People are avoiding him because to do otherwise is to feed the troll.

No one who uses the argument that there are more covid deaths under Biden than Trump is arguing in good faith. If you don’t understand the reason for that you are not capable of a discussion.

If you are arguing that Biden made Covid policy decisions for the economy over safety and somehow believe Trump would not, you are not arguing in good faith. The difference is Biden has advisors and weighs the nuanced effects, like any rational intelligent human being, whereas Trump would do Trump things.

There is no need to dissect the policy for this guy.

It’s magically even worse than that.

How could a state both turnout to enshrine abortion into the state constitution AND go Republican?

That’s a whole new level of dumb I didn’t know existed

Roe v Wade still existed in less contentious times.

Hezbollah has invaded Israel’s space with their rockets

If it was possible for terrorists to explode cell phones in the US they would have already done so.

There is no way to distinguish those arguing in good faith vs those who are trolling or arguing in bad faith, because all those parties use the same flawed arguments.

Just assume everyone making those arguments are just Maga trolls trying to siphon votes away from democrats. Saves your sanity

If Obama didn’t push for ACA, we would not be at this point we are now. Even if he did not succeed to get everyone on board, he moved the needle. The conversion is steering in the right direction.

And like the other replier said, the president sets the guidance for congress and their party. They make it clear what they want to pass and what won’t pass, then congress will work towards those goals/ compromises. Ex, If the president clearly indicates she is pro choice, any anti abortion legislation is going to be vetoed so no one is spending political capital trying to push for it, grandstand aside.

Because there is no discernable difference between you telling an honest story about your Turkish coworkers and a racist using online anonymity to rile people up against minorities.

Obama, Biden

So you think AGI fears are overblown, but want the employees to back the coup of a company because of these same AGI fears?

Why don't we just trust the employees are intelligent human beings that have more context and decided Altman was a good boss? Or at the very least would be a better boss than whatever clusterfuck comes after him?

And most people decided that, rather than spend a lot of money to own a collection of movies in tech that will eventually be obsolete, they'd rather pay a subscription for a bigger library that meets most of their needs.

Whatever helps you sleep at night.

The problem is pro-Palestinian side trying to claim that illegal detention and collateral damage from war is equal to terrorist operations that intentionally targeted massacres of civilians.

That doesn't work for anyone with a sense of nuance and common sense.

The world will continue to side with the group that isn't hunting down innocent people in their homes and at festivals.

Ignoring the false statements you are making. If you want the world to support you, don't commit acts of terror on civilians.

This should never be a "benefit" nor is it a "benefit" to any other group of people.

Then don't harbor terrorists. It obviously wasn't a "benefit" to the Israelis who were murdered now was it?

If they actually cared about that? What is that supposed to mean? Sounds to me like you are making shitty generalizations about Palestinians.

If Hamas cared about civilian casualties, they would never have kidnapped and executed civilians. If they cared about civilian casualties, they would negotiate their surrender.

If you're trying to spotlight Israel's treatment of Palestinians and hoping to garner sympathy, you're not going to have much success when the current world event topic is "Palestinians (Hamas) murdered and taken hostage innocent Israeli civilians."

In your example above, Israel takes all while Palestinians just get "prisoners" back (prisoners that are not really being tried for anything, a literal war crime, so for all intents and purposes they are not detained under any reasonable law and they don't have the most basic of rights)… and Palestine gets nothing.

Palestine also get the benefit of not having their cities ravaged while Israel troops hunt down enemy combatants. They get to keep some semblance of an autonomous nation. They also minimize civilian casualties in their end, if they actually cared about that.

Seems to me like maybe Israel should negotiate with terrorists if it means less dead civilians. But Israel doesn't care about that. And this is why we are here today.

It's very hard to make the argument that Israel should care about less dead civilians when the other side specifically targets civilians. I'm not sure why you keep expecting Israel to negotiate with restraint when they have no incentive to negotiate at all.

What will happen if Israel does not come to the table? Hamas will kill innocent people? And if Israel negotiates and comes to peace with Hamas, the killing will stop? History shows otherwise.

And since that killing innocent part already happens, there's nothing left to bargain for is there?

I also take issue with the fact that bringing accountability to Hamas for what happened is considered one sided negotiations for Israel. How is justice for a terrorist act considered a total victory?

I didn't suggest any plan leading to a joint county solution.

You know what would not even remotely lead to such a solution? Kidnapping and murdering civilians.

Just so we're clear, everyone loses here. But Israel is not going to negotiate with terrorists, nor should they.
