    He might do that. But we all know that trump saying something has a very low correlation with him actually doing it. He ended the war in Afghanistan, a war which Biden spent 8 years overseeing and not ending. And I don’t think trump can personally gain from the genocide continuing, so I don’t see a reason he wouldn’t end this too. Trump has a history of peace, his rhetoric isn’t as bad as Bidens, what he actually says he will do isn’t as bad as what Biden says he will do, AND… he isn’t currently the guy doing it. I pretty much only care about this issue at this point, and I just don’t see trump actually being worse than Biden on it. Biden’s handlers care about maintaining the military industrial complex. Trump’s handlers care about scamming the government $1 million at a time. If the end result is Trump steals a billion dollars and attempts a coup again, that is a fantastic outcome for us.

      He might do that.

      He might. He also has a history of enacting racist and anti-muslim policies to throw meat to his moronic base of chuds. He also has a history of backing Israel, such as backing them creating illegal settlements in the west bank. So I believe trump, and his republican ilk will jump at the chance to use our military and financial institutions to harm Palestinians, as the historically have for the last 60+ years.

      But we all know that trump saying something has a very low correlation with him actually doing it.

      All the more reason not to trust him as the president.

      He ended the war in Afghanistan, a war which Biden spent 8 years overseeing and not ending.

      No, he didn’t. He made the same commitment to end the war, after his presidency, that every president since Bush has made. Only Biden was willing to take the actual blame for pulling out of that quagmire.

      Trump has a history of peace

      No he doesn’t. He ordered a drone strike on an Iranian general in another sovereign country on a diplomatic mission. Mainly because he wanted to brag about killing “terrorists”, since the Obama admin got to take down Bin-Laden.

      I pretty much only care about this issue at this point…

      And yet you have selected the almost universally recognized, absofuckinglute worst possible person to end this peacefully.

      Please stop. Just stop. Trump has never made anything better, ever. Period. Full stop. Don’t vote for him.

        Afaik, Biden could not possibly have gotten out of Afghanistan in 2-3 months without actual moves that were made by the trump admin.

        Idk how the drone strike issue lines up, but I mean, at least the ones trump did hit military personnel. Obama went after all of: an American citizen, a wedding, and a hospital. Trump could certainly be worse than Obama on that though.

        It’s not like I want to vote for trump. I’m just obviously going to pick the doofus con artist over the guy currently committing a genocide. I would vote for trump over Hitler, Stalin, and Pol Pot too, to be clear. Yeah, trump might just keep doing it. But he also might not. And we know Joe ain’t gonna do shit to end it.
