  1. There's an 83% chance that she would be the lone non-Kaleb vote in that scenario, unnecessarily putting a HUGE target on her back. There's no upside there, and I'm sure even Kaleb would tell her to write his name down in that scenario. I know the edit tried to make it seem like it was Emily vs J in the revote, but the actual votes made it clear that J was the obvious next in line to go and there was no true danger to Emily.
  2. Yeah, he'll lose far more than just Michigan if he does what many on the far left want him to do.
  3. something something ceasefire
  4. It is an interesting read, and I would agree that here in America I am much more likely to be killed by a right wing "Heil Hitler" type of antisemite, and they would broadcast as much. But globally, antisemitism more closely resembles what we see many on the left hide behind - "It's Israel, not the Jews" while making no discernable effort to distinguish between the two. (All of this IMO and largely anecdotal, of course.)
  5. To be fair, I'd vote for Hunter a million times before I voted for Mike.
  6. The people who want to kill Jews do not differentiate, which is the point I’ve made repeatedly in this thread.
  7. We’ve got “Hell Hitler” being broadcast on Atlanta highways and Jewish manhunts taking place in Russian airports, but I’m sure everything will turn cool for us Jews globally if Israel puts down its weapons.
  8. It’s not the majority by any means, but I have seen quite a few “I support resistance by any means necessary” comments from American leftists. It’s essential to emphasize the difference between Hamas and Palestine, but you guys gotta know what is being said out there before you flatly deny it.
  9. (Y’all are in the fucking World Series, Adolis has been a monster, and my team shit the bed. If any of you think these posts in the fucking Hate thread are genuine, you are as dumb as you are sensitive.)
  10. Imagine needing extra innings to beat the Diamondbacks lol
  11. If Adolis was really clutch, he would have avoided breaking his hand there.
  12. There’s no sources anyone can trust, by design. One thing I do trust, the comments under this Bernie tweet should be a giant wake up call to all the people trying to claim anti-Zionism is completely separate from antisemitism.
  13. Spoiler https://truthout.org/articles/genocide-is-underway-in-gaza-us-leaders-can-no-longer-say-we-didnt-know/ I am in no way calling Israel the beacon of truth, but how can anyone site any numbers from the Palestinian health authority with a straight face?
  14. For seven seasons, a trip to the World Series has gone through Houston. Don’t call it a dynasty if it helps you sleep at night, but everyone has had their sights set on the same team for close to a decade now. Who gives a fuck about the nomenclature.
  15. You're obviously free to form an opinion, just make sure you caveat that this opinion is already filtered down to those that have chosen to discuss the topic on that particular forum. That is not a representative basis for the population as a whole. Echoing Skipper's point, would you want someone from another country drawing definitive conclusions about Texans based on Texags?
  16. "you" meaning the greater you and not you specifically... although I have seen many instances (again, not from you) of blatant antisemitism hidden behind "anti-zionism is not antisemitism!!" It's not a get out of jail free card. I appreciate your honesty, but this is an INSANE statement. Seeing someone create a definitive opinion of an entire group of people based off of folks you meet in a message board is truly very worrisome.
  17. If you're going to ask the Israelis to differentiate between the leaders and the civilians of Palestine, then you gotta do the same in return.
  18. "The sight of dead children does not phase Israelis" is an insanely broad generalization, incorrect, and not helpful in any way to this discussion.
  19. To me, it appears that Biden is toeing the line between support of an ally and not-alienating the groups that sympathize with their adversary quite well, but then I log onto Twitter and you'd think he was donning an IDF uniform and personally murdering Palestinians. I know I am not an unbiased when it comes to this issue, so I genuinely ask: what the hell am I missing?
  20. As a Jew, I’m obviously sensitive to stuff like this and not at all coming from a place of neutrality, but can anyone explain how ripping photos of Israeli hostages from public areas advances the cause? Can anyone explain how breaking the windows of local Jewish owned businesses advances the cause? Can anyone explain how trapping Jewish American college students inside a library while banging on the doors and taunting them advances the cause? I think Putin is a monster and I think Ukraine is 100% in the right in that battle, but if I stumbled upon a display of missing Russian citizens I wouldn’t think in a million years to deface it or try to tear it down. Why the hell do so many unaffiliated third parties feel it is acceptable in this case? There’s one time-tested answer that comes to mind, but I’ve been assured that can’t be the case so I guess we’ll never know.
  21. Oh, so he's CRAZY crazy https://www.shreveporttimes.com/story/news/2018/09/18/louisiana-congressman-says-atheists-spy-bossiers-christian-students/1347673002/
