It wouldn’t hurt to bring this up the next time someone tells you Trump is an anti-war candidate.

    I know someone who was born in Palestine (but spent most of his life in the US) who will be voting for Trump because, and these are his words, “I just think he’ll be better”.

    Not even worth having the convo.

          Hate to break it to you, but Trump is all in on that genocide. Plus there’s, you know, everything else that makes Trump terrible.

            You’re obviously right, Trump is worse.

            But it’s hard to deny the cold reality of your comment: You are openly supporting a politician who you admit is genocidal, and you are getting upvoted for it.

            The “lesser of two evils” logic continues to deteriorate the quality of our candidates and their responsiveness to the wishes of the American people.

            Do you see a way, in the future, to break out of this “lesser of two evils” death spiral? Or in 2032 will you be supporting Zombie Reagan(D) because he is less evil than Zombie Hitler®?

              In our current system we don’t really have a choice. FPTP basically ensures there will only be two viable candidates and they’ll come from the established parties.

        How can you say the rhetoric isn’t better when his rhetoric includes sending anyone who complains to Palestine to be killed with them? He’s literally threatened to kill you for complaining about the war. Had biden threatened to send you into the genocide fields for having the gaul to complain?

          Good comment, but in case anyone is wondering,

          “gall”, as in gall bladder, as in ‘strong stomach’. Gauls did get stereotyped by romans as complainers I guess.
