What a horrendous situation. Some people are just animals... and I feel like I'm insulting some animals a bit by saying that. I googled, but was unable to find any info on whether he's been to trial or sentenced yet. Hopefully soon.

Yeah, I think that's more just actually saying "Robert", but with a heavy accent.

Pretty much. Except Beto is the nickname for Roberto in Spanish, just like Bob is the nickname for Robert in English.

Also, since I think of it every time I see SpongeBob, I just want to let others know that his name translated to Spanish is "Esponja Beto Pantalones Quadrados".

Wouldn't his underpants need to be square as well? His show name is Sponge Bob's Square Pants, after all. Or maybe those aren't his underpants he's sniffing...

I think what gets them is that they feel they actively voted for someone that they feel is complicit with genocide. It's that actively supporting part. It sucks that they get hung up on that because unfortunately a vote for not Biden is effectively a vote for Trump, in a very critical election.

Yes, the right wing blindly supports Israel, much more so than most Dems in my opinion. A lot of it has to do with Christianity and Israel needing to exist in order to bring about the rapture, according to the Bible.

Either way, this stuff can turn volatile when say, foreign troll farms push it to the right groups, and I don't think the polls can account for things like that.

Another wrench the polls have no mechanizm to account for that's been thrown in here is the whole Gaza - Israel issue that seems to be currently weaponized against Biden, with no relent in sight. If they can keep convincing people that Biden is the new Hitler, who knows how much apathy or protest votes will be sown in to the Democratic effort. The poll has no way to factor for stuff like that.
