voters fault.

we were, we’d probably be voting Republican…

Its clear from how Biden has managed his 2024 campaign he’d rather Republicans as supporters, so that tracks.

Also, the first time the price of something rises in the 5 minutes it takes for me to get my shopping done and get to the checkout, I’m taking a shit on the floor.

I’m with you I’m saving my dump truck load for the conveyor belt at the register.

Imagine walking down the aisle, normal day, no thoughts about the prices or any of that.

Then one day you walk down the aisle but this time you forgot your phone in the car.

Different prices. Then some one walks is coming close from the other end of the aisle. The price changes. They walk past, nonplussed. A few seconds later, it switches back.

Ok. I will now seriously consider moving over to proton. I can’t trust a for-profit buisness to stay true to its mission. However, Open-AI has shown that I can’t blindly trust a non-profit to do so as well, but its ‘towards’ being able to trust.

This scene smells like a mixture of stale Budlight and PowerBait.

Biden has argued, Obama squandered any ability to influence the Israeli government

Ahh yes. Biden commenting on squandering influence…

He should try a “improving my polling numbers” weekend blitz.

Just in-case you’ve never actually seen Joan Rivers, one of the funniest stand-ups of all time.
