I don’t mind it being a priority, only it being the top criteria. Someone who says it’s their most important priority displays a significant lack of awareness for what’s happening in the country and in the world.

And you’re ignoring literally everything else I said, which is exactly my point.

What the fuck is wrong with people. Number one criteria for president is dealing with a small scale civil/proxy war in Europe.

Meanwhile in Sudan, Ukraine, China, Myanmar, etc. there are millions more people being killed/impacted by genocidal governments and these don’t even make the list of anyone giving a shit when it comes to presidential choice.

Meanwhile the entire world economy is falling apart for the average person.

Meanwhile there’s a drug epidemic (somewhat related to the last one) killing around 100,000 Americans a year.

If your number one criteria is the Palestinian war you are either Palestinian(totally okay) or you have no idea how to prioritize your life in a rational manner and should not be allowed to vote.

The easy answer is no.

The long answer is, you don’t actually own the game.

Just goes to show how little people know about how people die.

I’m just going to point out that trump is only 3 years younger, and has far more risk factors for heart attack and strokes.

Why does everyone seem to think Biden is the one who will die first.

National Christians

NatC for short.

Well, the biggest problem with this situation and using the term “innocent” is that the vast majority of Gazans support Hamas and supported the attack on Oct 7th.

72% support for the attack.

I don’t consider those people innocent.

So they’re pretty much on target.

Life isn’t fair.

There isn’t some sort of right to fairness.

What’s the diplomatic solution? Give in to terrorists and let them attack again?

That’s exactly what happened in Ukraine with Crimea and we’ve all seen how that turned out.

These groups both want the same land. Somebody has to not get their way.

This is directly contradictory to other super obvious evidence. Like the fact that conservative states have much lower life expectancy.

I think there’s some tomfoolery with this study.

What a fucking click bait title.

When you attack someone stronger than you, it usually does not end well. They can try, but there will be further consequences.

It took a few hundred thousand middle eastern civilians dying after 9/11 before anyone started complaining and even that did not lead to this level of protest.

People are ok with violence if its their country that has been attacked.

Do I should let them take my family with no consequence because they’re using human shields?

No, my side is strong enough to get them back. Screw the terrorists and those that harbour them. They can try to retaliate, and they can die until they won’t fight back anymore.

People these days seem to think there’s a diplomatic solution for everything. They need to go read a nonfiction history book, because they are currently in the fiction section.

Because they’re overweight and a bunch of the fat ended up there and it makes them unhappy when they look in a mirror.

Theres a reason most fat males keep their shirts on at the beach.

To me, if my children or wife had been taken hostage. There would be no limit to the ratio I would be willing to accept to get them back.

Hamas still has hostages captured that day they are tying to use for negotiations.

The difference between my opinion and yours is that you consider it incidental murder, while I consider it a war that Palestinians are losing. War kills people, and acceptable casualties (enemy, friendly, and even innocents) are literally part of the calculations made by every single country that has ever participated in a war.

Nah, we’re far too resourceful to be killed by climate change.

It may take out large chunks of the global population, but we will adapt with technology to be able to still sustain billions of humans.

Humans are social animals, you’re the odd one out here from a social perspective, not that you’re not entitled to that choice but choices have consequences.

I’d suggest just ignoring them. You aren’t going to find a better work environment anywhere else unless you literally have no coworkers.

Innocents don’t murder journalists…

Hamas killed four Israeli journalists on Oct 7th during the attacks.

“but Israel is doing it worse”

How many people are they allowed to kill in retaliation for Oct 7th? Zero? 1:1? 10:1?

No country in the world would get attacked and not retaliate if they had the means.
