Because few people care about abortion in their day to day life as much as a small but significant minority of gun guys care about their guns each and every day

Different account, to be clear

Oh and it gets worse

Unless the message is literally just that people are entitled to have feelings, which, sure yes 100%

Seems like a quick jump from here to "obviously I believe an accused rapist should have the right to a trial of their peers, but if they're aquitted, the jury should be hunted down and killed"

It bothers me a little bit (though as Nathan pointed out, I'm not the actual victim here) to see the narrative of Israeli Jews as carrying out a unique evil in backstabbing their gracious hosts, rather than the still horrible but less unique reality

It's a minor point, but I do bristle a little when I see the ahistorical notion being shared a lot online that Ottoman and mandate Palestinian Arabs welcomed Jewish refugees- some did, many didn't (arguably understandably), and while it obviously doesn't justify the Nakba and later occupation,

Yeah, obviously I don't think people should agree with them- I don't- but there's often an attempt to justify the expulsion and oppression of Palestinians in universalist human rights terms but, unfortunately, it is often either self-delusion or deception.

I hadn't heard about him- darkly ironic to see him writing that a Jewish state would not be able to absorb the entirety of the diaspora population.

They do think they "know better" as an oppressed minority.

They think universalism is hollow, and no one will save us, and the problem is we weren't strong enough.

I disagree and think it's horrible but I wish more people tried to understand the dynamic.

Agreed! Have a good weekend

Yes, I'm aware. And are you saying you think two candidates will try this despite it being unlikely to succeed outside of an RCV environment? If you were just saying someone will try it, then sure but if you think it'd be effictive outside of that environment that's the disagreement.

I mean, do you think this strategy/type of campaign would be possible without RCV?

I had thought you were implying this could be done outside of a RCV race. As someone who thinks otherwise and thinks RCV should be implemented for every election (though with a point system preferred over instant run-off like in NYC) I said something.

Apologies if I misunderstood what you said

Well, I feel like I explained myself as best I could in this time and place. Have a good day!

Landers would have had to drop and endorse Mamdani before voting started (or before a Super Tuesday equivalent) and that's exactly what Buttigieg did with Biden.

"You don't have to choose between us, so let's not get ugly!" Is a great message, but only works for RCV
