Given that "Trump is a bloodthirsty fucking moron", it's pretty reasonable to expect people to try to stop him from taking back power!

Okay, then why did Netanyahu prefer Trump so strongly?

Why do YOU think Netanyahu wanted Trump so badly if Harris would've been the same?

Please answer the question.

Do you think Harris would've supported Israel annexing and resettling Gaza?

It's plainly obvious that Harris was more pro-Palestine than Trump.

So you think there was no obligation to try to keep Trump out of office? Even though you think he supports genocide? Interesting logic, but okay.

If you think Trump supports genocide, and that supporting genocide warrants prison, then surely supporting Trump should also be considered pretty bad?

Are you going to answer the question or are you going to keep making excuses for Trump supporters?

Do you honestly think that a Harris administration would be as bad as the current administration?

You should be a good person even if your family members are the victims of a genocide.

Trump campaigned on all of this! They voted for ICE raids, for anti-LGBT policy, for more wars, and for more support to Israel.
Either they're too stupid to know what they voted for, or they didn't care. Either way is pretty damning.

Consider blaming the people who voted for Trump instead of the people who loudly warned against voting for him.

Yeah the district's identity is the Evanston area. Just like IL-1 is southside Chicago even though it extends pretty far.

Like, again, you could make this same argument regarding mansions. "Most people don't live in a home because they want to, they live in a home because they have to. They *want* to live in a mansion." Yeah, but that says nothing useful about what types of housing we should be building/subsidizing!

The fact that it would cost you more to live in an apartment, rather than less, is exactly the problem here: we've unfairly subsidized homeownership at the expense of apartments.

Most people would like more space over less space. Most people, given that we live in a car-dependent society, would like a car. But most people also would like to spend less money on housing and transportation, and that could very well outweigh wanting more space or wanting a car!

I mean, it's not like those countries got to being the way they are overnight.
The main thing I disagree with you on here is the idea that there are "people who want houses" and "people who want apartments". These aren't meaningfully distinct groups of people.

None of that is a reason to oppose those things, though! Most US cities currently suck if you don't have a car. The solution to that isn't to double down, it's to change!

Also it's currently true that in many US cities, clearing streets is prioritized to clearing sidewalks. This isn't a law of nature though! Plenty of other countries keep the sidewalks clear during winter. It's a policy choice!

I mean the "traffic zooming by" is part of what I'd change. And you don't need everywhere to be a "busy downtown area" to have better urbanism.
