Much of the attention on Thursdayās presidential debate fell upon President Joe Bidenās faltering performance, which has called into question whether he can even remain the Democratic candidate. In the aftermath, some have focused on former President Donald Trumpās nonstop lies.
Left largely overlooked, however, has been the open xenophobia Trump deployed against Palestinians and immigrants, and the silence with which it was met.
The most striking illustration might be Trumpās response to a prompt from CNN moderator Dana Bash, regarding Israelās war on Gaza and the āhumanitarian crisisā that Israel has created while killing thousands of Palestinians.
As Biden insisted that Hamas was the only entity standing in the way of a ceasefire, Trump actually pushed back on the idea. āYou got to ask him,ā Trump began, referring to Biden, āas far as Israel and Hamas, Israel is the one that wants to go. He said the only one who wants to keep going is Hamas.ā He continued: āActually, Israel is the one, and you should let them go and let them finish the job. He doesnāt want to do it. He has become like a Palestinian. But, they donāt like him because he is a very bad Palestinian. He is a weak one.ā
So if there is going to be a drought anyway and people are dying in a city no matter what you do and one politician says that showers and even using the Bathtub are okay but we should stop using water for the pools and gardens and another is just giving everyone the go to use whatever they want then āboth are badā because the first option is not perfect is just childish
By not choosing and enabling the 2nd option you are making matters 100 times worseā¦
Everyone should just vote for the water shaman, I donāt understand why American politics needs to be so complex!
If everyone in Gaza is dead or displaced, it literally does not fucking matter. That is the path Israel is on, which Biden is assisting with.
You are delusional if you think you can win an election on āthe other guy will be more vocal in his support for genocideā.
Instead of coming at me for pointing this out, you should be coming at any dem who isnāt calling for a massive u-turn in policy before itās too late.
This is the same head-in-the-sand thinking let everyone around Biden tell themselves that he was fit for this debate.
