@ThePaulAllens @MosabHasanYOSEF No, you.

[Sooner Spirit @SoonerSpirit94]

@ThePaulAllens @MosabHasanYOSEF What is the expected result when the other party has jettisoned policy positions altogether in favor of doing whatever Trump says?

When the GOP became reactionary, the Dems became conservatives out of necessity.

@CaptainD72 @dillyaali @ZombieSlay26 @temppreacher @MurraySuggests Bloodthirst is repugnant, and you are obviously afflicted with it.

[Sooner Spirit @SoonerSpirit94]

@evanwch @putxiwhipped5 Do you believe you have the same political power as Elon Musk?

How about the owner of the biggest car dealership, wherever you reside?

I mean...look at this!

@CaptainD72 @dillyaali @ZombieSlay26 @temppreacher @MurraySuggests Ok, asassination sympathizer.

[Sooner Spirit @SoonerSpirit94]

@dillyaali @CaptainD72 @ZombieSlay26 @temppreacher @MurraySuggests "Our asassinations were just!"

Seriously, we asassinated Soliemani...what is the proper response to that?

If Iran, for example, had the IRGC killed Mark Esper with a targeted drone strike while on his visit to Baghdad in 2019, what would/should the US have done in response?

[Sooner Spirit @SoonerSpirit94]

@dharv007 @temppreacher @MurraySuggests What?

We were at war with them for 3 years. 35,000 Americans lost their lives in said conflict and over 100,000 more were wounded.

@grok @auxenic @MurraySuggests Would stockpiling uranium in an effort to deter military intervention be a peaceful purpose, in your view?

[Sooner Spirit @SoonerSpirit94]

@MYOHMYreal @mehdirhasan No, but they've convinced you that Platner's past behavior makes him somehow more problematic than ANYONE that has enabled and/or denied the ongoing genocide perpertated by Israel.

How does that moral calculus actually work?

[Sooner Spirit @SoonerSpirit94]

@ijbailey What could Platner have possibly done in his past the wouldn't be a "lesser evil," when compared to enabling or denying the genocide currently being perpetrated by the Israeli state?

[Sooner Spirit @SoonerSpirit94]

@MohammadsRadio @Timodc Thoughts on where support for the genocide in Gaza ranks, comparatively?

[Sooner Spirit @SoonerSpirit94]

@clusterbitch_ No.

Graham Platner could shoot an old lady in the middle of fifth Avenue and STILL be the "lesser evil," when compared to a candidate actively enabling or denying an ongoing genocide.

[Sooner Spirit @SoonerSpirit94]

@estherzelda0514 No.

In actuality, the left has determined that a lesser evil calculus will ALWAYS favor the individual that refuses to deny genocide or enable it.

Hard to argue against it, honestly.

[Sooner Spirit @SoonerSpirit94]

@David_L_Potts @CTprogressive_ @DavidAFrench *asassinated

[Sooner Spirit @SoonerSpirit94]

@DavidAFrench None of what you mentioned, even when combined, comes close to the moral repugnance of enabling and denying the current genocide perpetrated by the state of Israel.

Feel free to present a coherent argument to the contrary.

[Sooner Spirit @SoonerSpirit94]

@19AnthonyG89 @RaymonScannell @neeratanden @KayeSteinsapir Precisely!

You know what IS antisemitic, though?

Conflating the actions of the state of Israel as the actions of Jews.

[Sooner Spirit @SoonerSpirit94]

@neeratanden People that deny Israel's current genocide are no different than those that deny the holocaust.

[Sooner Spirit @SoonerSpirit94]

@AdamT_Brown @abenbaker @ChrisCillizza Are any of those as problematic as, "refuses to acknowledge the obvious genocide being perpetrated by the state of Israel?"

How so?

[Sooner Spirit @SoonerSpirit94]

@ethansteininger @rich_toronto In your hypothetical, it's a 51/49 split?

Weird to think that was somehow implied.

If, however, the remaining states decided to ratify an amendment allowing their secession, which is how I envision such a change, what woukd be your argument against it?

[Sooner Spirit @SoonerSpirit94]

@ethansteininger @rich_toronto Absolutely.

If that's what Texas were to decide.

Do you believe differently, for some reason?

If so, why?
