If genocide didn't change your mind....
I agree. Absolutely disgusting. And people are even campaigning for Donald specifically so he can "finish the job" in Gaza with the same fervor that he dropped bombs on Yemen. There is no depth to how awful MAGAs can be.
Especially disgusting are the MAGAs cosplaying as leftists. It's repugnant that they pretend they are against genocide when they want pogroms. They see this blood libel conspiracy against Haitian people in Ohio and they want more. They are sick racists actually excited for more killings of the groups they hate.
Danald Tramp never would have sent weapons to Israel, you’re right!
You're speculating on what might happen while ignoring what's going on right now.
No, I'm going on what Trump and dozens of high level Republicans have very clearly stated about the current war, as well as the long history of Republicans supporting Israel with funds and weapons. That isn't speculation at all.
Yeah, well, you're speculating on what Trump might do by saying 'finish the job.' Biden and Harris are providing the money and weapons for Netanyahu to finish the job right now
Let's see, would Trump be better for Palestinians? To the extent we should work to get him elected versus Harris over this issue? Well, one would have to be incredibly stupid or just a trump supporter or both to think that. Trump would come with a bonus of a few different genocides - Ukraine, Central American immigrants to the US, trans people - and absolutely continue finding and supporting Israel. So what's your point exactly?
This isn't about what trump might do, or what you suppose he might do. This is what's going on right now. And if you keep rewarding bad behavior, that bad behavior is going to keep getting worse.
No, this election is about what Trump might do and what a Harris admin would do better. Getting Trump in office to 'not reward bad behavior' makes no sense at all, considering that Republican behavior is beyond abysmally horrible. We don't get many choices in the US, but it makes sense to be pragmatic and not make things worse.
There are choices but voters are terrified of losing the few stale table scraps they get tossed. While they cling to scraps they could be fighting for the whole damn meal
Ah, glad I tagged this account as having said "Democrat Party" ahead of time.
yeah this is a comment that makes sense coming from an account named "anticolonialist"
Imagine genocide not being someone's red line and trying to call out people opposed to it.
