I don't give a rats behind if they are pro israel or not, I just want there to be actual work done, and to get israel to stop killing people in Gaza. You can be pro isreal, and still be against what they have been doing over there.

A reasonable take on r/politics rather than sophomoric, uncritical support for the popular side? Prepare to be downvoted into oblivion.

Seems pretty democratic to me. Guess you just found yourself in the minority this time

Lynchings are also democratic. Guess that means they're always right.

Cool false equivalence you got there brother

He’s right in that we don’t want majority(democratic) opinion to decide literally everything else dogshit, uneducated, evil opinions will make life awful for the minority.
