it reads like whataboutism.
If you have problems with me saying ‘Isreal’s crimes are wrong’ without clarification about Hamas being bad as well then you should have first had problems with the guy saying “Hamas attacked Israel in the bloodiest assault in history”, implying everything Isreal is doing is morally permissible.
They clearly have a regard for civilian casualties.
People who bomb civilian areas do not care about civilians casualties.
And you inserted your own pro-Hamas
Saying that Isreal shouldn’t be killing civilians and doing ethnic cleansing is not pro-Hamas.
Neither party should be doing those things.
You can be against the Israeli government’s war crimes AND against Hamas’ war crimes.
I am.
Try it, having principals instead of an agenda is freeing and might feel good to you.
Perhaps you could try not assuming the worst out of people you don’t know.
When I say “indiscriminate” I mean “disregard for civilian casualties” not “random bombings”.
Please keep insulting me. I’m becoming so convinced you’re right.
But you Hamas supporters
I don’t support Hamas.
and only care about Palestine because they’re brown
No, I’m just against ethnic cleansing, which is what Isreal is currently doing and getting billions of dollars in support for.
Isreal shouldn’t be doing ethnic cleansing, nor should Hamas.
Your white guilt is so fucking lame 😂
It’s really a sign of intelligence to assume things of people you don’t know and have only ever spoken to on the internet.
The next budget is due in a month, so there’s a good chance he’ll be gone after that.
So the lettuce has a nonzero chance of outlining his office.
Hamas doing something horrible doesn’t make it OK to starve the entirety of Gaza
Terrible thing Hamas has done
Hamas doing something horrible doesn’t make it OK to starve the entirety of Gaza
Terrible thing Hamas is doing
The U.S. is about to dump billions in military aid for Isreal.
Here’s France:
Amid fears the fighting to spiral into a wider regional war, French President Emmanuel Macron arrived in Tel Aviv on Tuesday and told top Israeli officials that he came “to express our support and solidarity and share your pain” as well as to assure Israel it is “not left alone in the war against terrorism.”
not as an organized and permanent method of displacement.
Yeah right
They’ve been bombing civilian centers that they know are predominantly of Palestinian ethnicity.
They’ve been evicting people from their homes based on ethnicity. The law gives Isrealis preferences in land disputes.
And now they’re telling everyone in Gaza to abandon their homes.
These are three different actions.
Isreal is indiscriminately bombing civilian/Palestinian population centers and diving people out of their homes.*
What Isreal is doing absolutely falls under the category of genocide.
Kill civilians is indefensible.
Well gee, that sure does give Isreal the right to do ethnic cleansing. It’s self defense after all so everything is permissible. /s
They’re going to blame democrats for not voting for a moderate republican, even though republicans are the ones who can’t get their act together and elect somebody who isn’t pro-sedition.
Not only that, but there have been straight up death threats sent to republican from republicans over the house speaker circus.
So there will be no speaker.
That, and generally republicans proudly support the electoral college, a system that intentionally weighs votes unequally, and destroys any chance of 3rd party candidates. So it is double ironic.
Not sure I follow the “FPTP with layers” argument. After each layer, the votes go to the next choice rather than being wasted.
Round one is a check for a +50% majority. If there is no majority, then it eliminates the lowest voted candidate and moves on.

This first half is identical in function to FPTP voting. So ranked choice is basically FPTP but repeated a couple times with eliminations. Like I said, it is still definitely better than FPTP, but it has the possibility of vote splitting, albeit to a much smaller degree. A strategic voter wouldn’t vote for their first pick first, but would instead vote for the closest candidate to them that has a high chance of winning. And that’s the hole we are currently stuck in as is.
but ballot counts could definitely be published as they come in (N ballots with order ABCD, M ballots with order DBA, etc)
If there are 5 candidates in a given race, something that is rather common, then there would be 120 different orders. That’s not data that is easily digestible or auditable. And that number gets exponentially worse the more candidates there are, and ideally we should have a good number of candidates to choose from to make sure we get the best one.
None of us should ever have to go back. We need to vote them out of office like our lives depend on it. Because they very much may be if the right wing decides to go full Gilead.
