I mean it's a genocide, not a war. And Harris absolutely has not said she would cease arming Isreal, she is less outspoken than Biden but there is no indication she would end anything.

But Trump gave gift after gift to Isareal the first time and has said he would send more armaments. He without question would make things worse so Harris is the only sane ethical choice.

I agree it's a simple choice but we need to be realistic that Harris isn't some peace panacea.

You'd be suprised. My partner is very tuned in to politics and watches Hasan near daily, reads news, talks with me and her friends but casually mentioned she would be voting for Stein instead of Harris. I very quickly pulled up the Putin dinner party pic and a handful of articles explaining the various connections. It all totally flabbergasted her and she decided on Harris despite her, very legitimate, reservations over genocide. Realistically we're in a very blue state that will safely go Harris so it wouldn't matter, but I'm certain other people will still fall into the same trap.

It’s not hard to find a common thread in all Middle Eastern countries…

Sweetie, this was my point. Your link proves my point.

Please calm down and actually try to absorb what I'm telling you. This is basic history IF you care to learn it. I know it's easy to fall in to xenophobia but the world is more complicated than just saying certain groups are universally evil.

It's the US fault that Islamic extremists are the goverment.

I thought Islam was the religion of peace?

Most Christians are peaceful, but if an outside country destabilized the US democratic and republican party then placed the KKK in power, their version of Christianity would be what America lives under. Exactly as it happened in various middile eastern countries.

This isn't a consisparcy or anything, it's basic history of the region freely available on Wikipedia. Saying anything else is just ignorance.

The Iranian revolution (where fundamentalist Islam / Sharia took over the country) was a direct fallout from the Shah, (the US puppet dictator) losing power after exploiting his country for US interests (cheap oil) for nearly four decades. He died in exile while everyone in Iran accused each other of being secretly western puppets and then naturally the religious traditionalist were above these accusations.

This isn't a conspiracy theroy or anything, it's all extremely on the record but so few Americans know or give a shit. Simmiliar story everywhere in the region. Religious fundamentalist extremism wasn't the norm for the longest time until US intervention.

"Go lick a dead camel jackass!"

Shouted by a friend at a high school bully from a moving car. 😂

I have no idea if I'm in the right to be mad. I should be fully and only mad at my dad, but i'm mad at everyone involved because in my mind they let the situation develop

Oh absolutly you have the right to be pissed at them all. You're right to recognize that fundamentally your dad is responsible for his own actions, but it would be naive not to notice the toxic culture around binge drinking. Here he is just dropped on your lap needing care that he can't provide for himself. You are entirely correct to be frustrated at those who made it your problem. Including and especially him! I imagine you wouldn't care much if he drunkingly kept to himself, but instead he hurts your mother and makes his wellbeing your responsibility. I'm really sorry you gotta deal with this all. I would be pissed too. :(

I type lol a lot, but I need you all to know that I fucking HOWLED laughing at this. God damn is the new onion on point.

Yay!

But fuck Starbucks for just a litany of reasons so it will never make a difference to me. I own a coffee maker, a blender and a thing of pumpkin spice so I can make their whole menu in minutes for 1/10th of the cost.
