You're probably telling wrong. But do provide an example, please. Edit: inb4 it's just a "vote for Biden" comment, while also leaving out the "but still pressure him into withholding support for Israel" part.
Damn, you called it. This is the post she quoted:
Lmao, wasn't expecting a reply. Especially after the edit. Guess I overestimated her.
To be clear, yeah it's for trying to browbeat people into supporting Biden, and how he treats it as a forgone conclusion that the settlers are going to get their land.
I have zero confidence in your ability to pressure democrats, I already spent most of the Iraq war and Obamas terms getting told to fuck off because I was antiwar by my democratic reps not sure why they would suddenly have a change of heart now.

Amazing. I am converted. I will vote for comrade trump and he will stop genocide in Gaza.
Personally my vote is for red triangling the metaphorical trolley
My vote is for people learning to understand the concept of moral metaphors.
Or more to the point, tell me how to stop the trolley completely before the next election. Go.
You can still use the lever clearly, simply flip the lever after one axle of the train has passed over the switch, but before the other axle has. This will force a derailment.
What happens to the people on the trolley? Or those nearby?
It's probably not going to be good, but it's going to be better than what happens to the people on the tracks.
So close to understanding the concept...
Don't worry I'm sure you'll figure out reading between the lines eventually.
Let me know when you derail our election system then. I'll hold my breath.
I'll make sure to let you know the time and location officer 🫡
