  1. Can you explain to me what exactly about their tactics is wrong? It seems like their request is a very reasonable one. How exactly are they harming the goal of a cease fire?
  2. Well shit we hit the nail on the head. Better give up, what's a little genocide funded by our government after all?
  3. To be clear I said in the other thread that asking them to endorse is entirely fair and that they should. Yes we know what's going on. You're not the smartest person in the room, relax.
  4. File this one under exhibit one million of the weirdly aggressively hostile othering that Palestinian people face in Western countries, aka what I was talking about in the DNC thread. Everyone knows you can't trust "them" is certainly an uplifting message.
  5. Ok cool I get it, thanks.
  6. I hope it's Tommy Tuberville tied to a cuck chair
  7. I don't even understand what you mean when you say you believe in politics. Everything is politics. Nothing changes without politics. I'm honestly unsure of what you're trying to say here. I'm not trying to be argumentative, I just don't get it. You're referencing MLK here and you clearly understand his philosophy about protests: They need to be disruptive and make people uncomfortable while also being strictly non-violent. That's the ONLY way any protest is ever effective. And yet, despite this, you finish off by saying you hope that they stay within their designated spaces and are not disruptive. This is the disconnect I keep hammering on with regard to the discourse around these protests. The rules put in place with regard to when, where, and how protestors can operate are there for one reason only: To diminish the effectiveness and minimize their voice. It is never in the establishment's best interest to make protesting their actions easier.
  8. They should endorse, they know it's in their best interest, and they probably won't get a spot without it. I'm all for calling for Democrats to grow a spine, and they seem to be doing that, but they're not going to let you speak at this DNC if you're going to be perceived as negative about Kamala. Plus there's still this weird climate around any conversation regarding Israel where many otherwise progressive people are still super weirdly aggressively hostile toward anyone that's championing that cause, see a few of the recent posts in this thread.
  9. You're against borders? How progressive of you!
  10. Oh shit nevermind, this isn't a bug. I didn't realize it was a reshuffle tournament.
  11. Dug up the hand history on my hard drive, emphasized the important parts. 3c clearly dealt to me preflop and also on the river, so I guess that means it probably wasn't a UI bug. No word yet from ACR support. If any of you wants to post it on 2p2 if you have an account, feel free.
  12. You hold pretty good opinions about most things. I don't think you're a bad guy. I'm just pointing out one instance in which you went wild in one of the examples you gave about being shouted down. Also "this place" is the 2nd most active board on Surly, behind football, and has thousands of unique posters and lurkers. It has to be the most active politics boards out there (if not the most active) on a fundamentally sports-centric message board, so I'm not sure as many as you think are avoiding it.
  13. Idk about those other topics, but I member when you negged me for saying that Hamas doesn't represent Palestinians any more than Netanyahu represents Jewish people and then flipped your lid and said everyone supporting a ceasefire was a terrorist sympathizer. Could be crazy, but that's why you might have been "shouted down". Don't worry, your boy Macklemore had your back, though.
  14. Since we're airing make-believe grievances, maybe Huston wants to come out and throw his hat in the ring? @Horn75
  15. https://www.haaretz.com/israel-news/2024-08-21/ty-article/.premium/netanyahus-war-goal-is-not-the-hostages-return-its-the-occupation-of-gaza/00000191-7477-d7fc-ab93-f67774cb0000
  16. I don't have an account over there, always just lurked. I did @ ACR on Twitter and emailed their support.
  17. Can you imagine how pissed off PRONG HORN is gonna be when he wakes up soon in Moscow?
  18. Yeah and if you like sunflower seeds you're a guaranteed psychopath
  19. It's not like people want Joe Biden to delete Israel from the map. Putting pressure on Bibi to act like less of a piece of shit isn't harming Israel nor will it cost Harris any votes.
  20. Forgot to add a little context. If you're wondering why that other player scooped the pot, this is PLO8, I folded preflop to a bunch of raising.
  21. There's a credible report that Trump is trying to do an end-around with another world leader to hurt his opponent in the election. That's not relevant to the election? I guess not if you're a crybaby bitch.
