    I truly believe that most of them didn’t even know that Israel and Palestine were in a conflict prior to Oct 7th, and more than most couldn’t point to Palestine on a map.

        Oh, I’m 100% certain of it. I’ll allow for the fact that there’s some outliers around that are aware of the history between the two nations, but the majority talk like they are trying too hard to appear worldly and caring. Which is what you get when you have to manufacture your own outrage.

        It comes off as disingenuous.

        Also, their complete lack of knowing how nuance works in these situations indicates that most of them aren’t old enough to understand how these things work- and that political discourse is a never ending series of compromise.

        Pouting and threatening to not vote has… checks notes- not ONCE in history, resorted in the aforementioned pouter getting their way.

        And the irony is thy think they’re not part of the status quo.
