    Yea, republicans may be worse on these but

    That “but” is irrelevant if you understand at all how the American electoral system works. You choose the lesser or the greater of two evils. Always. You want to change the party itself, vote in the primaries.

      yes, yes, sell your soul to Genocide and maybe you can buy it back if you vote hard enough! Or at least they’ll only increase the state sponsored genocide by a little bit more each year! That is… uhhh. good? Yes thats what I want to call that. Good!

      Wild you can say a but about still murdering tons of small children is irrelevant.

          If all the children are dead either way then you haven’t actually murdered less children.

            Ok, but only one side is calling for murdering literally all of the children, and that’s the Republicans. Democrats are at least attempting to work towards peace and provide humanitarian aid.

            It’s fine if you say that’s not enough. I agree. But it’s not “kill em all”.

              Democrats are at least attempting to work towards peace and provide humanitarian aid.

              That’s what they say and what they’d like us to think but that’s not what Biden’s policy reflects, nor Kamala’s language and conduct in her campaign.

              A Palestinian-American voice, a rather reasonable and balanced one, wasn’t even allowed to speak at the DNC. Plenty of time for the families of hostages and a pandering cop from Genesee County, Michigan, though.

              We are long past “self defense” and deep into genocide territory, yet Kamala keeps droning on about Israel’s “right to defend themselves” even as Israel sabotages peace talks and opens a new front in Lebanon. When does self defense end and genocide begin if not at any point before now? Why is it unprovoked terrorism when the brown people do it but defensive war when the west does it? When are they going to stop “urging” and start threatening aid?

              This is a clear bias and they’ve given us absolutely no sign that their pit of generosity towards Israel has any bottom to it, yet because the republicans are more open about their hatred you’ve given a pass to policy that will end in the exact same outcome. Total destruction of Palestine and a continuing violent apartheid with zero consequences for Israel.

                policy that will end in the exact same outcome.

                This is the cornerstone of all you “genocide joe” fucksticks and it makes no sense. Only one party is calling for a total extermination of Palestinians - the Republican Party.

                  Read my full reply and I promise it will make sense.

                  Policy/actions and talking points are two different things. The democrat’s walk does not match their talk. You’re falling for talking points and feel-good finger wagging while the policy and action is effectively the same.

                  Netanyahu is already running the show, we’re already helping him carry this out. It doesn’t make a difference if the guy signing the checks has an ® or (D) next to their name and feigns pride or concern in doing so, if either way there are zero consequences for escalating the situation to a full multi-front war.

                    Conspiracy theory crap. “Sure, the Dems say they want peace and sure they’ve actively worked towards negotiating a peace and sure they’ve sent humanitarian aid but I know what they really want, and it conveniently happens to be whatever will make me not vote for them.”

                    Besides, “evil Jews are secretly controlling the US” has been done to death already.
