    Ah, yes, because when you lose your ‘war powers’, it’s clearly the end of your ‘dictatorship’. By that logic, every parent who enforces a bedtime is running a household dictatorship. Netanyahu’s not a dictator; he’s just really good at playing ‘keep away’ with democracy’s keys

    After all, why bother with the nuances of governance when we can just throw around ‘dictator’ like confetti at a political party nobody asked for?

      I’m not sure where you’re going with that parental metaphor, cuz that’s exactly what I’m doing. It’s absolutely not a democracy, they don’t get to vote.

      -120 on your downvote score, theres something you dont see very often. I’m curious to see how low it can go-- this article is just a day old.

      Can we get to -500 folks?

      Yeah because obstructing democracy so you can stay in power is totally not dictator behaviour.🙄

            aw man, I hope his first comment can stay up so we can see how many downvotes it can get, for science. Mods please leave NOT_ROBERT’s first hateful comment up? This last one however, violates TOS when he called the other guy “someone with intellectual disabilities”, so that needs a flush.
