  • As an example, in the USA where I live.

    I don’t support racists who use their first amendment protections from the USA constitution to say dumb, stupid shit.

    But I also don’t support killing them.

    Please don’t support murder of civilians, even if they are dumb, racist, antisemitic, mother fuckers (as the Israeli settlers are in the West Bank).

    I do feel your sentiments though. Israeli civilians are not looking their best on the world stage at the moment.

    If you need someone to direct your ire at, look to politicians who support the Israeli government you can work to vote out of office.









  • No, it’s 85-95%

    In the 2024 election cycle they contributed an average donation of well over $100,000 to 479 members of Congress… which is about 89% of the total members of house and senate. This does not include the president and vice president, or members of state legislators or the 40 million dollars they gave to fight against Mamdani in New York.

    The 89% number may be a percent or two too high because they also contribute to mid terms and they data is not separate from this data on open secrets… it probably is, but I’m not gonna spend all day looking for it. JD Vance acting as the 101st vote in the Senate would make up 1 percent there if this is the case.

    Well above 2/3rds. Your number is closer to a “lie” than my number, but both numbers are ridiculous.

    If you think “only 2/3rds” is somehow a defensive argument, you are loony tunes.
