After the last 25 years of American presidential elections, I’m more convinced than ever that I cannot trust a minority or a majority of them to make the right choices.
Tangentially and rhetorically, I wish Trump were president right now so that non-right-wing Americans could be convinced that genocide’s not a good look.
If the candidates were Trump and Mecha-Hitler the libs would feverishly support Trump for his "moderate stances"
Agreed. And just like we can now realize Bush Jr. was not the worst president ever, we will one day see that Trump wasn’t either.
I imagine there are few workarounds for voters in first-past-the-post nations.
As of January, 63% of Democrats think Israel has gone too far vs. 33% of Republicans.
24% of Republicans think Israel hasn’t gone far enough vs. 9% of Democrats.

Also, Palestine isn’t the only concern regarding genocide and US support.
Russia is committing genocide in Ukraine. They’ve abducted over 700,000 Ukrainian children to be raised as Russians since the beginning of the war.
If Trump takes office in November, Ukraine will lose all US support.
