      If you can’t be bothered to not aid an active genocide, you are going to do shit to defend democracy. The US is fundamentally broken

        Nothing changed with Trump. In fact it has gotten worse for them… and also the rest of the US who oppose Israel.

        Also… absolutely every other country on earth did 100% nothing to stop Israel. So, point fingers all you want—everyone on earth allowed this.

          No, not even close. That is just dumb, almost as dumb as the temporary pier. Why spend the time defending war crimes?

            What did anyone do? If I’m so dumb, who tried to stop it? Who is defending? I’m accusing everyone. You didn’t do anything. I didn’t do anything. Literally no country came in and said “stop it or else!” Dumb is wanting to blame one person so bad you’re blind to reality.

              Yemenis stopped trade through the red sea costing a lot of money to Israel. I bet you cheered for operation amazon prime.

        Did you know in Sudan (5x the population of Israel/Gaza) there is a literal ethnic genocide going on right now? As in Arabs going village to village and straight up murdering people based entirely on how dark their skin is? And this started before the 2024 election. How many times have you posted about that?

        Funny how all of these disingenuous anti-Biden and anti-DNC posters are so conveniently playing into the Republicans’ hands by making Israel a single issue voting point.

        Recession, tariffs, no due process, people with papers being deported, measles, no environmental or food protections, state sponsored religion, state control of school curriculum and staffing, the elimination of safety nets for poor and sick Americans, the president selling meme coins, the dismantling of independent journalism, increased government handouts to billionaires, etc.

        Where does this rank on the list of multiple issues at once?

        Edit: oh and how could I forget the entire first world economy pulling away from US bonds and allegiance, setting the US up for a massive debt crisis and depression.

          Also bird flu, climate change, housing bubble bursting, high likelihood of food supply storage and that kid back on the fucking escalator.

        Unfortunately we can’t change the past. We need to focus on Trump who is very open about accelerating the genocide plan.

            Is Biden currently in charge? No, it’s Trump and we need to deal with him now instead of putting the focus on what the Democrats did in the previous administration. Unless you’re suggesting we ignore Trump and continue to blame Biden of genocide?
