It’s weird how much people miss the point on this topic. You’re doing exactly what I just commented about. If someone else had been President, 98% chance they would have done the exact same things.

Yes you've made your point very clear, you accept genocide because it suits your domestic political desires.

Apparently not that clear since you don’t seem to get it and are saying offensive nonsense. Conversations like this always make me wonder if people are just being disingenuous. The only other alternatives are you think Palestine is the only important thing in the world, or have reading comprehension difficulties. Or maybe don’t get US politics at all.

The way the US works right now, the people don’t have the power to choose politicians who would not support Israel. It’s just a fact. We can change our lack of true democracy, but it’s going to take a while. In the meantime, bashing Biden and helping Trump get elected gave absolutely no help to Palestine. Trump’s own remarks make this clear. I don’t “accept genocide” but I have no choice, and as I’ve been trying to point out to people for the entire year, Trump is very obviously much worse on a dozen serious issues, including Ukraine, LGBT rights, immigration, financial and environmental and labor regulations, and corruption. So why get him elected over Palestine when he’s not going to help Palestine but will fuck over tons of other marginalized groups? That makes no sense.
