            Both candidates promised to do that. Only one of them has promised to stop in the future. More importantly, the other one has promised to make life needlessly harder for vulnerable Americans too.

              We went from “Kamala promised to stop the Genocide” to “more importantly, Trump would inconvenience Americans (which aren’t brown people in the middle east)” very quickly.

                Option A:

                • Funneling arms to Israel with intent of eventual peace treaty

                Option B:

                • Funneling arms to Israel with intent of wiping out Palestinians
                • Also making it illegal for vulnerable minorities in America (trans people, immigrants, women seeking abortions) to get things that may save their lives (gender affirming care, visas, abortions)

                Intelligent people: “Both sides equally bad”

                  Ah yes sending weapons for Genocide means intent for peace.

                No we didn’t. We went from lie to truth and lie to truth, depending on if you were speaking or not.

    When you’re done telling yourself how good of a person you are for taking a stand on an issue we created because we didn’t want Jews in our country either after WWII, may I remind you that the last time the US had a Republican president and a terrorist attack, we murdered 4.5 million people.

    That’s still ongoing. ISIS exists because of OUR actions.

    Which still doesn’t hold a candle to the countless people who will be dying in the coming decades in the least developed parts of the world thanks to us completely abandoning our responsibility to mitigate global warming, as a country that produces a quarter of all global pollution/waste, 5x the global average per capita.

    A truly astounding number, taking into account that we are a country that doesn’t even produce much of anything anymore. At least China makes shit.

    We pollute for FUN.

    A situation that could very well have been avoided if another 1000 people bothered to show up to vote for Gore in Florida instead of sticking to their ‘principles’.

    But I’m glad you got to get your figurative rocks off taking a stand. It’s not you and your ilk playing brinkmanship in this election could very well result in the US diving off a cliff into full on climate change denial that will kill billions in the coming decades.

    Who cares, right? The important thing is, you’re fighting for a cause. It matters, by extension, YOU matter.

    Real happy for you.

        Gore’s whole thing since he lost the election was global warming. Carter had solar panels installed in the white house that Reagan took down. Gore spent the last 24 years trying warn people about global warming. You got another hot take there, hoss?

          No it seems like Genociding Palestinians solves all of the issues you listed so let’s continue doing that.

              I don’t feel like retyping my last comment, so just click my name and read my most recent one.

            It seems like condemning Palestinians to an even more awful genocide is solving the plight of Palestinians, so let’s continue advocating for that.

    Ah yes, the real mastermind behind it all, AOC. She’s so good at genocide that she orchestrated one 40 years before she was even born!

    (Massive /s just in case that was lost on someone)
