“This is not war, it is destruction that words are unable to express,” said the father of two children killed in the Israeli strike.

    How come we aren’t allowed to discuss how bad Biden is being over this without people just saying ‘Trump is worse.’ You can discuss one without bringing up the other. A condemnation of Biden is not supporting Trump. Nobody here was saying lets not vote for Biden. I am voting for him because obviously Trump is worse. But that is literally the only defense of Biden when it comes to all this. “Trump would supply even more bombs to blow up children with.”

    That’s literally whats just happened. Those are most likely bombs paid for with my tax dollars and so many of Biden’s cultists refuse to allow you to criticize him.

      The problem is it’s been co-opted by Trumpers, Russian bots/influence and right wing nuts.

      So unless a comment carries an explicit statement of something along the lines of “Still going to vote for him”, I will treat such comments as simply another attempt to dissuade Biden voters to get Trump in office

          As far as i can tell, Biden is historically pro isreal. Openly refers to himself as a zionist. His religion demands that isreal gains power in order to attempt to make the bible only embarrassingly incorrect. His parents instilled in him that due to WWII the Jews are justified in taking the land and this includes their current encroachment. He has been the main and highest paid donar recipient of pro isreal groups for his 5 decades in politics . Changing course now would force a critical evaluation of his 5 decades of blindly giving unwavering support to Israel and recognition that Palestinians are people. Also the US has made enemies of everyone in the region, and Israel gives us a “foot hold” there.

          All this makes the finding of a genocide a mere consideration for his polling numbers.

        It boggles my mind that you can type out “I’ve already decided everyone who disagrees with me is faking it” and still think of yourselves as reasonable.
