People don't like genocide? Pretty straightforward. Some things cannot be excused by "the other side is worse."

@JustZ@lemmy.world IDF now "looking into" it. Do you believe the video now?

I agree it's super helpful to show people! Just thought it was worth pointing out that the numbers for each swing state are relatively low. But you're right about the overall trend and the results for the whole sample taken together.

Worth noting relatively small samples from each state:

IMEU Policy Project and YouGov’s survey was conducted July 25-Aug. 9. 387 voters were surveyed in Arizona, with a margin of error of 5.7%. 374 voters were surveyed in Georgia, with a margin of error of 5.4%. 369 voters were surveyed in Pennsylvania, with a margin of error of 5.3%

But overall this still seems to confirm what we would hope: people who are not staunch MAGA lunatics will vote for you more if you don't arm a genocidal state. So all of the "pragmatic" arguments for maintaining the status quo so dems don't lose votes don't seem to hold weight. The best time to stop arms sales was a long time ago, the second best time is now

Sorry but you are now Hamas

This type of comment is always hilarious to me. We're talking about it right now. Nobody has been called bigoted. It's fine.

Also seems like they are labelled

I wonder how often they update the ratings?

Plus, overall, the difference between:

Donald Trump was a terrible president

And:

OPINION: Donald Trump was a terrible president

Does not seem like it warrants downgrading a website's fact rating. But if it was:

OPINION: Donald Trump was a terrible president and was able to fly unassisted

Then they need to be downgraded. The opinion label is basically irrelevant

A linguistic metric of analytic thinking shows that Trump’s levels of complexity have always been unmistakably low, said Pennebaker. Whereas most presidential candidates are in the 60 to 70 range, Trump’s speeches range from 10 to 24. “I can’t tell you how staggering this is,” said Pennebaker. “He does not think in a complex way at all.”

This is just science for "he's dumb as fuck"

You also didn't answer the question on why you think Genocide shouldn't be a reductive label.

Seems like they're avoiding answering direct questions about their beliefs or even fully explaining them. Why you might do that is anyone's guess

You're so close to seeing your presupposed framing for what it is.

Please just spell it out for me and stop this bullshit.

There you go again. I'm not sure why you feel the need to ascribe your brain dump binaries onto me, as if somehow I can only believe the things you make up for me.

You could just clarify. Good VP choice, yes or no?

Also that's not an assumption, that's a prediction.

Not a good one so far.

What happened to "I don’t really care dude"? Seems like you suddenly care again. When did that change?

Perhaps you should read more carefully. You said that tripling down doesn't make me look smarter. I don't care about that.
