Nearly half of Democrats disapprove of Biden’s response to the Israel-Hamas war, AP-NORC poll shows - eviltoast

The poll found 50% of Democrats approve of how Biden has navigated the conflict while 46% disapprove — and the two groups diverge substantially in their views of U.S. support for Israel. Biden’s support on the issue among Democrats is down slightly from August, as an AP-NORC poll conducted then found that 57% of Democrats approved of his handling of the conflict and 40% disapproved.

    Rationalising things kind of demonstrates dogma as much as a religious faith would though so you’re basically just complaining about religious nutters

      No, rationalizing’s FIRST definition is using logic and reasoning to understand things. You are doing the same thing as religious nutters by treating “rational” as if its main root word AND first definition are literally the opposite of what they are.

      Rationalizing is ONLY bad IF you are taking shortcuts and making assumptions. You are choosing to completely and utterly miss the entire point that religion produces the mental justifications for the bad kind of rationalizing. Religion trains people to dismiss using logic and accept easy answers.

      Stop doing the same thing against religion. Stop dismissing analysis just because nutters exist. The nutters aren’t the only ones doing utterly stupid things like ignoring climate change and cheering on religious apartheid in Israel and the US.
