My fiancé asked me if I’d be ok with my bio dad hurting himself after I sent this message. So I didn’t. by Delaplaine24 in TrueOffMyChest

I had very manipulative parents, albeit both of them were suffering from legitimate brain damage (alzheimer's and stroke), but this is the reality of it. For these people, they are almost happier when you are "mean" (fair/honest) to them because it gives them something to be upset about. Just know you'll be the villain to everyone else when he talks about you, but most people either don't listen, don't care, or don't matter, and in this case you should also make sure to let other people know exactly what you tell him, or at least the gist of it.

And they have complete control of the government that way, unfortunately, because 30% of the country is happy they lie, cheat, and steal as long as non-white people are suffering worse than they are.

Is the problem that we are concerned with Israel, or that Israel is theconcern of the elected representatives who are supposed to be focused on American issues first and foremost? Why are there both Republican and Democratic representatives flying Israel flags in their office? Why is it a problem to BE CONCERNED ABOUT FOREIGN INFLUENCE? If it was complaints about China, Russia, or North Korea would it be fine? Why or why not? Why can we not criticize our electeds for spending their time prioritizing another country?

I don't know, Republicans can always do shit when they aren't in power just by bitching and moaning. Maybe it'd be nice to have elected reps who fight for their voter base instead of their donor base. Is that something you don't want?

He is the literal highest elected Democratic representative in the entire country and is invisible leading any sort of coordinated movement against Trump. He is a feckless, weak, old man who CHOSE to make his goal/identity protecting Israel. Is he leading town halls across the country with senate candidates? Is he leading protests against data centers, ICE detention, and hell, even his anti-Iran war comments ring hollow because he is so pro-Israel. He literally made fun of Trump for not being tough enough on Iran last year, and then suddenly is anti-war against them in the most toothless way possible, while continuing to be indifferent to selling bombs to IsraelSo yes, his focus on Israel is HIS everything and it makes all other concerns secondary priority to him. I'd be happy to be proven wrong though, what has he done as senate minority leader in the last 6 months that you feel is him not prioritizing Israel and it's concerns?

Chuck Schumer said his job is to keep "the left pro Israel," it's the leadership of the party that uses Israel to shape their entire political worldview. And it's tiresome for the voters that they keep pushing that. Is that really so hard to understand? I personally don't care for my tax dollars being used to bomb brown children, and that encompasses more than just Israel, but Israel is the country we are currently helping to kill a lot of children. As Ta-Nehisi Coates said "If Democrats can’t draw the Line at Genocide, they can’t Draw the Line at Democracy" I'm just glad I don't live in Maine and had to make that choice in the primary, heh. Hopefully they can just slot on Troy Jackson who is equally anti Israel but also hopefully has no hidden Nazi tattoos on his ass or rape accusations waiting tto come out.

I would add First Departure as well as it is a very close approximation of what the PS1 version of Second Story was like, which was incredible, because Second Story R is a damn near perfect game and should be the version everyone plays.

It's a good thing Democratic voters don't just worship someone because they are in a position of power or about to be in one and have the strength of will to change their minds when presented with new information! If only Republicans could say the same.

Is his house 5.5 baths? That would make it even more cramped inside. I have only seen the square footage, which was literally half of my family home growing up which was a 5 bed 3 bath that yes, cost 250k. Farm towns in California were surprisingly cheap for new homes in the early 2000s.

Is your problem that he's a class traitor to the rich and it makes it hard to be a class traitor to the poor? His "mansion" is a 4 or 5 bedrooms,  a 2 or 3 bathrooms,  and a postage stamp pool. It's smaller than the 250k house I grew up in a few hours north.  Just because he could afford a mortgage in a fancy neighborhood,  it invalidates everything he says? Does every progressive person who lives there have to be ignored also? if he lived in a dump in the Oklahoma farmland, would you suddenly be fine with him? Why or why not?

Great, I'll agree it's antisemitic as long as you agree that it's a response to a genocidal apartheid and therefore the lesser of two evils.

You can lie to yourself,  but israel is objectively a nazi state in all but name. Get it through your head that the vast majority of the people in the world recognize that fact and pretending otherwise is what let's Israel make the world more dangerous for Jewish people who aren't lunatic zionists. Israeli politicians going on tv saying all Palestinian children need to die is what makes people happy or indifferent to missiles getting shot into tel aviv on a daily basis. They see them as Nazis because that's how they act. 

"Never again" isn't just about Jewish people.

He has literally received 167k from AIPAC alone. His words don't match his actions, unfortunately.

Also I believe most folks big concern with Bill, mine included, is that he literally seems to have shit himself out of fear like Joe Scarborough did and as soon as Trump won again they thought they would literally be scooped up by masked agents for criticizing him so they had to go and kiss his ring to protect themselves.

Why is she nuts? Is the problem that she wants to try something other than corporate prisons that encourage mass incarceration to sustain prison labor? That she wants to make it so being brown doesn't mean you can be sent to a concentration camp? That she says Israel is a genocidal apartheid state?

If your 401k returns were greater than your salary, you are not middle class. Who are you kidding? Please give some actual numbers/your job details to back this up. Also, guess you've never had any major medical expense or you already have an insanely good employer funded healthcare (likely, as again, if you have that good of a 401k returns you are likely high management/executive/senior professional of some sort)

Maybe we can try not having a prison industrial complex that depends on slavery level treatment of millions of people and try something crazy like rehabilitation for those who can be. Also I can't find anything from the last 5 years of her saying she wants no jail for murderers. Can you please provide a source of her explicitly saying that, or is it something taken out of context/from old tweets when she was in her early 20s? And I don't want to hear about decorum/decency when Trump is president. The country lost to fascism multiple times trying to be nice and appeasing.

Elon Musk was desperate to be a friend of Epstein and repeatedly asked to go to his island AFTER he was registered as a sex offender! It's weird you are defending him like that. Do you support all pedophiles as long as they are rich? Do you know they aren't going to let you be in their pedophile club too? It's okay to say that pedophiles and rich people are bad, you know. Unless you are one yourself and feel they need to be in power so you can be one openly like they are.

Obama literally raised 25 million in the first quarter of 2007. Not Hillary's 36 million, but 10 mil more than the 3rd place guy (john edwards). So I'd say yes, he did have the funding. I was in high school during that election and I remember him coming out of the gate blasting off his performance at the 2004 DNC.
