    I’ve never voted in an election where I wasn’t voting for policies I disagree with.

    These kids need better civics education so they know we don’t get nice things in America.

      Genocide as a policy you can respectfully disagree with

        The only illusion is that genocide was ever not an American policy. Talk to a Native American about it.

              Republicans say the dumbest shit ever, but it’s also incredibly stupid to believe that would actually happen. Nuking Gaza would mean fallout hitting Israel, it’s not something that would ever be approved.

                    Ah, because a weapon hasn’t been used against people yet, it can never be used against people in the future, right?

                  Considering how close they are, yes it is. If you’re going to be pedantic, at least explain how I’m wrong. Regardless, Israel doesn’t want Palestine itself irradiated because they plan on stealing that land anyway.

                    If you do it right, most of the fallout is whisked away into the upper atmosphere, and if you’re bombing somewhere that you have air superiority, you can even wait for favorable wind and atmospheric conditions where it won’t blow back at you.

                    they plan on stealing that land anyway

                    That’s the real reason neither Israel nor the US will nuke Palestine

              If you care about Palestinians as you claim, you should listen to them.

                The Palestinians understand that however bad Biden may be, Trump would be worse. Those are the only two options that exist.
