    “Today’s women CEOs are just grabbing more for themselves and working full-time on ways to better oppress the workers.”

    See how weird that sounds? If you picked out one specific CEO you were complaining about, it would make sense. If you talked about all CEOs, that would make sense. But zooming out just far enough from Biden to indict all the Democrats because of what Netanyahu’s doing, but not far enough to encompass all of the US political system which is fully unified in support for Israel, is super weird. Why are you doing that?

      It is not fully unified. There are politicians who do not support Israel. In the Senate even.

      But also that’s a hilarious double standard. One Republican does something and it’s all Republicans. The leader of the Democrats and the majority of their politicians do something and suddenly it’s just a symptom of the system?

      Dude.

        Correct. Democratic politicians. That’s what makes it weird to single them out as the singular problem.

        All Republicans do something and it’s all Republicans. The leader of the Democrats and the majority of their politicians also do that same thing and suddenly it’s a symptom of the Democrats and the Democrats specifically?

        Fixed it for you.

          Putting words in my mouth isn’t fixing anything. And neither is ignoring the fact that the Democrats majorly fucked up.
