    Then Biden is ignoring that this might cost him the reelection that’s coming up. Left-leaning people even in the US aren’t that keen on genocide, and a lot of them might just elect to stay at home rather than voting for an enabler.

      The saddest thing is that you don’t have much choice do you. It is either Biden or Trump and then you need to decide what’s the lesser evil, isn’t it?

      Tell me again how a dual-political system is again considered a democracy?

        The worst thing about it is that both parties are neoliberal. On the economics side, it’s just an illusion of choice. They only differ on social issues.

        Over 1/3 of voters say it’s genocide. Which party do you think they will skew towards? Given that the last election was pretty close it doesn’t look great.

            Not the most important doesn’t mean “not important” though. The idea that someone will be like “well you know I don’t approve of my tax money being used to commit a genocide but man did he help bring down inflation” is quite funny to me.

            I would guess you are right. What worries me is that you’re wrong and Trump wins again, is even worse for Palestinians and literally everyone else as well. I’m not saying it’s a logical thing to do but people are not always logical. And what does Biden gain again?

            It’s not a problem that we’re trying to get him to fail then. Surely only 2% of people won’t make any difference so why are you trying to stop us?

                I’m not tempting fate, I am deliberately trying to make sure we get what we deserve for supporting a genocide supporting and enabling president.

                Maybe trump 2 will make people realize that supporting genocide won’t help you win an election.

                Maybe you guys will think twice before supporting genocide again.

                You guys love to watch innocent people burn and die?

                Time to bring that shit home to roost!

            Maybe just do the right thing. Clinton lost because of 80,000 votes from 3 states. You don’t think that can happen again because of a genocide ?

                  Point out to me a single line in the judgement where they condemned Israel for genocidal actions, or even directly stated that Israel was pursuing genocidal actions. It’s not there.

                    Point out to me a single line in the judgement where they condemned Germany for genocidal actions, or even directly stated that Germany was pursuing genocidal actions. It’s not there.

                    So the Holocaust never happened because the International Court of Justice never ruled it a genocide?

                I’d rather someone who does nothing for good rather than someone who does a ton for evil.

                Trump is inept. Biden tricked us just like Fetterman
