Clearly you are faking your outrage if you can’t spell “palestinian”. You’re rumbled. Banned for trolling.

No thanks, I already got one!
They send Israel weapons to defend themselves from attack by hostile forces. Israel has the right to do that.
If you want to blame Netanyahu for misappropriating defense supplies, that’s absolutely fair, but that’s NOT why Israel is being supplied.

“Let me be clear, I will always stand up for Israel’s right to defend itself and I will always ensure Israel has the ability to defend itself,” she said tonight. She said that Israelis should “never again” go through the horror and “unspeakable” attacks of Oct. 7.
“At the same time what has happened in Gaza in the past 10 months is devastating. So many innocent lives lost. The scale of suffering is heartbreaking,”
None of this is supporting genocide in any way, shape, or form. If you believe it is, please supply a source showing Biden or Harris giving free reign for Israel to do what they want.
You know, like this:

“They’re losing the PR war. They’re losing it big. But they’ve got to finish what they started, and they’ve got to finish it fast, and we have to get on with life.”
Oh, wait, no, that’s Trump.
Scene from “The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare”, which is just incredibly entertaining…
But get this… As completely, improbably, unbelievable as the events are, they’re based on a true story… AND… in the true story? Nobody got killed.

Why… it seems like it was just yesterday…
That would also require Trump to be competent and while he’s a great many things, that is one thing he will never be.
Weird how repeatedly calling for an immediate cease fire and a two state solution in Israel = “lil genocide”.

“Monday’s meeting in Washington, D.C., comes one day after Harris called for an immediate, temporary cease-fire in Gaza to facilitate an exchange of Israeli hostages for Palestinian prisoners and detainees. Harris is expected to continue pressing Israel to pause the fighting and allow more humanitarian aid into Gaza.”

“Vice President Kamala Harris met with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in private Thursday and followed it with a strikingly forceful call on his government to get a cease-fire deal done and ease the suffering of civilians in Gaza.”
“Vice President Kamala Harris reiterated her call for a ceasefire-for-hostage deal in Gaza while expressing sympathy for both Israelis and Palestinians affected by the conflict. Harris condemned the Oct. 7 attack by Hamas on southern Israel but said “far too many innocent Palestinians have been killed” by Israel’s ongoing military offensive in Gaza.”
Do you get something out of mis-representing what she said and did? Or were you just not actually paying attention?
Post election searches are the best:
“What is the EU?”
“What is Brexit?”

If that were the case, then the 20% drop in this election would not be notable, but again, you can’t compare to the previous election as it was not remotely the same kind of election (mayor + 1 city councilman, winner take all, vs. mayor + 12 council members, rank 6, 1 mayor + 3 council members per district win.)
But what you can do, as they did here, is note that of the ballots which were returned, 20% of active voters, chose to skip the ranked choice lines but not the other lines resulting in under votes for mayor and city council.
You can’t even compare raw numbers between 2020 and 2024 because 2024 was ranked choice and 2020 was not.
Mayor 2020:
https://www.portland.gov/auditor/elections/city-election-results/2020-city-elections-results
Ted Wheeler - 167,260 - 46.07%
Sarah Iannarone - 147,964 - 40.76%
Write-In - 47,832 - 13.17%
Total Votes Cast - 363,056 - 100.00%
No notable skipped lines, but again, not the same kind of election.
Mayor 2024:
https://rcvresults.multco.us/Reports/a3df36c7-9b95-4614-a357-759ae2ca223f-City_of_Portland_Mayor
Initial results went through 19 rounds of counting and elimination before someone hit more than 50%.
Round 1:
Round 19:
If you assume the first round votes, which would have been all the #1 voted candidates, represents the total number of ballots for mayor, that means 170,050 people voted in round 1. 46.84% of the 363,056 ballots cast in 2020.
We should have done what was done in 2020… Primary to eliminate all the fringe candidates, then a general for the top 2.
I’m saying Bernie fans are going to be Bernie fans, and if you read my top comment the “in before” clearly means “this comment takes place before any Bernie fans say he should run in '28”.
https://www.wikihow.com/Inb4-Meaning
Supporting that statement is the link showing Bernie fans saying he would have won in '24.
The headline doesn’t need to mention previous elections because, in this election, 20% of voters skipped those lines while voting on other lines.
That’s where the “20% drop” is coming from. Compared to other lines on the SAME ballot, not previous elections.
So, they voted for President, Congress, etc, but skipped the ranked choice lines resulting in a 20% undervote compared to the rest of the ballot.
I’m saying Bernie supporters gonna Bernie. Hence “In before…”
Bernie was no more capable of winning '24 than '28. Fans will still float the idea.
I swear, it’s like the Ron Paul fanbase all over again.
There will be a proper primary in '28 and Newsome will be the Democratiic Mitt Romney. No idea if he’ll win.
My favorite joke on Romney, I think it was Letterman? “Sears Catalog underwear model, Mitt Romney.”
That was my primary complaint about Harris, she had the same plastic, fake insincerity Clinton did.
I mean, I voted for her ANYWAY because the alternative is just… 🤢🤮
I mean, it’s right here:
I love Bernie, but he would not have won. He’s not healthy enough to have run a national campaign like that, not after his heart event in 2019.
In a state that regularly sees 60+% and 70+% participation, yeah, 20% skipping those lines is a big chunk. I don’t think we have final turnout numbers yet.
