What's your solution? Allow Hamas to regroup and commit another atrocity? She has intelligent advisors telling her Hamas must be completely destroyed. They're the ones using civilians as human shields. Never negotiate with terrorists.

Unless you’re willing to accept and support the reality that (national, especially) politics is an entertainment industry, you’d agree with me that 4 consecutive nights in front of 20k people is completely unnecessary.
Plus, most people don’t even vote.
Also yeah this is wild that we have at least 3 different threads covering the same conversation. I hate it to my core.

That first sentence came out wrong (I think?).
Anyway this is all just meaningless theatre.

Nihilism isn't when you fall for the political theatre

By no showing the convention, Taylor Swift and Beyonce have endorsed Donald Trump. I don't like the rules either, but this is just the way these things work. The science has spoken.

I thought political theatre was when you get assassinated while watching a play at a theatre.

I admit I don’t have a solution, but I’d say that not bombing hospitals and allowing food and medicine to pass through to hostages would be at the top of my wish list
They're bombing them where they are. They are the ones hiding in hospitals, again, using people as human shields. It is Hamas' strategy to harm Israel's reputation, not to win the war, and it seems to be working.
