I wish this story came out a couple of weeks ago for no particular reason.
What did she say that's antisemitic?

I think it'll get held up in the courts to where construction won't start until Trump is at the end of his term anyway?

I'm not pretending to know what happens now though
All we know for sure is that democracy sucks the dong

Democracy works fine if you only let people who pass a civics test vote.

So she's saying that Israel is doing evil things and paying off politicians to keep their mouth shut. If it were any other country people would not care, but since she's criticizing Israel it's antisemitic?

I don’t agree.

Lots of people who understand civics are fascists

The problem is people making decisions for other people and that’s exactly what democracy is all about

The U.S. ain't a democracy though...it's a constitutional republic. ;)

My fascist(?) tendency is to think: Uneducated people shouldn't be allowed to vote. Voting should be a privilege, not a right.

But I think that's a wrong way to go about it. I'm not actually interested in politics, so I'm open to getting my mind changed about this.
