“This is B.S.—you were doing this as a dilatory tactic to help your political friend,” says Rachel Maddow on the Supreme Court agreeing to hear the Trump immunity argument, delaying his coup trial. “And for you to say that this is something that the Court needs to decide because it’s something that’s unclear in the law is just flagrant, flagrant bullpucky.”

    I’ve been told by numerous Democrats that I should be voting for them despite their complicity in the genocide of the Palestinian people, because of all the things they’re getting done. They could literally get anything they want done to protect abortion and LGBT people and they choose not to, while the genocide continues anyways.

      You’ve been told that the GOP will accelerate and increase the suffering of the Palestinian people. This remains to be true. If you’re voting only on that issue the Democratic Party is the best choice for preventing more death and destruction in Gaza. If you have an argument for how the GOP will improve the situation in Gaza I’m all ears, but I’m pretty certain you don’t.

      Biden and a good chunk of the Democrats are wrong on how we are handling the crisis in Gaza. They are also our best shot at helping the Palestinian people (electorally). Both things can be true simultaneously.

        This is literally just good cop/bad cop where the assertion that the good cop is ‘better’ is just some guys telling me ‘trust me bro the other guys worse’ despite his far lower body count
