Fun fact, actually the drummer of SOAD is a Trump supporter. Serj has said he's mystified about it. You're right about the other three members though.

"Far left" here, we generally understand the need to vote blue no matter who in this election. It's pretty obvious.

The point is to get us talking about it. I'd say they succeeded.

Even if this were true (which it isn't), the penalty for bigotry isn't indiscriminately killing tens of thousands of innocent civilians.

It must be something more substantial in this case, tearing the windshield wiper off wouldn't brick the truck

Not defending Tesla, but that wasn't a cybertruck

The problem is that according to due process, you need to prove somebody is guilty of something before they are jailed. These people weren't jailed, they were basically executed from a distance. The burden of proof is on the Israeli military to prove that they WERE Hamas, not on people horrified by the footage to prove the negative. And so far (and historically) the IDF seems to not care to do so, and in lots of cases have given "proof" as justification for one action or another that later turned out to be bullshit.

Not to mention the numerous cases of the IDF killing people in "Press" vests and helmets, or people literally actively waving a white flag. In my opinion, they don't deserve the benefit of the doubt given their record.

He later got them everything they wanted, and they have since endorsed him.

Edit: he later got them the sick days they wanted, on top of pushing through the contract that only a handful of the 12 unions hadn't ratified. I guess it's not technically "everything they wanted" but it's certainly more than the unions that ratified the agreement were expecting.

To be fair, trump chose to deplatform himself in the same way during the primary and that didn't seem to affect his chances.

Yes, but that alternative infrastructure needs to be in place before you can start really discouraging cars with, for example, high gas prices. Raising gas prices to that extent right now in most places outside of a few major cities would just cause people not to be able to get to work.

I've been able to do this with my galaxies for years

That's not true, modern golf originated in Scotland where it's considered a game for everybody and played a lot on public land. The most famous course in the world is closed every Sunday and becomes a public park for the day. The elitism came later, and fuck those guys.
