    Many Americans would rather vote for a leader who supports Israeli genocide of Palestinians a little less than the Republican candidate who supports Israeli genocide of Palestinians a little more. It’s why if I was American, I’d support neither Democrats nor Republicans.

      Ok…? What does any of that have to do with the point at hand?

      It’s also not true, Biden has been a hard core supporter of Israel’s genocide for decades, the idea that he supports it less than the Republicans is just genocide apologia.

                Netanyahu is no better than Hitler,

                Hitler was no worse than Netanyahu.

                Both committed mass murder and genocide and are therefore equally evil.

                Agree?

                  No. You appear to be deliberately missing my point here. I never said anything close to what you seem to be trying to imply: that they are both equally bad because evil is a binary thing with no degrees of difference. I am explicitly saying that there is no difference in the degree of their evil when it comes to Palestine.

                    IIUC, you’re telling me that when it comes to Palestine, Biden is no better than Trump, or conversely, Trump is no worse than Biden.

                    At times I tend to agree with this, but I say it while acknowledging that I don’t know everything about the issue—I am no expert on this. For all I know, Biden might be worse, or Trump might be worse; which is why I wouldn’t be so quick to call someone who thinks one isn’t as bad as the other an apologist for fascism. IMO, if you say that, you better know what you’re talking about. You want to bash Biden or the Democrats from a leftist POV, go right on ahead, but your (apparent at least) pontificating makes you look like an elitist.
