    I’m opposed to genocide. I simply try not to act like a child when discussing these things. I don’t deny that Biden has done some stupid shit regarding this. And that he’s not helped the situation. But no one could genuinely say he supports genocide at the same time he’s actually trying to stop the genocide. Even with the patently stupid moves he’s made.

    Thank you for proving my point that you have no genuine point. And are only here to cause drama.

      I’m opposed to genocide.

      I’m not buying it, since you are more upset at people who don’t like genocide than you are at Biden for supporting it.

      I don’t deny that Biden has done some stupid shit regarding this.

      Stupid shit like circumventing congress to sell weapons to Netanyahu that he knew would be used for genocide? Stupid shit like going to bat for Netanyahu at the UN? That “stupid shit” looks exactly like what it is: support for genocide.

      But no one could genuinely say he supports genocide at the same time he’s actually trying to stop the genocide.

      And if he were actually trying to stop the genocide, that would mean something. He’s not. There are no conditions on aid to Netanyahu, and we’re still running interference for his genocidal regime at the UN.

        Personally, I don’t care if you buy it. You’re not a serious or sincere person. Or anyone whose opinion anyone should care about.

        Neither am I more upset at disingenuous people like yourself than I am what Biden did. I appreciate that you have to keep railing against straw men. I didn’t think you would stop at just Biden. It is somewhat lamentable though that we cannot have actual adult conversations about these sort of things because of behavior like yours. Quite honestly, I would like to see an end to the conflict and a depredication of Israel as a military base/foothold for the United States. The actual thing Biden supports by the way. It is not worth the loss of life and bad reputation it rightfully gives us in the region.

        But hey you are free to continue to alienate people who more or less agree with you if you want. Just saying. I agree with you on probably a ton of things. But virtue signaling is more important to you than actual problem solving. I get that. Sometimes I’m even guilty of it.

          You won’t even admit it’s a genocide, and you accuse me of being disingenuous.

          But virtue signaling is more important to you than actual problem solving.

          It’s astounding how quickly Democrats start pulling shit from the Republican phrasebook.

          Biden should not be supporting genocide. He needs to stop.

            Because there is a conflict, doesn’t mean there isn’t a genocide. If you were genuinely wanting to discuss or have a reasonable discussion about this, you could have looked around anywhere and see that I regularly ever referred to it as a genocide.

            And nice straw man. Calling me a Democrat LOL. I regret that Democrats are often the best I get to vote for. But I’m far from a Democrat. Much closer to a social libertarian /anarco communist.
