Of course not. That's way too fine to tightrope for them to walk for it to be summed up in a platform at the convention. I hate that it's that way, but it's a damned if you do damned if you don't situation for them. Therefore it's an entirely numbers-based strategy, no matter what the actual may believe.

Crazy. This was voted on by the delegates?

Are these the very same delegates who received their mandate as a result of the primary process in which Muslim voters overwhelmingly refused to submit even a single vote?

It's almost as if you're suggesting that refusing to participate in the democratic process means that your ideas will largely be discounted, as you bring literally nothing to the table in terms of political capital, but that just doesn't seem quite right?

Look, I'm 100% for peace in Gaza & on earth more broadly, but you can't refuse to return your RSVP and then act shocked that the host didn't save you a place at the table.

Didn't Trump say that Israel should just "finish the job"?

[–] Linkerbaan@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago (7 children)

What job is there to finish? Biden already flattened Gaza.
