It's difficult to get a read on precisely which issues affected just how may votes.

So I don't mean to sound confident Harris would have won if "only" she'd have worked harder for the "pro-Palestinian" (or otherwise just kinda not a fan of the way we've supported the destruction of Gaza) vote.

I just think it's among a number of issues that, in hindsight, may have been weaknesses in her campaign. It may even be high among that number of issues, but again, it's hard to precisely say.

The sophistry is pretending Biden was any better for Gaza.

It’s the Dems who have fallen so far as to only care about our tax dollars being complicit in war crimes now that there’s a pub in the White House.

And that is why you are SO comfortable in your sophistry. Gosh. There isn't any difference. You have fallen so far, Ous.

I don't want to be ignorant, or intellectually lazy, so please do inform me about whatever you think I'm missing.

But again, I genuinely struggle to understand why news of a president acting like a total psycho about Gaza is only news when Trump does it.

And I initially suggested not getting caught up on the semantics of, "equal," but instead, let's discuss that term. Cuz, as it turns out, any informed intellectual can realize Biden and Trump are NOT equals about Gaza.

To date, realize Biden has been much, much, much, so incredibly MUCH worse about Gaza.

Heck, Biden is a huge part of the reason Gaza was and is such a mess in the first place, and the reason Trump is even in a position to go for this fucked up "clean out" rhetoric now!

I do not know how you, with a straight face, can pretend like Biden was anything less than completely horrific for Gaza.

Anyone who is unwilling or unable to realize that, is the one living in some nonreality.

And let’s not get caught up on semantics like “equally.”

The sophistry is pretending Biden was any better for Gaza.

We are getting caught up on semantics like "equally" because that is an argument you made!

The sophistry is pretending Biden was any better for Gaza.

Arguing that Biden was not "any better" for Gaza is arguing that Biden was, at best, equally bad for Gaza.

If you don't like that dumbass argument criticized, simply don't make it!

But if you do choose to make that dumbass argument, don't move the goalposts as soon as you're criticized for it. And certainly do not blame others for holding you accountable for the argument that you made.
