| Topic | What if there was a grocery store where the price you paid was a gamble? |
| Trumble 05/31/24 2:08:52 AM #3 | I mean, to stay in business it's going to at best average out to slightly cheaper than what other stores charge. Plus, what stops someone from attempting a purchase, saying they can't pay if it's too high, and repeating (maybe at different locations) until they get lucky?

I dont think he will change his stance.

In the minds of those making these arguments, these are the options:No, there are three realistic options. Trump, Biden with his current stance, Biden forced by pressure to change his stance. And it's very suspicious that people, some of whom have a track record of questionable posts in general on the Israel/Palestine situation and at least one of whom has posted blatant Islamophobia, are consistently trying to act like the third option doesn't exist or shouldn't be aimed for. --- I fought the Trumble and the Trumble won. |

Feigning ignorance isn't scoring you any points You stated that someone who doesn't want Trump to facilitate genocide should vote for Biden. I asked how you think one should vote if someone wants no one to be facilitating the genocide, rather than just specifically not wanting Trump to facilitate it. In what really can't be explained any way other than you deliberately twisting things in order to have something to be outraged at, you somehow took that as me suggesting that what Trump wanted to do wasn't a big deal. Like, this isn't even a matter of "you didn't mention that side so you must support them". This is you going on an entirely different tangent out of nowhere.

Don't insult centrism by suggesting that crap genuinely represents it. There's three possible explanations - blind devotion to Biden, masked support of Israel, or a genuine belief that there's just no way to get a good outcome. The last one I can sympathize with, but the attitudes some posters have really make me suspect it's one of the other two. (And in a couple of the usual suspects' cases, they have indeed slipped up and exposed themself as pro-Israel in the past, though only one who I've noticed ITT and he basically just dropped one "wahh you don't know what you're talking about" post then vanished.) --- I fought the Trumble and the Trumble won. |

So no matter what happens you concede that Biden isn't going Full Throated genocide?He could absolutely be worse. He could be providing more weapons than he is. He could be not offering the option of "you can just be displaced instead of dead". He could be outright putting US boots on the ground. He could be firing US nukes at the place. But, despite all these possibilites of how he could be far far worse, to many people - and that includes my own view - what he has done is still way, WAY too far to be acceptable. And more importantly as far as the subject of this topic goes - him continuing to do it will lose support, which will result in the very Trump victory you're so (rightly) insistent must be avoided.

So if 100,000 refugees come to America, he did not save those lives? This is your stance?It depends. Would they have still been refugees, would their lives have been in danger, in the first place if it weren't for his actions? If so, then yes, he saved their lives. If not, then no, all he did was partially clean up a mess he created. And in reality?

What does bad for the democrats mean?It means that it is causing them to lose support. And, like, surely by now you've seen enough to realise that just pointing out someone else (that the people who Democrats are losing, don't support either) is worse, is not winning those votes back. Realistically - there are three things that can happen here. Trump wins; Biden wins and continues status quo; Biden wins and improves his handling of this situation. The first one needs to be avoided; I agree completely on that. But the second isn't acceptable either; and the risk of it is causing Biden to lose support that he needs in order for the first to be prevented. Biden is ultimately the only one who can make the third happen; but an attitude of "just tolerate it and try to push people to turn a blind eye who very clearly are not willing to do so" is not going to help lead to that happening. --- I fought the Trumble and the Trumble won. |

So point stands. Trump heinous plans are brought up, they are tossed aside and instead just focus on Biden.Why were they brought up in the first place? The topic wasn't "is Trump or Biden worse", it was "the Israel situation is bad for the Democrats". Also note this part of what you quoted from me: I'm not disputing it's factual.

correct, Trump doesn't get bashed for his Israel policyHe does. The difference is, when he gets bashed for it - or most other things - unless one of the ever-dwindling stock of Trumper CEmen happens to be online at the time, people agree with it and move on. Because it's not remotely in dispute that Trump is evil. It doesn't provoke arguments; it "provokes" people agreeing that yes, he is evil, and moving on with the other subjects of discussion. The end result is that there's a disproportionate amount of posts about Biden, not because anyone thinks he's worse or because people especially hate him, but simply because it's controversial. Indeed, I suspect if there was a third candidate with really good policy, they wouldn't get the same amount of attention as Biden either, because we'd all just be agreeing "yes, this candidate is good" and moving on with other aspects of the discussion. (Obviously, I'm talking about in a scenario where the candidate in question is already established and known as such; one showing up now would be a huge deal that very much would get attention.) --- I fought the Trumble and the Trumble won. |

unfairly bashing BidenSee, that's the thing. A lot of people don't really think it's anything close to "unfairly". We're not talking about something like, say, that case of Justin Trudeau having a few blackface photos when he was a dumbass kid. Yeah, that's wrong, but it's absolutely something someone can grow up, move past, and it's unfair to keep dragging up. We're talking about something that's firstly, currently ongoing, and secondly, is facilitating a literal fucking genocide. It's a bit difficult (though not completely out of the question) to see how anything the former applies to is "unfair", and it's impossible to see how anything the latter applies to is "unfair". --- I fought the Trumble and the Trumble won. |

The big point is whether it should cost him the election. The answer is no because fucking Trump is his opponent.I agree with your answer to whether it should. Here's the big problem: Whether it should and whether it does are not the same thing. And if people have decided this is a red line for them, then yelling "but Trump" at them or accusing them of being secret Trump supporters is not going to change their mind. At best, it achieves nothing. At worst, while the claim that it might push them towards Trump is kinda ridiculous because there's no way anyone who refuses to vote Biden on these grounds could justify voting Trump, it could certianly put them off wanting to even pay attention to the subject and make them even less likely to come back to considering a vote for Biden. "You keep deflecting so I'm gonna vote Trump" is probably a good sign that they were a Trumper in the first place; but "I'm sick of trying to discuss this so I'm disengaging from the subject altogether" is very understandable. --- I fought the Trumble and the Trumble won. |

Honestly, a lot of people (yourself included, though far from only you) seem to be obsessed with the idea that there's a hidden deeper meaning behind everything.

???I never said that in the first place, and for the record, while I would somewhat question if he can achieve what he says, I have zero doubt that he wants to and will try to, which is already more than enough to say fuck no to him. But, what so many of you don't seem to get more than anything, is that very few people are specifically comparing Biden to Trump when they criticize Biden's handling of Israel. They're not talking about "is Biden better or worse than Trump", they're talking about "is Biden's handling good".
