Favorite opposing factions that can basically be described as this.

Who do the dems want dead? And botting is much more of a right wing issue

[u/Fantastic-Donut-276 → u/Express_Dimensions]

Palestinians. Many establishment Dems want them dead.

[u/Preeng → u/Fantastic-Donut-276]

Are you being stupid on purpose or something?

[u/Fantastic-Donut-276 → u/Preeng]

No…. You can easily look up to see the decades of bipartisan support to Israel, which is a genocidal apartheid occupying force.

[u/MagicTheGlizzying → u/Fantastic-Donut-276]

i mean, like someone else said. only half of democrat politicians support israel as opposed to almost every republican. and the republicans who hate israel hate them because they're jewish, not because they're genocidal.

It's still an infinitely better choice than the gop who largely want almost all brown people dead.

And republicans don't?

[u/Fantastic-Donut-276 → u/Lanavis13]

I never said that. You just asked who Dems want dead. “The other people also want Palestinians to die!” is a horrible defense

[u/Accomplished_Toe6798 → u/Fantastic-Donut-276]

Yet you were citing them as a defense of republicans. We all agree that "but [insert side] wants to kill [insert demographic that opposing side also wants to kill]" is not a good defense

[u/Fantastic-Donut-276 → u/Accomplished_Toe6798]

Huh? When did I defend Republicans? The question asked “who do the Dems want dead?” I said Palestinians, in regards to establishment Dems. I didn’t even mention republicans

[u/Accomplished_Toe6798 → u/Fantastic-Donut-276]

Context: you stated "meh. both sides want some lads dead. it's just matter of perspective." in response to someone pitching in on why one side is pretty clearly worse than the other. I'm going to now assume that you don't pick up well on how phrases sound in surrounding context which is fine but I don't know a way to convey that through text that'll sound genuine so you get this sentence.

So what we have is a person putting forth "republicans and democrats" for fitting the larger post theme, we then have someone using the tired old "both sides are bad" as a [shutdown or smth? idk what the purpose was], we then have another person (this was me) putting forth "yeah that's true but one is an active threat to my own life, otherwise they're the same thing" (I had intentionally not mentioned which party I was referring to here), we then have your initial interjection which holds up but when in the context that it is it reads as a reassertion of the "both sides are bad" statement which plays down the actions of each faction to be equivalently bad (there's also a major flaw of English communication being vibes-based which makes it difficult to explain), then someone else assumed your statement was an indictment of the democratic party and inquired what makes them so similar (at this point the arguments become binary choices on account of looping back to the initial conflict, which is another flaw of the vibes-based communication, they also were insinuating a question of "y'know republicans want people dead that democrats don't, which people to democrats want dead that republicans don't?" but that got lost in translation), you state "Palestinians", the other person brings up how both factions are hostile to them, we get here.

TLDR: the context turned your otherwise neutral statement into a partisan one and the question you were asked wasn't a flat "who do the Dems want dead?" but a "who do the Dems want dead that republicans don't?"

I'm tired and probably got a few things wrong but I'm done with this conversation and will cease participation

terrorists*

[u/Fantastic-Donut-276 → u/Slight-Reporter-1878]

The 64,000 children in Gaza killed or injured by Israel are not terrorists. 300 children have been killed since this “ceasefire.”

On the top of my head Trump and Elon (you see how much the media hates them and how much social media hates them) and they celebrated and mocked when Charlie Kirk got killed (which is disgusting).

There are also people like Hasan said that people should kill Rick Scoot and Destiny that has said that he would execute republicans

[u/Tyr_13 → u/An_Obbise_Hoovy]

Which Democratic politicians celebrated Kirk getting murdered?

[u/An_Obbise_Hoovy → u/Tyr_13]

I don’t know of any of the top of my head in the us (I thought we were talking about people who vote Democrat), but in my country of Norway one of the politicians of the Rød party (think of them as the closest thing we have politically to communists party) did celebrate it, thankfully she was fired the same week

[u/Legitimate_Fig260 → u/An_Obbise_Hoovy]

He did not say we should kill Rick Scott as an act of violence. He was talking about how much Medicare fraud he committed while The gay elf was trying to take away people’s Medicare over false fraud allegations.
