@ anyone who follows Israel politics, would this Benny Gantz dude winning the election mean anything good outside of Netanyahu losing

Like, I have no idea what "liberal" ostensibly means in the Israeli context and the fact that this dude was the head of the IDF doesn't give me much hope lol

 

Fuck ICE and Nancy Pelosi.

Pepsi v Coke: Palestinians indifferent about Israel's election

Gantz has long portrayed himself as a centrist and even hinted at a vague intention to come to an agreement with the Palestinians. But his broad ideology does not differ hugely from Netanyahu’s: when the Israeli prime minister pledged to annex up to a third of the occupied West Bank, Gantz accused him of stealing his policy.

yeah we should probably all just shut up about this so biden gets nominated and then the talk about it will definitely stop for good

 

You’re the only one I know who seems okay with 2016 all over again because it’ll stick it to the libs or something

 

I have a hunch for our Dead head friend politics is more an opportunity to linger in a fucked state of mind than identify and effect positive change but who knows...

 

Feels like not wanting Biden to get the nomination is precisely the opposite of wanting 2016 to happen all over again? But alright

 

Conflating criticism of the media fucking up all over again with overcoverage of a non-story with wanting Biden to get the nomination is...an argumentative tactic I suppose.

But when you’re dealing with the reality that Joe Biden has been in the lead this whole time and is the most likely individual to win the nomination at this point, it’s definitely worth pointing out that feeding into BS narratives about him is very much not a good idea if beating Trump is at all something you want.

 

I meant to post this and another article I read earlier this week that was basically the democratic version of “we talked to Trump voters in Bill’s Diner out in Johnstown PA” but I forget what it was called now hah

 

Guess we can’t criticize Biden anymore :( was fun while it lasted
