"Everyone that disagrees with me is a shill"

Listen, I'm going to hold my nose and vote for Biden in November because a Trump victory risks the end of democracy in the US, but I'm so tired of this idea that all criticism of him, and anyone who disagrees with us about whether to vote for him, is a victim of some kind of conspiracy.

That isn't to say that people don't want to exploit those divisions and will try to spread misinformation to do so, but that isn't an excuse to dismiss everyone you disagree with either.

Yay! Fingers crossed

Ernest! So sorry to hear about the struggles. Happy you responded, I'll stick around :)

Do consider adding more devs to the team! Not good that you are feeling pressure from dorks like us just because you need some time for yourself (or are working on things less visibly)

It's such a shame, I really hope Ernest is ok. And I guess the once again lesson here is something like this needs a dev team and not just one person.

I'll stick around for a few more days to see what's going on, but if nothing changes I guess I'll have to move on to something else.

Listen, I will be voting for Biden, who is clearly worlds better than Trump. But the idea that Palestinian Americans who won't vote for someone funding the ethnic cleansing of their own family members are "purity test" losers is...well, its a take.

I certainly agree that, in a vacuum, a slip up like this is no big deal. But given the rest of the special counsel report, it is really just one data point in a huge cluster of red flags. I really wish he would step down. Trump has to be defeated, and between this and Gaza, he is really looking like far from the best candidate to do that.

Wait so is the thought that any criticism of Biden is both-sidesing? Is that the political climate we've found ourselves in? Forbidden to criticize someone with a D after their name because idiots might think "oh I guess now I'll vote for Trump"?

I have the same problem

For some, "never again" means "never again let this happen to any People", to others, it means "never again let this happen to us". Unfortunately, it is much more common in the Israeli right to understand it the second way.

This minister in particular didn't serve because he was considered a suspected terrorist. Too far right for the IDF - almost impressive.
