don't worry, they keep everything anonymous

Karl Malone, Wednesday, 20 May 2020 18:29 (three years ago) link

worth mentioning that in 2016 at this time in May, Q was showing Clinton up on Trump by only +2 overall. Biden's up +11 (50-39) now

Speaking of Q:

I have no love for the BDS movement but for fuck’s sake!

silby, Thursday, 21 May 2020 00:03 (three years ago) link

i just came here to see if that had been posted. wowwwwww

You're not going to get a president who will embrace the Palestinian cause until a much bigger chunk of the electorate embraces the Palestinian cause.Nothing to be happy about there, but happiness in politics doesn't fall from the sky like manna. Biden is just a mirror of the country at large in that statement.

It's a foreign policy issue, tangled up with decades of propaganda, which makes it all the harder for people to grasp. The Palestinians have shaped their major appeals toward regional Islamic allies and to a smaller extent Europe, while Israel has shaped its major appeals to the USA almost exclusively. The US 'audience' sees the conflict largely in terms laid out along the line of Israel's interests, which have by now swept in the Golan Heights, the occupied territories and the settlements. It will take massive effort to alter this configuration. I don't quite see how it will happen. :-(

hey if you don't like him, vote for someone else!

actually don't do that. fuck

Karl Malone, Thursday, 21 May 2020 01:14 (three years ago) link

it really sucks how he made that a catchphrase

Karl Malone, Thursday, 21 May 2020 01:14 (three years ago) link

If only pols could be relied on to be mirrors of popular opinion when it comes to....a whole lot of other things

k*r*n koltrane (Simon H.), Thursday, 21 May 2020 01:17 (three years ago) link

Biden also pledged to restore formal ties and funding to the palestinian authority, and did so in the same platform. Greenwald’s twitter followers are fucking morons.

El Tomboto, Thursday, 21 May 2020 01:21 (three years ago) link

if only politicians could be controlled by a tens of thousands of people viewing their lives through VR goggles on the politicians' heads, each of viewers mashing the button corresponding to what they wanted them to do at that given moment, with second amendment warriors facing off against factions trying to get them to head toward the bathroom

Karl Malone, Thursday, 21 May 2020 01:23 (three years ago) link

xp

Karl Malone, Thursday, 21 May 2020 01:23 (three years ago) link

Google “biden palestinian authority” and it’s almost nothing but right wing sites flipping the fuck out over his commitment to “restore funding to terrorists”

Plus one haaretz article that’s about 350 words, assuming that’s still not too long for milo to read without flying into a tizzy

El Tomboto, Thursday, 21 May 2020 01:23 (three years ago) link

Literally all it takes is reading replies on a site I don’t even use, and entering basic search terms. Your cherry picking bullshit is weak

El Tomboto, Thursday, 21 May 2020 01:25 (three years ago) link

i understand i will never be happy with a viable candidate's position on this issue that is why i don't engage in these conversations generally. my question is did anyone choose to read that over before putting it on his website

forensic plumber (harbl), Thursday, 21 May 2020 01:30 (three years ago) link

Probably two people. Watch it get tweaked by tomorrow.

El Tomboto, Thursday, 21 May 2020 01:32 (three years ago) link

Such cherry picking to, uh, quote the words the Biden campaign chose, without comment.

Your brains are going to melt out of your ears by November.

Greta Van Show Feets BB (milo z), Thursday, 21 May 2020 01:37 (three years ago) link

Please give us some pro tips on how to live without brains

El Tomboto, Thursday, 21 May 2020 01:39 (three years ago) link

Is everyone you meet a fucking stooge? I assume yes. Have you ever considered that might say something about what you are?

El Tomboto, Thursday, 21 May 2020 01:41 (three years ago) link

See, you've already devolved to "I'm rubber and you're glue" stage of development.

Greta Van Show Feets BB (milo z), Thursday, 21 May 2020 01:42 (three years ago) link

guys guys. you're both bad

lumen (esby), Thursday, 21 May 2020 01:43 (three years ago) link

I've met almost no stooges, but I've also never met someone who gets mad because a horrible phrase in service of a horrible man was pointed out in a mocking manner.

Greta Van Show Feets BB (milo z), Thursday, 21 May 2020 01:43 (three years ago) link

Your everyday sanctimonious bullshit in the service of the profound and truly novel narrative that AMERICA SUCKS AND WILL NEVER GET BETTER drives me up the wall, over it, and into a burning dumpster of discombobulated rage. I have allowed you to live in my head rent free! I have lost at this game.

You wouldn’t know a coherent foreign policy if it kicked you in the dick, though.

El Tomboto, Thursday, 21 May 2020 01:48 (three years ago) link

harshness tombot

tombot otm

reggie (qualmsley), Thursday, 21 May 2020 01:52 (three years ago) link

Super weird thing to get mad about IMO.

Greta Van Show Feets BB (milo z), Thursday, 21 May 2020 01:53 (three years ago) link

super weird to continue ragging on biden with barr, mcconnell, and trump running loose

reggie (qualmsley), Thursday, 21 May 2020 01:54 (three years ago) link

I get mad about things I know about

El Tomboto, Thursday, 21 May 2020 01:58 (three years ago) link

I thought it was a mental trick to make yourself feel better about voting for a sex creep in a district where your vote is wholly irrelevant but okay.

Greta Van Show Feets BB (milo z), Thursday, 21 May 2020 02:01 (three years ago) link

Fuck you, dumbass

El Tomboto, Thursday, 21 May 2020 02:04 (three years ago) link

"AMERICA SUCKS AND WILL NEVER GET BETTER"

FWIW only the first half is definitely correct

k*r*n koltrane (Simon H.), Thursday, 21 May 2020 02:07 (three years ago) link

Otmbot

akm, Thursday, 21 May 2020 02:09 (three years ago) link

America just sucks, Joe Biden sucks and will never get better.

Greta Van Show Feets BB (milo z), Thursday, 21 May 2020 02:17 (three years ago) link

wow i'm shocked that joe biden's website reflected the mainstream u.s. consensus on one of the most polarizing issues in the world. truly hope this horrible man loses in november so we can have a socialist uprising in 2024.

(The Other) J.D. (J.D.), Thursday, 21 May 2020 02:20 (three years ago) link

i just want to see hunter biden finally brought to justice

reggie (qualmsley), Thursday, 21 May 2020 02:21 (three years ago) link

xxp just don’t post it though, if you do your feelings about him will penetrate the ilx bubble and color the opinions of millions of swing voters

Yanni Xenakis (Hadrian VIII), Thursday, 21 May 2020 02:22 (three years ago) link

I don't think anyone expressed shock or even disappointment? Though "the Palestinians are doin it to themselves" is pretty craven even for a centrist Democrat in 2020.

Greta Van Show Feets BB (milo z), Thursday, 21 May 2020 02:29 (three years ago) link

why is it more gauche to post to the trump thread than the biden thread?

reggie (qualmsley), Thursday, 21 May 2020 02:31 (three years ago) link

trump is the unwanted trip and biden is the accidental patio chat in hour 4

Karl Malone, Thursday, 21 May 2020 02:33 (three years ago) link

milo your constant trolling is making me not like ilx anymore, it's not your point of view it's the way you present it

Dan S, Thursday, 21 May 2020 02:42 (three years ago) link

I've never trolled ILX.

Like... I posted an image taken directly from Joe Biden's campaign website (something I consider pretty terrible, but I did not comment on it). I did not tag tombot or point it out to him or really remember that he exists in any way - and yet he responded multiple times, angrily.

Greta Van Show Feets BB (milo z), Thursday, 21 May 2020 02:47 (three years ago) link

I guess I shouldn't have said that, I know you have a coherent and valid point of view, I just wish you wouldn't be so confrontational

Dan S, Thursday, 21 May 2020 02:53 (three years ago) link
