I love that even two leftists together can’t come up with the idea of fixing the car themselves. Maybe bc on a subconscious level they know they’re not capable 😂

Apparently it’s against the rules 😮

I wonder if mods see the irony of their other rule against any type of prejudice.

Cool analogy, bro.

Even in your scenario, the car is broken because you haven’t been doing the proper maintenance, and you’ll never afford that other car because you’re currently working for a different kind of currency than what’s accepted where you live.

But I do accept you’d rather do business with the scrap metal dealer and leave yourself with no mode of transportation than fix your fucking car.

I would take it as another indicator that the winning group is the one that lobbies, organizes, and applies pressure better. Israel has been at it for decades, but I’ve only seen skepticism of US support for it gaining ground domestically since ~2019. The pressure is on generation-bridge democrats like AOC to move the DNC on the issue, and it’s because pressure is on them from constituents who are organizing, fundraising and lobbying.

I think taking it as an indicator to split the most Israel-skeptical voters into two camps, in a system that generally operates with FPTP voting, would lead to taking steps likely to worsen the situation.
