Extremely effective politics to join in on a smear campaign against one of your own but stay mum when your opposition says poo poo that's a million times worse.

axeil posted:I can't believe I'm saying this but Dems Are A Waste. It's really quite simple. At the highest echelons the Democratic Party has become dominated by individuals who have no coherent core ideology or actual bleach set but or however extremely skilled at reading political tealeaves and/or manipulating the existing party apparatus to their favor. This results in empowering a bunch of shallow amoral sociopaths whom in turn treat the entire arena of politics as if it's some sort of game that can only be won by adopting the right public stances at the most opportune time. As myself and numerous other posters in this thread have been trying to say for years, Centrist are lovely self-interestes assholes and will side with the powerful against the weak every single loving time it really matters. That said- welcome to the fold comrade

ZypherIM posted:The uh, linked picture is sort of doing a lovely job of representing the report I think, and the article not much better. This is a disingenuous read of the study, for example, 80% of respondents believed that the rebirth of the Jewish state was due to biblical prophecy. People should just read it themselves. http://lifewayresearch.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/12/Evangelical-Attitudes-Toward-Israel-Research-Study-Report.pdf It's also a poorly conducted study (there are spelling errors in the study write up for example, and a lot of the questions are very poorly written) done by a biased group that exists to sell research to churches. At the end of the day all we really know is that, in addition to a lot of lovely beliefs, some evangelicals support Israel no matter what because of biblical prophecy.

Like Jesus Christ, people. If you feel this passionately about how this is being handled there's something you can do: Call your loving reps! Go protest! Get out there any get your voice heard! Because sitting here on this dead forum complaining about how the democrats aren't listening to you when you're not saying anything makes you part of the problem. (Obviously this doesn't apply to people who are already doing such things.)

The loving criticism of Israel is antisemitism poo poo pisses me off Israel does not represent all jewish people, just like Saudi Arabia doesn't represent all Muslims, and the Vatican doesn't represent all christians; go gently caress yourself. loving Benny has done such an excellent job silencing even outside dissent to his insane apartheid state.

Fritz Coldcockin posted:The maxim "There are good Democrats; there are no good Republicans" remains true. It's this. The dems loving suck and their leadership is like 98% useless cowards, but there are good dems and that number actually got bigger last election. There is literally no good republican in power. I'd wager 99% of republican voters are also bad people but I'm willing to wiggle those numbers around, but no republican who actually has power in this country is a good human being.
