    I was trying to stay on subject and not follow you down the “what about this possible future” rabbit hole. I’m not a multiverse guy. Today’s actions bears tomorrow’s fruit. This support of genocide is making for rotten choices

      I was trying to stay on subject and not follow you down the “what about this possible future” rabbit hole.

      Oh, I’m sorry, you’re right, it’s absolutely ridiculous to consider one of the only two realistic possibilities of the outcome of this coming election. I really must be overworking some poor folk’s brains here.

        I know some people only can hold 2 ideas at a time but there are more than more choices that are available at the current point in time.

        Here is one:

        Option 3: Biden and his administration stops supporting Israel, and he gains support for literally doing nothing

          That would be great. I very much hope that the protests push him into that.

          However, Option 3 is not an option you or I pull the lever on. Option 3 is an option that Biden must choose, and as much as I’d like to slip him some subliminal messaging in his morning coffee to convince him, ultimately, neither of us can make that decision the way we can make the decision who to vote for.

          So if election day comes, and Option 3 hasn’t activated, you are looked at Option 1 or Option 2. And if you think “Well, I don’t MIND fascism” is in any way a moral decision at that point, then I absolutely will respond with the utmost disgust.

            Yet, commenting about the support of genocide is too much lol

              Oh, I’m regularly involved in doing ‘too much’ then. Perhaps I shall flagellate myself.

                  If you’re making a statement on my activity (“Yet, commenting about the support of genocide is too much lol”) then I would expect you to have some familiarity, if you were not just making shots in the dark in an attempt to seem like you understood more than you actually did.
