    Sorry I’m not going to “but he’s just a widdle guy and it’s complicated” when Biden sent over another $1 Billion in arms to Israel today. If trump was funding this genocide right now, you’d be acting differently.

      Probably because trump would be wholeheartedly fueling the fucking fire. You know, like what’s going to end up happening if people fuck around leading up to this November

          When trump nukes Palestine at least you’ll feel great about “supporting” it with your absurd Russian roulette tactics

            The whole point of this imperialist project is to take something valuable from someone else. Why the hell would trump nuke the valuable waterfront property which Jared Kushner (and honestly probably trump himself) wants to buy as well as negatively impact the entire region for the rest of human life on earth? Do you have to escalate to near impossibilities to seem worse than what biden is currently doing? Half a million Palestinians are starving due to manufactured famine and you’d want that trajectory to continue because in a future they won’t be alive for, you would speculate they have it worse. Do you honestly care about their lives or are you using them for political leverage for your own sake?

            If you don’t want the threat of another trump presidency, it’s time for you to start joining others to urge biden to reverse course, because you won’t be able to convince me that supporting genocide is a single issue that can be overlooked.

                If genocide isn’t a single issue that’s worth being a line in the sand for you, what is? Am I speaking to someone without a spine or without a heart?

                  We both know trump will make it worse, and you’re advocating for trump whether accidentally or not. It gets harder and harder to buy that people don’t understand the two party system, i just have to assume you don’t care about actual consequences, only feeling superior. Which your last question hints at.

                    Do I feel superior to someone who thinks genocide isn’t a non-negotiable? Sure. But the issue here is that biden would rather lose to trump than change course and do the right (and also popular) thing. He might take down the entire Democratic Party with him as well, and then we’re stuck with a single party with trump at the head. Biden’s team knows how unpopular this all is. And with the general theme of elections being “republicans fall in line, democrats fall in love”, biden having a lower approval rating than trump is such a wild warning sign. If Biden loses, the blame will be his own.
