Not gloating, responding to your comment about caring more about reality than optics… Seems outrageous to say given the circumstance and outcome. It’s too on the nose unless you’re trolling…

Oh! In that case, thank you for saving Gaza!

As of March, substantially less than half (closer to 1/3). I’d imagine it’s even lower now: https://www.pewresearch.org/politics/2026/03/25/americans-broadly-disapprove-of-u-s-military-action-in-iran/

Do you believe Biden should be judge, jury, and executioner?

Absolutely not!

Maybe I understand your perspective better now? Is it that your opposition is to a president directly ordering someone be arrested/killed (vs directing the department of justice to administer a speedy and comprehensive trial in order to prevent a miscarriage of justice)?

I’m arguing against Biden throwing Trump in jail

Presumably because Trump is a politician? Or is it that you believe he committed no crimes?

Just to understand your perspective: is there anything a politician, either sitting or running, can do that would cause you to support jailing or executing them, or is the complication of them being a politician such that, in your eye, no penalty can be met for any crime they commit?

It reads to me like they’re staying in a middle class hotel

I believe he is also on the record saying that being detained while having to prove your citizenship is a minor inconvenience. He definitely seems to be speaking from his own perspective rather than that of anyone likely to have to deal with the outcome of these rulings.

Sadly, this is consistent with my experience with hospitals. The schedules are constantly in flux and no one bothers to tell the patients/advocates. It really sucks and seems unnecessary. Sorry that happened to you.

Dunno dude. Six year olds should be chaste. When he’s older he can go and have sex if he doesn’t believe in his religion. Or at least he could have if he wasn’t disappeared as part of a genocide land grab

Thanks for your reply. I feel you mischaracterized my response, likely because you didn’t understand it, in which case, likely because I did not express it well.

I don’t care whether op leaves Reddit, it’s not an important issue to me, and it has absolutely nothing to do with purity. I was responding to the idea that it’s hard to leave reddit, which may feel true for op, but, just as you suggested, if everyone took that attitude with everything, positive change would be stymied, and your suggested resort to suicide would make a lot more sense. Making space (e.g., by leaving an abusive relationship of one kind or another) can seem hard or scary, but I stand by it as a means to enable better things to come. What op wants to do with that is up to them.

I hope that’s more clear.
