Okay let me be absolutely clear here, I know full well that Lemmy and even Reddit leans farther left. I'm not gonna argue with you that I gave you that impression. I'm just going to say here and now, I don't think the majority of Lemmy are in support of sending weapons to Israel. Hell I can hardly find anyone who admits to voting for Joe Biden in the 2020 primaries on here.
There are some and I set about finding those examples and even shared a few with you. If they exist here of all places then I speculate (I'm not trying to make some scientific claim here) there are a good number of them.
Dude why are you so hell bent on the 2020 primaries?
Yeah probably so, I can agree with that. Looks to me like about 38% of Democrats support Israel more than Palestine. To me it's absolutely crazy that it's that high, but I think (for no particular reason) that that's a product of how bad the news coverage is, and how much it goes out of its way to present the situation with this criminally pro-Israel spin.
I think if they fully understood the situation they'd be on Team Palestine and the big changes lately have been mostly due to them understanding it more and more, as the "war" continues and what's happening gets more and more obvious and harder to justify, so there's this new narrative being presented that wasn't in the mainstream news before. But I have no real reason for thinking that, it's just my guesswork about what's going on. It'd be interesting to find a poll that was analyzing how people understand the situation and what they think is going on, not just asking about the final bottom-line answer they're coming up with.
Why aren't you? Would you like to be able to vote for a better candidate than Biden in the presidential general election? I would. That requires examining what happened in the primaries to figure out what can be changed.
What a fascinatingly straightforward, natural, and organic train of logic.
I can't tell if you're being sarcastic or not.
I am.
I had just reached the conclusion that maybe it was hasty to decide you're a troll. IDK, it's hard to tell these things over the internet.
Deciding whether or not to vote for Joe Biden should be based on analyzing what he's done in the time he's in office. Going back 4 years before he was in power, trying to get in the heads of the people that were voting for him even though there's no possible way to do that, and then trying to draw a conclusion from that that would inform in any way the decision about what to do in this general election, is totally bizarre bordering on unhinged. I think you are doing it on purpose to distract from the straight concept of "what will Biden probably do, what will Trump probably do, and which one do I want" (the answer to which is pretty clear after like 5-10 seconds of thought... which is why I suspect you're trying so hard not to analyze in those terms, because to you the "right answer" is not-Biden.)
Hope you're being paid well, at least. It can't be a super fun job.
Dude what the fuck is wrong with you? Do you have brain damage? You completely misunderstood my comment, assumed the worst and went right back to accusing me of being a troll.
Your reading comprehension is absolute trash and which would be fine except you have zero self awareness of it and just talk trash immediately.
Be better. But in the mean time go fuck yourself. Jesus Christ what a miserable person you are.
Yeah, I sure jumped to conclusions here. I didn't even talk to you at length and hear you out and explain what I was thinking, or give you a chance to respond. Must just suck as a person, I guess.
