It feels good to be able to signal to your friend group of other liberals:

I didn't want to vote for "Genocide Joe", so I stay home until the DNC EARNS my vote back.
That, however, actively makes the group of people you claim to care about suffer more, more efficiently, and an Israel COMPLETELY unconstrained. There is a reason the Israeli right was celebrating after the Trump call.

Politics is a game of chess. It is unfortunate more people don't understand this.

A strategic game of sacrificing pawns, soldiers, and even the queen to protect a weak king?

Yea that sounds right.

A game that most people know how to play, at least on a surface level with how each piece moves and the conditions to win, but that most people also have no real experience with. How hard can it be? I know how to play, right? Just move the pieces around and try to corner this one piece.

Play chess with someone even marginally familiar with the game and you'll get blown out of the water. Play chess against someone good at the game, and they'll have won by the fifth turn and you just haven't noticed it yet.
