Sure. I hope you’re also against Palestinian nationalism then.

"If you're opposed to minority rule, then I hope you're also opposed to majority rule." What? Simply give everyone in the region equal voting rights, as is their right as human beings, and the resulting state would be a Palestinian one.

All the answers are slightly wrong. The Katagana that's causing confusion is "under-skort," skorts being a combination shorts/skirt, "under-skort" is the part that's like shorts, underneath the skirt part.

This is about the most incorrect analysis I can imagine.

Democrats right now would vote for Biden if he was in a coma

You would. But this core contingent of "vote blue no matter who" people is not large enough to win in the general.

Biden, unlike other potential democratic candidates is more likely to have some non trump Republicans voting for him.

Biden represents the same thing the Democrats have been offering for decades. Anyone who's a Republican has already seen people like Biden and said, "No thanks, not interested." Yeah he's a centrist, but he doesn't cut across party lines because he doesn't bring anything new or different to the table.

The fact that media is only talking about Biden without urging trump to step down shows me the whole thing is astroturfed.

This is an absurd conspiracy theory. There have been plenty of high level Democrats calling for him to resign, as well as a significant number of Democratic voters. His debate performance raised concerns about his mental competency that everyone who isn't self-deluding can see.

It's completely meaningless to call for your enemy to step down. Why on earth would Trump listen to Democrats and liberal media outlets telling him to step down? What you're suggesting is stupid and pointless, it accomplishes nothing and serves only to justify your conspiracy theory.

There's some promising research in using heliostats (mirrors to direct sunlight) towards a central tower to create molten salt, allowing solar energy to be stored and released at night.

Funny you should say that, because if you actually read the article, the event had to be organized in secret to avoid being targeted by far right groups and then dispersed after 30 minutes because those far-right groups showed up to attack anyway.

Sell their land to a shell company (pun intended) which leased the land back to the main company at inflated rates as part of a convoluted financial scheme to embezzle money, and then blame the endless shrimp.

When all you want is for Trump to lose

"Is this a Trump supporter?"

Westerners are transphobic.

If you wanna make broad generalizations about large groups of people with diverse beliefs, you don't get to turn around and exclude another group from broad generalizations just because you're included in it.

Because brains are wired to avoid 1) changes to habits and 2) admission of wrongdoing. Encountering a vegan makes the brain start running cover and looking for ways to discredit arguments. Often, the mental framework for dismissing "uppity" advocates already exists. There's also the force of money and industry propaganda which should be acknowledged, but in my experience people are more than capable of coming up with justifications on their own.

It's very difficult to overcome these psychological forces, but simply making the switch can remove a lot of cognitive dissonance and expose certain BS arguments for what they are.
