Exactly!

Actually I read many sites from all parts of the political spectrum. I read with great interest the left-wing sites as I want to keep up-to-date on what America's enemies are up to. However, why would I, or anyone, have any interest in an opinion piece from responsiblestatecraft.org written by a self-identified DSA member. A total nobody opining on a site no one ever heard of. If that's the best you can do to prove your point, you lose the argument on a TKO.

I read the post. I also point out the writer is a left-wing, unapologetic member of the DSA. Same as AOC, Tlaib, Bernie, and the rest of the lunatics. Michael Galant (he/him) is the Senior Communications Associate at Win Without War, a diverse network of activists and organizations working for a more peaceful, progressive U.S. foreign policy. Michael is interested in building global solidarity for Left alternatives to neoliberal models of globalization and development. He is a coordinator of the Progressive International — a new initiative to unite, organize, and mobilize global progressive forces behind a shared vision of a world transformed — an active member of the Democratic Socialists of America, and has organized in the global justice, labor, and Palestine solidarity movements. Michael has written for publications including Jacobin, In These Times, and Truthout on such topics as trade, tax avoidance, international financial institutions, corporate accountability, labor internationalism, and more. His politics are of a fringe movement. It is ridiculous to quote him from an unknown site to prove a point. And then use red highlights, as if you were quoting the Gettysburg Address. Period. Case closed.

Thanks for again acknowledging your limited comprehension. Although that was made clear when you admitted that you were unfamiliar with the Rafah Crossing. Now that you have displayed that you rely on unsourced statistics from responsiblestatecraft.org, an unknown and little read website, one can only imagine what source you will be using next to prop up your losing argument. The Onion? Mad Magazine? lol Oh, and here's a free helpful hint... Red highlights don't make your point any stronger. It merely emphasizes your total failure to prove whatever point you are trying to make.

Clearly you are unable to grasp my point. So I'll try one more time. But I am not hopeful given the fact that I am dealing with someone who posts ad nauseum on the Gaza situation yet never heard of the Rafah crossing between Gaza and Egypt. Citing unsourced and unverified statistics from a long-winded article contained in an unknown, little-read website, and then doing a copy and paste with red highlights proves NOTHING other than your lack of ability to engage in any form of intelligent dialog. Your continual referencing of responsiblestatecraft.org as if it were the NYTimes or any other legitimate source on the right or left is truly stunning.

I wasn't the author of the article, so I don't have to prove anything. There are ZERO specifics. Not one country is named. Not even an area. The article is a joke. Not surprising that you would resort to citing an opinion piece from a website that nobody reads and most people never heard of. Actually it's more pathetic than laughable.

There is nothing original in this post. It is simply a copy and paste from responsiblestatecraft.org. lol. Circulation of about 12? I guess you think red highlighting to excerpts from an unknown, little read website makes your point any stronger. Au contraire. Not one specific. Merely platitudes and generalizations. The fact is that when Trump was President, Russian troops stayed within their borders, there were no Hamas massacres and terrorism in the middle east, the southern border was not out of control, Also Trump was the midwife to the Abraham Accords. The world is unquestionably far more dangerous under Dementia Joe Biden, who is an absolute disaster.

Donald Trump displays more energy in a day than Dementia Joe Biden does in a month. As for mental awareness, Dementia Joe Biden barely has the alacrity to summon his aides when it is time to change his diaper.

I'd still rather be ahead by 6 than trailing by 6. Biden's dementia and other infirmities will continue to worsen in 2024. Will he be campaigning from a Delaware nursing home in 2024? Also, Jill Stein's and Cornell West's campaigns will be getting off the ground next year as the hard left seeks alternatives to Dementia Joe. Trump's lead will increase exponentially.

So if there were no declared Republican candidates at the time, you are comparing apples to oranges. One poll merely registers enthusiasm for a candidate and the other poll is an actual snapshot of an election comparing the 2 front-runners. This concept is clearly difficult for you to comprehend. And while you're chewing on that, here's another poll that just came out yesterday.... Trump by 4 in a two-way race. Trump by 6 in a four-way race. And this poll is from Emerson, another firm, like the NY Times, not friendly to Trump. Touche!

The link you provided has a firewall so it cannot be seen. However, based on the headline, it did not say that Obama was trailing, and trailing outside of the polls margin of error like the current NYTimes/Siena poll states. It merely says his support is eroding. HUGE difference between the two.

There will not only be a ban, but Trump promised there will be a massive deportation of all those here illegally. And that promise will help propel him into the White House. Ramaswamy promised to deport all illegals in 12-15 months. Trump will do it in 6-12 months. Vivek Ramaswamy Says He'll Deport All Undocumented Immigrants In U.S. Within 12 To 15 Months | Watch (msn.com)

Exactly my point. If left-wing, Trump hating NY Times has Trump ahead by 6, his real lead is probably double that.

Looks like you forgot to post one jpeg: And it's not just the NY Times/Siena poll, it's FOX, Harvard/Harris, Quinnipiac, Yahoo, Marquette, etc. EVERY legitimate polling organization has Trump ahead. And when RFK Jr., Jill Stein, and Cornell West are factored into the deal, Trump's lead only increases. If/when Manchin enters the race, that should ensure a Trump landslide. https://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/2024/president/us/general-election-trump-vs-biden-7383.html https://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/2024/president/us/general_election_trump_vs_biden_vs_kennedy_vs_west_vs_stein-8329.html Make sure to get all of your Trump/2024 jpegs handy... about 4 years worth! l

And you not only don't realize how hateful and racist you are but your false equivalencies between the Hamas terrorism and Israel's war of defense is beyond mind-boggling. How many posters of kidnapped babies have you torn down?

You are the expert on hate. Every time you get behind your keyboard to type on this forum, you spew it out... in generous proportions. Still waiting to hear what would you would think the fate would be for one of your buddies in Hamas if they furled out a gay pride flag during their massacre in southern Israel? Also, how many posters of kidnapped Israeli children have you ripped down?

Of course you don't want to answer. when it is YOUR bigotry and hypocrisy that has been exposed. Your vile attacks against the only democracy in the middle east, which is also the most diverse. It is a nation where gays, women, and all minorities enjoy equality. Btw, the Speaker of the Israeli Knesset is gay. Care to name any members of the Palestine National Assembly that are gay? And coming from this forum's Number 1 Hamas-supporting, Jew-hating, Israel-basher, I will consider your words as a compliment and wear it as a feather in my cap. Tear down any posters of babies being held hostage lately?

Wrong........ again! There is NO equivalence between the massacres committed by Hamas and Israel's war of defense. You can continue to try to make one, but it holds no water. Hamas' aim was to to kill and torture as many innocent Israelis as they could while taking a few hundred as hostages to use as bargaining chips. The IDF's aim is the opposite. It is to minimize civilian deaths. If Israel were to use the same tactics as your Hamas friends, there would be no Gaza left. It would have been wiped off the map. Every civilian Gazan killed is due to Hamas. There will be no cease-fire until Hamas is totally eradicated. And btw, still waiting for your response to my question. What would have been fate of a Hamas soldier if he unfurled a Hamas Pride flag?

Israeli Arabs are not drafted into the IDF; however, many volunteer to serve: https://www.bbc.com/news/world-middle-east-37895021

There is no mass murdering. Unlike your beloved Hamas, the IDF does not target innocent civilians. Nobody wants to see civilian deaths. Especially the Israelis. And if you want to minimize civilian deaths, tell your buddies in Hamas to stop hiding in hospitals, schools, and residential areas. Until that happens (don't hold your breath since we know what cowards Hamas is), the blame for every Gazan casualty lies at the feet of your friends in Hamas. Gay Israeli soldier proudly displays LGBTQ flag on Gaza soil in war against Hamas https://nypost.com/2023/11/13/news/gay-israeli-solder-yoav-atzmoni-proudly-displays-lgbtq-flag-on-gaza-soil-in-war-against-hamas/ More proof that the IDF, like Israel itself, is the most diverse army in the region., perhaps in the world. Sephardi Jews, Ashkenazi Jews, Muslim Arabs, Christian Arabs, Druze, women, and gays who are out and proud all serve in the IDF Care to speculate on the fate of one of your beloved Hamas soldiers if he displayed the Pride emblem on a Hamas flag?

And poll after poll shows that Americans overwhelming support Israel: https://thehill.com/policy/international/4283393-nearly-half-of-americans-sympathize-more-with-israelis-in-war-with-hamas-poll/ https://www.rasmussenreports.com/public_content/politics/biden_administration/u_s_voters_back_netanyahu_reject_calls_for_gaza_ceasefire The handful of Israel-hating posters here are no more representative than are the Hamas-loving Palestinian flag-waving radical protestors. You guys are outliers. Just a loud tiny minority.

The fact that there are a few other Hamas-supporting, Israel-hating posters out there? proves nothing. I don't judge the legitimacy of my posts based on the # of likes I get. How about we judge our posts based on the number of lies? You'd get 1,000,000 likes!

Speaks for itself........ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rafah_Border_Crossing

Changing the subject doesn't change the facts. You are either truly ignorant or a blatant liar. You choose. "Israel controls ALL access to Gaza including its borders, airspace, and territorial waters" Then when you are confronted with the facts, that indeed Egypt controls access to Gaza thru its common border with Gaza, rather than admit you lied (or are simply ignorant) you backtrack, digress, and behave like a typical 5-year old. lol. In your pathetic attempt to change the subject, you say, what I really meant was that Israel controls Egypt too. lol. BTW, is Egypt occupied Israeli territory too? Everyone reading your posts now realizes that you have ZERO credibility, you don't have any idea what you are talking about, and you are a pathological liar. Care to compound your lies with more distractions, lies, and excuses? Bring it on!
