  Damn soldier, you have a lot of luxury commenting from the front line.

  Lmk how abstaining strategy is working. Read the part I wrote about living to fight another day.

  Maybe take your brain out of the box and wear it.

    Brain in a box literally posts like someone doing the exact thing I’m talking about. Funny huh?

      Wdym? that Box Brain wants to keep the genocide going by demonizing those that would oppose it? I’ve literally asked him what his plan is instead, but he keeps purity testing and insisting he is not a troll. I re-stated my position in a few words for clarity and wanting to be understood.

        Yeah exactly. He’s clearly just a troll trying to get leftists/liberals to sit out because ISSUE wasn’t immediately addressed. Literally that’s a right wing tactic. Lol.

        You are lying about me because I disagreed with you.

      In that you consider anyone disagreeing with you to be bad faith. You are an authoritarian.

        Naw I just consider ‘people’ like you who have selfish and completely shallow values to be holding them in bad faith ;)

    And you are on the front line? What is your point?

    And no, Democrats give Palestinians no better chance of fighting another day, that just give liberals a license to pretend the genocide isn’t happening.

    Maybe you should take your brain out of your skull and wear it.

      This is the perfect example of the purity test OP was talking about.

      Two people who couldn’t be more clear in their comments how disgusted they are by this obvious ongoing genocide, but yet completely powerless to do anything about it.

      One person wants to use the little power they have to steer the country as far away from genocide as they can, and the other who sees that the game is rigged and wants no part in the government claiming their consent.

      What’s unfortunate is that you’re directed all you anger at each other since neither knows how to direct it at the people in power.

      Democrats give Palestinians no better chance of fighting another day, that just give liberals a license to pretend the genocide isn’t happening.

      “Democrats” are not a monolith. Criticize the democrats all you want when they deny the genocide, but when we have candidates saying the following, it does feel like you’re being overly pessimistic about what allies you actually do have available to you inside this broken party:

      “As we speak, in this moment, 1.1 million innocents in Gaza are at famine’s door,” Ocasio-Cortez said in her speech Friday. “A famine that is being intentionally precipitated through the blocking of food and global humanitarian assistance by leaders in the Israeli government.”

      “If you want to know what an unfolding genocide looks like,” the New York Democrat added, “open your eyes.”

        I’m comfortable “purity testing” active genocide.

        Two people who couldn’t be more clear in their comments how disgusted they are by this obvious ongoing genocide, but yet completely powerless to do anything about it.

        Only one of them is committing genocide denial.

        I’m angry at people who do genocide denial

        Criticize the democrats all you want when they deny the genocide

        I am, and I’m being told that I’m “purity testing”

        but when we have candidates saying the following

        And yet she activity supported the people committing this genocide. And even she is the absolute fringe of the democrats. The ones actually running for president support Israel fully.

      I’m telling you to put up or shut up. Making purity tests for what is a good ally for those actually dying is insanely tone deaf.

        Then put up or shut up yourself, genocide supporter.

        Making purity tests for what is a good ally

        I’m comfortable saying that “people who actively commit genocide” aren’t good allies.
