Did you even read the post?

The more pressure there is to change course, the more likely it is Biden or Harris will have to do something or risk losing to Trump.

If they won't do or commit to do the things their voters are demanding of them, they deserve to be "hurt politically". What use is a politician who disregards the will of the people? If we can't draw a line at genocide, then what is the point of "lesser evil" voting?

Also I have seen zero evidence of anyone on the right speaking out against this administration's handling of Gaza.

Thanks for clarifying, I had a feeling the context might be something like that.

Nah, let's not pretend Biden is going to do anything cool. I think we all see him for what he is.

American "justice" system at work. This really makes my blood boil to read. I hope this law is overturned, it's beyond absurd - its also malicious.

I think the implications are pretty clear when you read between the lines of painting your political enemies as pedophiles. It's a very easy way to rile people up into a lynch mob. Here's the fascist playbook on this: target a minority (LGBTQ in particular) as some kind of deviant or predator, legitimize vigilante violence against this group, extend that to the next group or anyone who tries to defend the first group. Rinse and repeat until you are able to consolidate power and successfully kill or imprison your political enemies with impunity.

You clearly have a misconception of what socialism is. Socialism does not mean sit around and collect benefits from the government. It means that workers (yes, people who WORK) own the means of production, rather than the do-nothing capitalist class which makes money parasitically from simply owning things.

Your mistake is in framing landlord as a job.

Couldn't agree more. "Economy" is just code for rich people's stocks at this point.

I love this take on religion.
Parallels with the "stupid or evil" assessment I always have to do for conservatives in general

Ah, this must be so they can "legally" keep killing aid workers. Truly, the most moral army in the world.
