I just have a hard time believing that black Christians will vote for an Arab Muslim.

To add, be honest. I don’t like Muslims. I think they have a really bad ideology and think it’s corrosive to human flourishing. Moreover, I consider it a threat to me. So I don’t mind budget cuts solely targeted at Muslims. I consider that a positive thing.
Maybe you feel that way about Jews. But own it.

I highly doubt that is true.

Transing kids (and the culture that promotes it) affects me. What happens in Israel doesn’t really affect me.

My point is that your example is backwards. As a matter of the federal budget, Israel funding is de minimis. I’m all for cutting it and all other foreign aid (along with a great many other things). But I do find it interesting when people advocate for spending a lot more on foreign aid and other items complain about the cost of funding Israel.

Except that isn’t the case. As another poster mentioned, the money spent doesn’t count the U.S. bases located abroad. So for example Korea gets a massive benefit via the U.S. base located there.

It’s telling that it is a a black church. Really have to wonder if black Christians are going to vote for an Arab Muslim.

Of course it was an attack on her support of gender ideology. Her views were insane and should be criticized. And she lost in part for having insane views.
I support Massie aims and find AIPACs attacks against Masse disingenuous since Massie’s support was to cut spending on pretty much everything.
But most people who complain about Israeli funding are at the same time demanding more and more funding for Ukraine. It doesn’t make you think “maybe it really isn’t about aid?”

Money is being freely given to tons of people. But seemingly only hatred is directed towards Jews.

Misleading post. First, you except Ukraine treating that as extraordinary). But there is always something extraordinary. Before Ukraine there was Afghanistan and Iraq.
Second, aid to Egypt and Jordan might benefit the Israel but please bifurcate.
Third, the very same people demand more aid for Ukraine and were convulsing over shutting down USAID.
So no, their claim wasn’t about shutting aid down generally—just specifically.

We spend tons of our money on tons of stupid things that benefits others. If the goal was to end foreign aide, I’m behind it. But it never is—it’s always just “end giving money to Israel” because people hate Jews.

I could literally say the same thing about thousands of things the U.S. government does. It spends massive sums of money. And the candidate whose ad this supports wants to spend an inordinate amount more via M4A. Yes, he obviously wants to cut Israeli aide (while probably increasing aide to Muslim countries) but on net will spend way more.
So it isn’t actually an argument about austerity or even foreign aide—it’s just hating on Israel. That is, it’s an isolated demand for rigor.

It depends on how close things are. If El-Sayed is up five points then no. If he is up +1, then maybe. If he is down -1, then probably gives the election to Rogers.

I think the common argument for Clancy supporters was that she must be insane; how else can you explain what she did?

I wonder if you are reversing cause and effect. University is really the only organic in person dating scene left. Dating at work is at best uncouth these days.

Per the above, he slapped a phone out of her hands. That really isn’t abusive.
I think it’s true by the standards of the American electorate. Talarico is quite radical
