I agree with Donald Trump on everything - @geneva_convenience@lemmy.ml

You see how that format works? It shows attribution, in both our cases falsely so. Saying someone said something they didn't isn't "parody", it's not funny, it's just dishonest. Though I don't know why I'm bothering arguing with someone clearly intent on spreading disinformation...

whats problematic about Sanders's stand is that he rejects the idea that what Israel is doing is genocide, while also condemning the violence.

I dont think many of us on this thread have opinions that disagree with each other.

edit: its also pretty damned problematic that he opposes BDS and signs legislation that tries to make it illegal.

I think what's more problematic is opposing BDS and opposing a one state solution

ugh, I wasnt aware he opposes BDS. He's clearly a bit of a douche where Israel is concerned.
