    I don’t think that’s a moral dilemma for them at all, since Gaza is full of brown and/or muslim people.

        And they’ve won.

        They are insulated from their own hypocrisy by the ratchet effect.

    This is an easy one. Palestinians aren’t people to them, so it can’t be murder.

    The South is also home to most animal agriculture so they have no qualms about systematically slaughtering animals.

    Happy days…

    It all makes sense when you realize that a good number of them feel that Palestinians are not people.

    Don’t worry, doublethink isn’t just a word to them - it’s a way of life.

    All they care about is the unborn. The moment those kids are born their care goes out of the window anyways.

    Technically that’s Republican hypocrisy. Democrats are fine with both forms of murder /s

    There are more registered Republicans in California than Alabama. Stop falling for the “Red State v. Blue State” divisionist B.S.

      If only most of our system wasn’t geared to give a ton of extra voting power to the smaller states, you might have avalid point. Though sad day for you, population and popularity don’t mean as much as you’d hope!

      There’s also almost 8x as many residents in California as there is in Alabama. What’s your point?

        That states as monolithic voting blocs only exist on maps? That dsmissing the views, struggles, and ideologies of more than a third of a state’s population because of them being victims of gerrymandering and generational propaganda and then lumping them in with a hostile regional majority because those same maps only show one color per state is perhaps a bad thing?

          Using relative numbers would give you a better view of how things actually are though… “Oh I have 84% chance for a random person I come across to vote for this party” is more useful than absolute numbers

            In no state do you get anywhere close to a 84% majority for either party. Wyoming is the most one-sided at 75% R, but let’s be honest, the odds of running into any random person in the Equal Rights state (their words, not mine) aren’t too high. Most other states in the US fall somewhere between 40-60% affiliation for either party - characterizing any overall state by whichever side has that majority is, at best, pointlessly reductive and, at worst, downright harmful in ignoring the existence of millions of people fighting for progress in their communities.

            To bring it back to my original comment, 849,624 (36.57% of the vote) people in Alabama voted against all odds for Biden in 2020, knowing that there was almost no chance for him to win. They dealt with whatever barriers the GOP put in place to go out and vote just to send a message to the left that they were there and they were doing everything they could, no matter how futile, to show their support. There are Democrats in Alabama organizing themselves against overwhelming odds, often at the very real threat of violence or death, to try to make their state a little better.

            And you’re discounting all of that by writing off the entire state because “its red on the CNN map.” Do you understand how disheartening that shit is to see repeated? To actually be an activist in the areas that need it most and to risk/sacrifice so much only to be ignored and rediculed for not doing enough to impress armchair warriors in comment sections online?
