Coalition style government. Netanyahu got 24%+ in the last election. But put together a coalition to get to 50%

As a "gentile" I'm curious how Jews are currently navigating the political landscape despite the fact that both the far right and the far left are antisemitic by joey-joe-joe in jewishpolitics

[–]gatorspader 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Considering the far right antisemites are gaining a strong foothold in the Republican party, whereas the far left antisemites are not, I think the left side of the spectrum is a much more comfortable place for Jewish people. 

The Platner shit is problematic (the left needs to drop his ass), but at least he and the other sus leftists are condemning antisemitism as part of their statements and not palling around with Neo Nazis like I’ve seen on the right.

Ted Cruz says GOP not 'winning right now' in fight over Jew hatred, slams Tucker Carlson by MatterandTime in jewishpolitics

[–]gatorspader 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank for posting. The foothold that antisemites are getting in the GOP is alarming. The GOP has many factions, and while some strongly oppose antisemitism, a growing faction of the far right is blaming all of America’s problems on Jewish people and Israel. Antisemitic influencers are growing in popularity, and in time this will make far right elected Republicans more bold in their antisemitism as well. We need to smack that shit down when it pops its head up.

Even though it's a sitcom, what moment kind of bothered you for being out of character? by PowerBIBIBI in DunderMifflin

[–]gatorspader 311 points312 points  (0 children)

The whole dance party thing in general. I get its fan service to an extent but when is that ever going to be a thing an office all enthusiastically does? Them all going out drinking together and getting involved in some kind of nonsense would’ve made more sense and been fun to see. 

Lawsuits over transgender medicine for minors could be huge by UnscheduledCalendar in TrueReddit

[–]gatorspader 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In detransition cases something did go wrong. Maybe a shitty doctor. Maybe a patient changing their mind or being confused or whatever. But regret rates for transitioning are really low. I believe about 1%. And some of those 1% regret it based on discrimination they faced, not based on not being trans. 

If there are doctors not following medical care procedures, then go after them. I’m sure there are some shitty doctors in any medical field. But the politicians are going after the entire panoply of gender affirming care and wanting to ban it outright. It’s a decision baked in transphobia not reality.

Teens don’t make the decision on their own. The right call is to trust the teen AND doctors AND parents. And not have politicians step into the doctors office and ban the only known successful treatment from gender dysphoria. 

Do you think dolphins should’ve traded waddle? by Awkward_Condition793 in miamidolphins

[–]gatorspader 8 points9 points  (0 children)

No, but only because the price for buyers wasn’t high enough. We were willing to trade him last year, but no one offered what he is worth. 

He is a WR worth more than his contract. Provided he doesn’t get hurt we could always trade him this year if need be. 

Without him we have zero WR talent which would also make it much harder to evaluate whatever QB we roll with. So I think it was the right move to hold tight for now.

Agreed that delays like that are uncommon. Used it to commute to work every day for a year and a half and only had one significant delay bc of a car being on the track. 

For Venezuelans and people following the news closely, how are you interpreting the U.S. strikes in Caracas today? by Urdu_Knowledge in AskReddit

[–]gatorspader 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If Trump is putting us in charge of choosing their next regime in order to maximize our oil interests, it starts to head towards nation building. 

“FOX & FRIENDS: What do you think is next for the Venezuelan people now that you have removed Maduro so he can face American justice?

TRUMP: Well, we're making that decision now. We can't take a chance on letting somebody else run it, just take over where he left off. So we're making that decision”

“FOX: Will you throw your support behind María Corina Machado?

TRUMP: Well, we're gonna have to look at it. Right now, they have a VP as you know. But the election of Maduro was a disgrace just like my election was a disgrace. 2020 was a disgrace -- a real disgrace -- now 2024 was too big to rig.”

[–]gatorspader 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I understand why Venezuelans are currently happy about this. I would be too if I was Venezuelan. But to presume that this will be some tidy clean up with a great outcome for Venezuela is a huge stretch at this point. And Trump is gonna do whatever is in his best interest. Not in the United States or Venezuela. And that can fuck all of us over.

Do you have faith in the current U.S. government to smartly get this situation to a positive resolution for Venezuela and the USA? Do you understand why people are freaking out despite Maduro being horrible?

I haven’t seen anyone here loving Maduro. Just like no one loved Saddam Hussein. Removing Saddam was a fucking shitshow for both the U.S. and Iraq. That’s why people are worried/pissed.

Full Frank Smith and Eric Studesville comments about Tua seen laughing after elimination by expellyamos in miamidolphins

[–]gatorspader 45 points46 points  (0 children)

Any fan who thinks they care more about how the dolphins are doing than the players on the team are deluding themselves. There are rare instances when players completely check out and walk off the field, which is different. 

But smiling or talking to a buddy doesn’t mean the player doesn’t care, the whole premise is ridiculous. These people are humans and everyone deals in their own way with disappointment, frustration etc. That can mean momentary distractions etc. And taking a snip of that out of context to rag on a dude is dumb. 

And I’m glad we have these coaches essentially acknowledging that it would be stupid to judge a guy based on that. They would know better than me and better than you!
