    Waiting for the “but but but Biden bad and doesn’t do anything” comments.

            voting for a government that’s enabling a genocide is voting for that genocide to continue, no matter how you decide to answer on a poll

              We’re in a representative democracy that takes a couple years for all elected positions within a government to change completely assuming every person in said government was voted out. So I ask you, why the fuck would you assume massive change of policy and position within a year? Especially since support for Israel was pretty widespread for the better part of eighty years.

                why would you assume a change of policy at all over any timescale if you keep electing people propping up a genocide?

                  Did ya fucken read my comment, most Americans werent aware of the genocide up until relatively recently. Even then traction against Israel has only built up within less than a fucken year, and I shall restate that the US has been backing Israel for longer than most people have been alive at this point. Why the fuck would you expect substantial change before theres even been an election.

                    why would you expect substantial change at any point if you re-elect a party after they spent a year propping up a genocide?

              You’ve got one side sending food and clean water while the other side advocates Netanyahu “finish the job”, but sure “both sides bad” about it all you want.

                Relatively small amounts of food and water and billions in weapons for the people attacking them…

                you can talk around it with all the mental gymnastics you like, but ultimately voting for biden is a signal to the democratic party that their base doesn’t care about genocide enough to not vote for him, which is all they care about

                  And not voting for Biden resulting in a Trump victory signals an immediate end to Palestinians, among many other horrible atrocities to come as the US declines into a mix of Plutocracy and Evangelical Theocracy.

                    implying palestine will last until january

                    oh ho ho

                    if you’re fine with the trade off, make the trade off and vote biden

                    just don’t pretend the trade off isn’t happening

          I’ll admit that more people opposed the Ukraine Aid (all R tho) than the Israel Aid, but it’s still wrong to say unanimously.

      yes offsetting climate emissions by the smallest possible degree is definitely equivalent to allowing the ongoing genocide attempt in gaza

      legitimately what is your point?

                Buddy he never had a chance with you, that’s why other guy said “nothing will ever be enough for you”

                Guy lost your vote the moment the letter “D” was in front of his name.

                  it’s absolutely wild that you people are still willing to die on the hill of “anybody who doesn’t want to vote for state sponsored genocide is a secret trump supporter”

                    Buddy, we’ve been watching you jackasses willing to die on a molehill for almost a decade now.

                    Also, you literally said you’re a Trumpy, so…

                    No, win with oh I don’t know what this thread and article is about: green energy effectively. But every time it’s always “but but but but but but but Biden bad!1!1!” Fuck me indeed, no conversation is even possible because it’s “but but but but but but but but but”. Ciao for real.

                    They’re indoctrinated beyond belief.

                    You’re either with them, or against them.
