Well yeah, but we were talking about the swing states. And I looked up Wayne County which contains Detroit and Dearborn. 100K people of Arab descent. I don't know what the polling shows or the exact political trends among those people, but yeah, on second thoughts, given how tight Michigan has been, Gaza could well be decisive if enough of them withheld their vote. And it is those I was referring to.

Like yourself, my vote in NY doesn't really matter (if it does, Biden is in very, very serious trouble!). Theirs does.

I think you're overestimating the effects of Gaza inside the US. Especially as Trump is even worse.

May not mean people vote for Trump but a lot of die hard democrats and anti Trumpers in this area saying they won't vote for Biden ever again. If that sentiment is in some of the swing states it might be all That is needed.

Given the tight margins in the past two elections, you're right, it won't take much, which is why I'm pissed off that Biden didn't stand aside. I just don't personally see GAZA being the decisive issue as opposed to perceptions about the economy or the border, but we'll see. I guess it all adds up.

But anyone who withholds their vote for Biden on Gaza is basically handing that issue and everything else over to Trump and all that he is going to unleash. I hope they're content with that choice.

Perhaps you weren't around the gaaboard at the time theskull1, but there was pretty much unanimous opposition to and condemnation here of the actions of the US in the Middle East in the 2000s.

Just because the US are correctly, at least until next January, supporting the Ukrainians, doesn't mean that people can't at the same time remember and condemn their violent and destabilizing actions around the world in the past.

Quote from: Jell 0 Biafra on May 30, 2024, 11:38:27 PMThe people donating were always going to vote for him.  So this doesn't change anything for them.  What matters is how it affects swing voters in 5 or 6 competitive states.

Which is where Biden's pride is going to screw the country. Had he stood aside, the Dems would have a fresh face on the ballot and Trump would either have been jettisoned too or would be staring at a hammering.

Quote from: Mourne Red on May 30, 2024, 11:27:07 PMTrumps donation websites crashing due to traffic on them. If he's still allowed to run in November today has just won him the Presidency

He tried to steal an election and attempted a coup. He was found guilty of sexual assault in civil court. He has courted the support of violent right wing extremists in a presidential debate. What's a little felony falsification of business records to hide a payoff to a pornstar?

Some piece of work. No question he's the worst president in the history of United states of America.

Yet, with the current state of the world, he's a good bet to double down on that. We could be in for a dark next five years.

Yet all the war started after he left office??

He set the table for Putin and Ukraine.

He emboldened the Israeli extreme right by moving the embassy to Jerusalem and rubber stamping the annexation of the West Bank.

He managed all of those in the first 10 secs of his statement.

A lot of projection there, as always.

Believe me, people tell me I'm the guiltiest person they've ever seen; no one has ever been as guilty as me; they say Donald, please stop, it's crazy that anyone could be as guilty as you!

Quote from: Rossfan on May 29, 2024, 06:48:36 PMI see war criminal Netanyahu saying the destruction and child murders will continue till the end of the year.
A gang of snivelling Yank Senators
licking his behind abd promising to always help him in his war crimes and child murder campaign.

Co-incides with US Election

*Glass Shatters*

Stone Cold Theme hits and Big Don who's been re-elected comes down the ramp to hit a Stunner on Netanyahu and tell him to stop acting the twat

Of all the outcomes of Trump getting re-elected, him putting the breaks on the Netanyahu regime is about the least plausible.

Quote from: theskull1 on May 28, 2024, 02:05:57 PMMaybe you need to question your world view for a minute.

Every westernized country in the world moved in lock step with very similar policies and the shutting down of dissenting voices. It's not unreasonable to look for common denominators and I see this as a valid one to question. Is here something inaccurate about the information in the tweet?

Same is happening with the US and Euro leadership siding with Israel's blatant genocide in Gaza. Should I be embarrassed to point out the amount of effort AIPAC lobby go to to get their candidate elected to the corridors of power?

Something inaccurate about the information?

You're the one pushing the conspiracy theory. One would assume you've checked this?

But let's start with the low hanging fruit.

When did Rachel Walensky take over the CDC? When did Rachel Levine become Assistant Secretary of the HHS?

How many people in positions of authority in 2020 were dual citizens of Israel and the US? What percentage of the total people in positions of authority in the US did they entail?

What does their citizenship of Israel have to do with the response to Covid both in the US and in other countries?

Great performance. Honestly wasn't expecting to win that so relatively easily, especially after playing very well in the first half but Tyrone still staying with us. Thought we then blew a few chances to drive it home with about 15 minutes left and feared Tyrone might make it a tight finish again, but fair fucks to the lads, they killed it off. Best performance of his career for Langan, while the runners like Mogan and Ban were superb. Some swing from the game last summer! Tyrone will have some side in the next few years though once all those youngsters get a bit of senior experience under their belt.
