The former president has publicly waffled on the Israel-Gaza war. But he told wealthy donors he supports Israel’s right to continue “its war on terror.”
Sorry, but this comparison just made me lose most of my respect for you. We are NOTHING like them. There are comparisons to be made, but at the end of the day the differences are not ignorable.
if he thought he’d lose votes he’d stop supporting genocide
Older voters still show support for israel. A united Gen X voting bloc would still not be enough to flip the majority Israel opinion.
Voters like you, blue no matter who’s
I always vote based on the candidates. If a republican was truly better, I would vote for them. Fat chance though.
If he wins he’ll take that lesson and turn it back on us, he could shoot someone walking down 5th Avenue and not lose any votes.
Ok, get back to me when your vacation to fantasyland is over. Reminder that Trump literally DID directly cause the deaths of American citizens by doing things like promoting Covid denial and giving Russians information on US spy operations, causing our operatives to be found and killed, but you’re too busy imagining scenarios where Biden suddenly decides to shoot someone for no reason that you can’t see Trump doing basically exactly that FOR REAL, as soon as he was put into power.
P.S. You know when an excellent time to vote for a better democratic candidate was? The primaries.
You know, if I could snap my fingers and make it not a “vote for my guy or else you’re going to cause crazy levels of harm” situation, I would do it in a heartbeat. The problem is that the Republicans have put us in a situation that is so one-sided that any accurate communication about that situation is easy to dismiss as bias. They’re literally bad beyond belief, to the point that people won’t vote them out because they literally do not believe they could be that bad.
Only because Covid happened mostly in Biden’s term. Trump influenced the Republican party to reject masks and vaccines and contributed to their 15% higher mortality rate.
Trump isn’t better, but he isn’t worse. The choice this November is between polite Hitler and rude Hitler. That’s it.
Fuck off lmao you either know that’s not true or you’re so far beyond delusional that I cannot reach you.
I do not care when members of the empire’s army get killed. Miss me with that shit lol
First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a socialist.
Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a trade unionist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.
Between gerrymandering, the inherently unbalanced nature of the Senate, the House being too small to proportionally represent the population, and multiple presidents in my lifetime losing the popular vote? It’s foolish to believe America is a democracy.
That’s why it doesn’t matter that the majority of Americans are opposed to the genocide and why our politicians ignore us.
We’re a very reformed undemocratic settler-colonial state and those reforms have attempted to make the US more democratic over the centuries, but we haven’t come that far from the founding when elections were just a way to survey the wants and needs of white male property owners. Much like Israel, calling this is a “democracy” is an insult to all the people whose votes don’t count, or count for less, aren’t allowed to vote at all, or votes get thrown out because of some procedural bullshit that overrides their democratic will.

The majority of COVID deaths happened under Biden. Meanwhile, Trump never did genocide and Biden is doing it right now.

Also?

First they came for the Palestinians, what the are you talking about? Polite Hitler is doing genocide! Fascism is already here!
It’s foolish to believe that democracy could not commit genocide.

We’re not an ideal democracy, but the people still vote on public positions so yeah we’re a democracy

You’re not wrong in spirit but you’re still wrong on the terminology. We are a democracy, it could just use more improvements.
