I must have missed the part of the movie where Leia devotes a significant amount of her planets resources to building the deathstar while her constituents screamed for her to stop

Evidently you did, because it’s mentioned that she was a member of the Imperial Senate right up till it was dissolved. She participated directly in the government that built a weapon of mass destruction and used it to commit a genocidal act of state terrorism. Thankfully, a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away, they never invented purity testing so people like you weren’t wrenching their spines in an effort to suck their own dicks about it.

Clearly, the solution is to vote in the Imperial Senate if you want to affect change.

Unless you’re trying to say Kamala Harris is secretly working for Hamas or something?

Well you would have to have a spine to know what thats like so I understand why the people bravely tonguing the asshole of the administration lying to us and circumventing Congress to continue arming their pet dictator’s ethnic cleansing wouldn’t get it

Maybe if you plugged away at it for a while you could come up with an even more flaccid and contrived rebuttal.

She was still in the senate when her ship was captured by Vader at the beginning of Star Wars.

Leia: I’m a member of the Imperial Senate on a diplomatic mission to Alderaan.

Vader: You are part of the Rebel Alliance and a traitor.

I see that you understand that, much like a vice president, that is something someone with the powers of a princess can do.

Did Leia keep claiming she wants the most lethal military in the galaxy too?

She was a leading figure in a paramilitary organisation, both before and after the death of the emperor. So, maybe?

What do you think the United States is more like? A guerilla insurgency or a miltaristic empire imposing its will on the rest of society?

Leia was leader of the imperial police?

Y’all can’t distinguish between movies and reality.

In this analogy, did Princess Leia build the Death Star and blow up Alderaan? Ridiculous levels of whitewashing.

Nope and nope.

Guess who’s ringing up Netanyahu telling him not to agree authenticity the ceasefire? Yes, that’s right, the nation’s most popular insurrectionist and peace hater, Donald J Trump, and guess whose geriatric genocidal actions were not mentioned by you at all in a heroic act of something I’m sure psychologists have a name for, yes that’s right, it’s that loony loopy idtiot former president, losing his marbles in public on the television, yes, it’s two for two, good old (well, ok, old at least), Donald J Trump!

Do you think Biden needs Trump’s approval to stop sending Netanyahu weapons?

I think Trump has been ringing up Netanyahu regularly to argue against Israel agreeing to Biden’s ceasefire plan, like he said he is, so Trump is working to keep the genocide in Gaza going and you can’t bring yourself to admit this or talk about it while Trump felt admits it and even boasts of it in public.

(I deleted that comment because I accidentally posted it twice. It’s one of the other replies to your post.)

NYT thinks Israel has a massive stockpile of weapons, other suppliers and actually recently exported a record value of arms in the year containing the October 7 attack and the insane obliterative war that Israel launched in response. I don’t think Israel is worried about running out of weapons any time soon, because they’ve opened up another front against Lebanon!

You know who could stop the war today? Netanyahu. Do you know who’s telling him not to stop on the phone, on a regular basis? Trump. He even boasts of it.

taken in… grade A moron… you’re dumb.

I don’t appreciate being called names just because you disagree with me, and I don’t think it strengthens your case that you resort to that as a debating tactic.

I’m sure Star wars fans will understand the nuance. Not like most of them unironically like stormtroopers.

Who do you think is president right now? I know you probably wish it was Putin or Xi, but let’s just focus on the US candidates as they are, even if its hard. And let’s be clear: neither is a lefty, but one is much, MUCH closer than the other.

Yea, everyone knows that when one party is in office all the opposing party members go on vacation until a president from their party is elected 🤡

You’re an absolute idiot, the parties comprise the government regardless of who’s POTUS.
