Democrats appear to have no problem sending arms to support Israel or continuing our current defense relationship. What constantly rubs mainstream Democrats the wrong way is how little progress Netanyahu has made with any kind of peace negotiations with the Palestinians, and the constant building of new settlements in Area C. Those Democrats are also for border security and immigration reform, just not a wall, and not the tactics that Trump has been using. You need to stop thinking the squad represents mainstream Democrats, and look more towards Pelosi and Schumer. 3-4 representatives do not trump nearly 200 congresspeople.Reading #11 again, I probably misread that one. |

I agree that I misread #11, but I don't think it is that bad if big oil or the remaining Koch or whichever rich right-wing nut were to buy Facebook or Twitter. That would cause such a backlash that some other social media platform would sprout up, and Facebook and Twitter will end up going the way of Myspace. Now, if Microsoft, Google, or Amazon suddenly went extreme right wing, that would cause a problem. |

And the leadership of the “Palestinians” has never been interested in peace. They only want to wipe Israel off the map and make the land Jew free. The Democrats idea of immigration reform is amnesty for all (see DACA as first step), providing more rights to illegals than to citizens (see New York), doing away with ICE, and completely open borders. |

Your last sentence is a great argument for a national popular vote. Do Republicans in New York or Democrats in Idaho feel like their voices count when it is a foregone conclusion that their preferred candidate will lose the state’s electoral votes? The EC does not give the 50 states a somewhat equal voice because every state has a minimum of 3 electors regardless of population. |

Look at how many people voted for DeBlassio, and how many people hate them.What you gave is the talking point that is the problem, not the electorial college. New York could have a different mayor. It could even vote for President had it wanted to. But everyone keeps repeating that same nonsense garbage, and no one goes out to vote, and you get politicans elected by what, 8% of the population? New York City's mayor, and it's other local politicans prove that it's not the electorial college that's an issue. If you can't even vote for your own local positions, what makes spider-pig think it'll change for the better for President? It won't. |

Not to mention that it completely makes the votes worthless in the lopsided vote states, both red and blue. Texas is equally worthless on the red side as California is on the blue.Basically, the EC priorities the votes of people in some states over others, the validity of the votes in these states being arbitrary at best. Why are the votes of people in the large cities of Columbus, Miami and Philadelphia more important than the votes of the many rural areas in places like Texas or California? |

Area C is the part that Israel controls under the Oslo accords. But I feel that more settlement building serves no real purpose and is a waste of Israeli resources and good will. Worse, the settlements generate tremendous hostility to Israel. I understand that some hostility to Israel is just anti-Semitism, and nothing Israel can do will end that. But some of it is genuine outrage (even if skewed by the fact that many of the outraged people don't express the same outrage toward Russia and China). The settlements are costing Israel hugely. |

Those are entirely independent issues.If you want to extend your argument to presidential elections, most people hate Trump, and yet he's the president.

In Region 2, 70% of the population votes for Candidate B and 30% for Candidate A.Who wins the election? According to you, it should be Candidate A because "Region 1" has almost 60% of the electoral votes and "Region 2" has more than 40% of the electoral votes. |

What's interesting is that the venerable "Republican Party" will not be rendered a permanent minority, they'll find a niche to the right of the Democrats, IOW, people we now call moderates, because they won't all become Democrats.
