are you saying it’d be hard to match voter reg data to a federal gun registry? i don’t see why

they don’t need to remove him at this point because his term is up in may. it’s more about scaring other actors and making an example of powell

yeah i agree the message should be clear: “we won’t vote for any bill that funds DHS.”
if it’s “we’re shutting down the government until we get ___” then they probably won’t hold the line and we’ll get the same thing again— which is still better than nothing!

yes it’s not a great option and it’s also the best option. the alternative is democrats voting to fund DHS in its current state which is (or should be) untenable.

is it “state-sponsored capitalism” to tax returns to capital vs. labor at different rates?
if not, how is that not “the government dictates capital return?”

sure but big picture cronyism, corruption, lawlessness, arbitrary detentions, etc. are actually bad for economic growth in the long term.

either way I’m going to assume that your lack of response to my substantive questions and focus on semantic games is an indication that your views are either totally incoherent or that you support violent conquest, ethnic cleansing, etc.

if it makes you happier, you can swap “endorse” for “support”

also quite telling that you don’t respond to any of my specific questions but instead go off on a silly and irrelevant tangent

huh? you can support an idea buddy. if you’re a zionist you support zionism, which is a political ideology. if you’re a socialist you support socialism… same for any political ideology. you might want to familiarize yourself with the basics of a term before you identify as one.

yeah it means different things to different people and isn’t the best phrase tactically if you want to build a political coalition focused on supporting palestinian resistance

if you don’t want people to think that the zionism you support is the same zionism that has murdered, dispossessed, and ethnically cleansed hundreds of thousands of people, maybe you should make that clear! otherwise someone might think you’re endorsing murder and
ethnic cleansing. more

you say it doesn’t include “violent conquest” but what version of zionism do you support if not the actually existing one built on violent conquest?

ok, in that case when you say “the same right to self determination in the land of our ancestors that anyone else has” do you include palestinians in the category of “anyone else”? if so, what mechanisms do you support to achieve those political rights and self-determination?

do you think it’s objectionable to call for international support for palestinian resistance to occupation, ethnic cleansing, and dispossession?
if so, what approach do you suggest to achieve the same political rights and self determination for palestinians that you support for jews?

does that right to self determination include the right to ethnically cleanse, murder, dispossess, oppress, and commit genocide against a group of people that’s been living on that same land for generations?

how do you justify your endorsement of zionism, an ideology used to justify violence, ethnic cleansing, genocide, etc. and how do you think that rhetoric makes palestinian people feel?
there’s no consistent, intellectually honest logic that justifies zionism but not the phrase “intifada”

he did not endorse it, tacitly or otherwise — you are lying. and in a follow up conversation he explicitly said he thinks people shouldn’t use that language. so why keep bringing it up like a broken record?

kind of incredible that you’re calling me (sorry, “you people”— who exactly?) stupid and functionally illiterate when you can’t seem to read or understand what you yourself just wrote.

you referenced “Globalizing the Intifada” in your post above and then said:
“I asked him if he NOW understands the problem that we have with the rhetoric that he endorsed, which was a major point of contention during the campaign.”
what rhetoric did you mean? this is basic reading comprehension…

1. he didn’t endorse that phrase, you’re lying when you say he did.
2. by your logic, zionist rhetoric and ideology has led to many deaths and lots of violence. why are you endorsing zionist rhetoric?
