    The salient point is that Trump is endorsing a pogrom.

    Your takeaway from a story about a former President of the United States of America endorsing ethnic cleansing, is that a backhanded shot should be taken at the other party?

      I mean… It kinda sounded like gallows humor

      This is a particularly great comparison.

      Biden isn’t doing enough to stop Palestinians from getting mowed down in food lines. He’s so focused on appealing to the right that he’s making the left lose hope

      Trump is cheering it on, you know how he gets around authoritarians who commit human rights violations

      One of these is clearly much worse than the other. No question. But the end result doesn’t feel different

      Every step forward is too little so late… Even the article this last week “Biden speaks out against Netanyahu” was him very carefully calling for a cease fire.

      It’s so little, so late… We’re all waiting for him to go Darth Brandon and do something big. Something that’ll give the left hope, and involve him making some deserving enemies
