Listen, I will be voting for Biden, who is clearly worlds better than Trump. But the idea that Palestinian Americans who won’t vote for someone funding the ethnic cleansing of their own family members are “purity test” losers is…well, its a take.
For some, “never again” means “never again let this happen to any People”, to others, it means “never again let this happen to us”. Unfortunately, it is much more common in the Israeli right to understand it the second way.
Honestly I hate the way this article is written, like yeah, let’s dunk on some random Russian citizens for complaining when things are worse in Ukraine. As if they have some kind of say in what Putin and his cronies are up to. I’m not against the Ukrainian drone attacks, but we need to stop with this general anti-Russian sentiment.
I want the record to show that I was one of the people who downvoted this, and I wanted to explain why. I agree that RFK Jr.'s candidacy is a complete joke. I just don’t think someone who happens to be related to him saying it who has no more political expertise than any of us deserves to make news.
“Everyone that disagrees with me is a shill”
Listen, I’m going to hold my nose and vote for Biden in November because a Trump victory risks the end of democracy in the US, but I’m so tired of this idea that all criticism of him, and anyone who disagrees with us about whether to vote for him, is a victim of some kind of conspiracy.
That isn’t to say that people don’t want to exploit those divisions and will try to spread misinformation to do so, but that isn’t an excuse to dismiss everyone you disagree with either.
