    Not three months ago Gaza had a death toll well past fifty thousand by the most conservative estimates, not to mention the huge amounts of women and children maimed, malnourished and the wholesale destruction of the entire strip’s infrastructure.

    Did the republicans do that or did y’all deny reality so much in the pursuit of tHe mOsT iMpOrTanT ElEctiOn oF oUr LiFeTimE that you don’t know what fucking color the sky is unless you ask the DNC first.

    The republicans are not diametrically opposed to the democrats, they’re just the same shit but more brash, and (with Trump at the helm) too fucking incompetent to not say the quiet part out loud, maybe because they know their base is so rabid on American fascism that dogwhistles aren’t enough anymore, they need a fucking trumpet.

      What I’m saying is that the Republic Party is trying to dismantle democracy. You don’t have to be a fan of the politics of the Democratic Party to want to at least retain the shrivel of a democracy the US had before.

        Democracy already died, and it died under a Democrat. We’ve been a true plutocracy since Citizen’s United v FEC. What actually would happen is the Democrats would defend the plutocracy until the Republicans inevitably win an election because they take advantage of people’s hatred of our situation.

        See? Perfect example.

        Without the republicans, Dems would have no one to hide behind when their many genocides are recounted.

            Are you at all able to communicate with others without resorting to deflection and loaded questions?

              simple enough questions but as you’re so busy campaigning against the dems you must be quite happy with trump?

                I’m about as happy as I would have been with a dem, which is to say I hope they die and take the US with them and leave the rest of us alone finally.

                  you’re brave enough to be happy with the destruction of the US

                  but you won’t commit to a peace plan for palestine?

                    It has jack shit to do with the point, you’re just using bad faith questions to deflect. You’re not original or sneaky.

                    Do you think genocide was acceptable, is my question, because you seem to be awfully concerned about the particulars, like you’re about to say “oh, well, where’s the solutions? Everyone wants to stop a genocide but nobody wants to provide alternatives”.

        Who destroyed the Gaza Strip to begin with?

        There would be no “Trump plan to rebuild Gaza” is Gaza wasn’t destroyed under Biden.

        Why are you so “on board” with the destruction and genocide of Palestinians as long as it’s a Democrat doing it?

        I’d rather there were an actual human in the white house (or there not be an USA at all) but since libs are so spineless I think it’ll take the complete collapse of the US economy to get y’all to stop treating politics like a fucking team sport. You could put Mussolini on the blue team and y’all would yell at everyone for not shutting up and vooooooting.

        We’re almost there, thank fuck.
