The #1 thing I've noticed this go round is how the best even the most dem pundits and supporters can come up with is "Yeah Biden does it but Trump will do it worse"

I’m not even convinced that’s true when it comes to this issue. Trump, at least, narcissistically cares about what people think of him enough that he could maybe be swayed by public opinion. Biden has been a hardline Zionist his entire career and sees backing Israel to the hilt despite the public outcry as a moral imperative.

Besides, how do you get worse than eagerly aiding a genocide?

when Trump was in office, liberals at least pretended to care. They took COVID somewhat seriously, masked up out of spite, they paid lip service to the BLM protests. These past 4 years they've truly gone back to brunch. maybe if ol' Mango Mussolini gets back in, they'll pretend to give a shit again.

Yeah. I don’t know Trump would help this situation at all but it wouldn’t be this bullshit. That’s for sure. And I want to be very clear I do not and did not want a president trump.

Ttumo has explicitly said he thinks Israel needs to finish the job.

Jesus Christ, inform yourself before you say shit like this.

Trump says a lot doesn’t mean him or his party would be doing the same if they were in this role lol.

If you want to believe that Ttunp is lying to you about his feelings towards Palestinians, than there is nothing I can say to change your mind.

That is pure uninformed lunacy and you absolutely know better.

I think he wouldn't be as good at it, and there would be more public outrage.

So... You think the path to ending the genocide is get Trump elected and continue complaining and just hope it goes well?

Eagerly aiding a genocide while also doing one at home, but you know biden wouldn't stop it if the fascists just did one, so he's not really better than trump OK that either.

At least if trump tries to genocide me, he'll be using poorly primed hierarchal power and you'll get a lot of mutinies. Like, a non-trump fasch genocide is blood in the streets, and I'm so fucking shit at that, so my odds are like 10% and its definitely a bad time. If trump orders it, There's a 50/50 chance the local air force base mutinies and flips on him because poverty draft, and I either get s hellfire missile or I don't.
