And here I was of the general impression the user in question was just a bot that reposts the subreddit.

No one is really checking where and how people are operating from for those nuances to come out.

Judging from the points being made here in this thread, clearly there was little reading of the article to begin with.

Even article headline uses 'Arab-American' and 'Pro-palestinian' interchangeably. The perfect level of wrong that creates a bunch of uncertainty and confusion.

Ted Cruz For Human President was a different time.

That super cool one with Dean Philips and Marianne Williamson. But frankly there wasn't really a ready pool of willing candidates, and there still isn't.

The very public V.P. courtship process was sort of the de facto primary we got. Or the closest thing to it.

You know the GOP elites weren't really outvoted. A lot of them are comfortably still in office. A bunch of others just retired and handed them the keys. The biggest gift Trump gave the GOP is his ability to be a lightning rod of controversy and dominate the news cycle.

He is the best cover and distraction from their dogshit policies they could ever have dreamed of.

I assume these are some random internet takes and not actual points that being made academically or with any authority? I recall a recent thread where people were confusing post WW2 famine in the USSR with the Holodomor, which parallels a bit with what's up here.

First, let's elevate the material conditions of 1.3 billion people to 'Average American' status, then we'll talk.

I'm still waiting for evidence of this supposed "apartheid" that people keep going on about.

It has been evidenced and been in discourse widely and long enough to have its own wikipedia entry. Human rights organizations like Amnesty International have definitely made the case. What evidence are you waiting for?

Also, the reference to Israel being an "apartheid state" is the most ludicrous statement and anyone who expressed it can be safely ignored.

Well I'd love to hear the argument that tries to back this statement up.
