    Translation: I can’t actually make a proper argument as to how my position does anything to further my goals, so I’m going to pretend I don’t have time… while wasting time on the comments section of a meme making fun of people exactly like me.

    Boop boop. Bloviating idiot detected. Commencing snark protocol.

      Once again, failing to respond to my point, by saying something unrelated. I happen to be a student, that means I can’t type out a whole response to several points while in a class that I need to focus on. You seem to forget that people have lives outside of the internet.

          You may have said what you want to happen, but that had almost nothing to do with my post, which was stating that almost all pro-Palistinians are still voting for Harris, you have continued to not respond to that, instead resulting to Ad Hominem. Maybe if you would just respond to the actual comment, instead of a straw man you’ve created, this argument could be productive.

            You don’t know how to spell Palestinians either. Why am I not surprised. “Resorting” to Ad Hominem attacks, right?

            Are you a Russian troll or something? I refuse to believe anyone out of grade school can be so bad at English. You’re totally not a dum-dum though. I want you to know that.

            Definitely not a dum-dum.

      It is true that the majority of Americans are more favorable of Israel than Palestine, however, according to a recent poll of 1,000 Americans, by YouGov, petitioned by the CEPR, 52% of Americans support an arms embargo on Israel. In another poll by YouGov of 3 swing states, it is shown that in Pennsylvania 34% of respondents said they would be more likely to vote for Harris, compared to 7% who said they’d be less likely to if she vowed to stop supplying weapons to Israel. Similarly, in Arizona it was 35% to 5%, and in Georgia, it was 39% to 5%.

        Polls can be worded to show bias. The primaries showed exactly what the current reality of the situation is. When AIPAC weighs in, the candidate they’re trying to burn loses. They ‘burned’ two members of the squad and left two. The two they chose not to campaign against won their primaries, they two they did? Lost.

        It’s almost like they wanted to send a message. “We can fuck you up, don’t get too far out of line”.

        At least as it stands now, the number of people who are willing to actually show up to vote for congressmen/women that vocally support Palestine isn’t enough to match the funding advantage their opponents will have.

        All the more reason that telling folks to not vote unless they get what they want is counterproductive. No amount of talking and protesting or complaining online matters. The only thing that counts is actually showing up and voting.

          I have never told anyone not to vote, if you recall, my point for this entire comment thread has been that most pro-Palestinians are still going to vote for Harris, it is true that polls can be biases, but seeing as you haven’t provided any sources, I’m going to continue to believe in the ones I provided. I’m pretty sure primaries haven’t happened yet, and unless your talking about ones from last election, I don’t see what you’re talking about. Please give me a source to support your views, and please respond to my point, and not a straw man.
