You're moving the goalposts from "pushing". It also leaves a bad taste in ones mouth that you brought up his Jewish background unprompted.

I do wonder how your account is still active. Every time I see your name, it is in connection with you lowering the quality of conversation by introducing aggressive ad-hominems, dehumanizing language, insults and attempts to derail instead of engagement with points made. This time, it even has strong undertones of antisemitic Jewish world conspiracy theories. Is this level of discourse really what we should be striving for around here?

It is only problematic because you brought up his ethnicity, out of nowhere, in a clear nod to Nazi ideology.

I had no idea he was Jewish, nor do I care. It has no effect on how I feel about him (which is poorly, because hes an American oligarch interfering with our democratic process).

The fact you brought his ethnic identity into it, without any conceivable reason, however, reeks of antisemitic stereotypes.

People can just be bad people. No need to bring their ethnic belonging into it, especially when it stokes the same flames that have brought horrendous cruelties before.

Your own definition proves my point on the pushing. "Pushing a law is the process of getting a bill enacted." That is indeed what he did by lobbying. The list of examples above is not exhaustive, as denoted by the word "includes".

> That ethnicity is executing mass genocide in Gaza and is over 85%of the Epstein list perpetrators.

My friend, now you have crossed from implied antisemitism into open antisemitism.

Jews are not the same as Israelis. My lefty Jewish friends are all anti-Zionist. Conflating them is antisemitism.

> I brought it up because ethnicities are used as shield so that useful idiots seen above defend criminal

How can something be used as a shield or as anything for that matter if other people are not bringing it up or even aware of it?

The only one to ever bring it up is you, in connection with him manipulating the EU's democratic processes. He did in fact do that. But to try and connect it to his ethnic belonging into it is to harken back to the same conspiracy theories that devastated Europe a hundred years ago. Some reading material: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Jewish_conspirac...

Please rethink your ways. Stop being so toxic. Stop spreading antisemitism. Stop insulting other people. Stop with the pathologization of dissent, another callback to Europe's darkest hours.

I will not engage in this thread any further, as I truly believe nothing productive can come from it now that you have gone fully mask off. I hope the mods take action accordingly.

One last point regarding the pushing, nowhere does it say anything about legal abilities. Anyone can push a law. Any act involved in passing it is pushing, lobbying, voting, calling your rep, whatever. You keep trying to twist definitions to fit your preset conclusions. Your own source never narrowed it down the way you're trying to.
