  • I know it’s an unpopular opinion, but I hate the term “Genocide Joe”:

    • it doesn’t put enough fault on Netanyahu
    • its an in group term, if you are in the group you know what it means, if not its either has no meaning, or is taken too literally/incorrectly.
    • The middle east is a mess, we make it worse in every attempt to improve it, but some of those religiously using this phrase I don’t think want peace, just wish a different group was winning. This is a small subset of those using the phrase, but seem to be driving the political outcome by an oversized amount.

    See the expression should be Netanyahu is treating the Palestinians like Hitler did the Jews. So why are we [Joe/Harris] so blindly following this.

    And I know the political answer to this is Joe/Harris were trying to use there position for political pressure… I’d say it failed but they did get a last min ceasefire, so history may prove otherwise.

    Do it in the primary… where the current system expects it… but… there is only 1 or 2 primary candidates in the current style winner takes all scenario we have… and ID say fight for instant runoff elections, but vote for those with a chance until then… Even if you think your state is safe…

    Sorry, you will get big changes voting for Trump. becasue too much is already in place to make those types of changes happen. I dont agree with these changes, but to say they are the “same” is a dangerous opinion.

    The person at the top is needed to green light policy… those lower down present such policy… While this can seem boring it is important, since while by definition the president will be at the center of their party. If the party you vote for is most interested in vetoing everything of the other party… even if they agree with the law in general, there is no progress.

    Of course you must do more than just vote for the least bad president to make the change happen… However if you can’t at least do that you own the results os the OP said.
