Trump says Palestinians will have no right of return to Gaza under his plan

Why does this feel like Johnathan Irons from Call of Duty Advanced Warfare with "New Baghdad."
-
So.... More concentration camps?

Probably say "I gave them a chance, now we need to exterminate, since we have no other options"
-
Yeah, it's those thoughts and prayers people keep sending in light of disaster. It's great, you get to claim the moral high ground while burying your head in the sand about the realities of the situation.

So did the DNC though, supporting Israel was more important to them than winning "the most important election of our time".
-
Bidens suggestion was explicitly about allowing Palestinians to flee into Egypt short term
Just how gullible are you? When has any expulsion or relocation of Palestinians out of a territory ever been temporary? Biden isn't a complete moron. He would know as well as anyone that there is no such thing as a temporary relocation of Palestinians.
-
People immigrating to the US? Criminal invaders. The biggest threat to America. Meanwhile, let's turn an entry country into refugees and forcibly relocate them into other countries without the consent of anyone involved. Makes perfect sense. /s

I hope you look forward to voting for Ted Cruz, the Democratic candidate for president in 2028. After all, he'll in theory be a little better than Trump running for his third term, so logically it's our duty to support Mr. Cruz for president. The only criteria any Democrat is allowed to use is whether the Democratic candidate is a tiny bit better than the Republican.
If you refuse to vote for President Cruz, you will be fully morally responsible for any of Trump's actions in his third term. After all, there's no magical third candidate with a prospect of winning.
This is the moral hazard of the "vote blue no matter who" crowd. If the Democratic base is already locked in no matter what, then there's no need for the party to work to actually reflect Democratic values. The people running the party only care about winning for the sake of winning. They don't actually believe in anything; they're just shameless power chasers. And if the Dem base will vote for literally anyone the Dems nominate, then Dems might as well just nominate Ted Cruz, Liz Cheney, or some other Republican. What better way to appeal to suburban Republican voters than by nominating an actual Republican?
The truth is that in order for the Democratic Party to actually mean anything, there have to be some people on the left side of the spectrum willing to walk away if the party moves too far to the right. If there's no consequence to drifting to the right, the party will just become a duplicate of the Republican Party. Eventually we'll just end up with an election between the KKK candidate and the skinhead candidate. That would literally be the outcome if every Democratic voter blindly "voted blue no matter who."
Obviously, there's the argument of voting to defend democracy. But the sad truth is that centrist dems have proven beyond a shadow of a doubt that they are actually incapable of defending democracy. You can't run on something that you've proven yourself utterly incapable of doing. The party that appointed Merrick Garland could not credibly argue that they were going to vigorously defend democracy. Even now, their pathetic response to Trump's lawlessness shows that they are incapable of fighting for democracy.

People don't follow news and ignore it then come back making statement that proven wrong and shove it in everyone face.
Reality every person who read history or watch news knows for fact that when it comes to Israel US position has been consistent.
Blaming Palestinians who said "fuck this party that want our vote and continue to kill our families" even though it has proven they reason Kamala lost is Economy.
Continuing this fake narrative outright racist at best.
Reminds me how they kept downvoting people who dispute the numbers of people killed in October 7 which, also proven to be around 800 at best and proven the Israel ordered their soldier to use the Hannibal directive of bombing vehicles regardless who is inside.

I voted for Harris, but I also recognize the great value of people refusing to vote for a Democratic candidate when they move too far to the right. If there is no consequence for drifting right, the candidates will continue to do so.
The whole "preserve democracy" thing sounds good if you don't think about it too hard, but it doesn't hold up to scrutiny. The Biden/Harris team proved beyond a shadow of a doubt that they weren't capable of defending democracy. Nominating Garland proved that. The dems pathetic response to Trump's current lawlessness has proven that.
You can't "defend democracy" just by saying the words "defend democracy." You actually have to do it. And they proved that they were either unwilling or incapable of actually defending democracy. That's why that talking point so fell flat.

YOU do not seem to know how elections work beyond a single cycle. You view each election as singular isolated event, and you have zero perspective of the grander game that's played between cycles.
What exactly do you think would happen if 100% of Dem voters always "voted blue no matter who?" If every Dem vote is already locked in from day one, what incentive does the party have to do anything to actually represent them? This is why the Dems worked so hard to court Republicans to vote for Harris. They figured that the Dem base was so scared of Trump that their votes were already locked in.
If you want a party to actually represent your beliefs, there have to be some people on your side willing to walk away if the party drifts too far out of line. If no Democratic voters are ever willing to abandon a Democrat for being too conservative, then the Dem candidates will drift further and further right each cycle.
Yes, there's the idea of democracy being on the line, but when is democracy NOT going to be on the line? And truthfully, the Democratic leaders proved that they were not reliable stewards of Democracy. The party that nominated Garland had zero ability to argue that they would defend democracy. Just look at how limp-wristed the Democrats in Congress have been in responding to Trump's lawlessness. These people are not capable of defending democracy. Trump should have been thrown in Gitmo on day one of the Biden administration. Instead Biden nominated a Republican to be his attorney general, and the rest is history.
-
Right, because Harris wanted to kick all of the Palestinians out so she could build a resort.
At least she and Biden attempted to negotiate peace.
-
When did I defend genocide?
-
By not voting against the guy who straight up said he would be a dictator on day one and no one would ever have to vote again.

People can weasel themselves around terms like "fascist" quite easily, because there are multiple definitions, many are very diffuse and there's a lot of disagreement around it - but ethnic cleansing to my understanding is quite simple and this is it. Can any serious political commentator pretend it's not? The forced removal of Poles from west Poland (annexed by USSR) after WW2 for example was not a slaughter, but is considered an act of ethnic cleansing.
