"This is the behavior of a crazy person.

Trump is a massive failure as president. He has allowed a genocidal monster to take over the foreign policy of the United States.

Trump has permitted Netanyahu to drag America to the threshold of war with Iran."

    Same thing we did when netanyahu was the de facto president last year: Speak truth, get ignored at best and met with hostility most of the time.

            It’s not hostility for being against genocide.

            Bullshit.

            It’s hostility for ignoring the genocide you have triggered back in the US. For people who were supposedly against genocide, you sure did help trump get elected, which made the thing you supposedly “care” about, about 100 times worse.

            You just want someone to blame now that your second favorite candidate is carrying out your only policy for you. If people who don’t adore everything netanyahu does weren’t worth listening to, you don’t get to blame us when what we tried to warn you would happen happens.

            Hope your moral righteousness can stop ICE.

            Your moral cowardice made this happen.

              You know what made this happen is a bunch of so-called leftists who make voting for the President (or even worse, withholding their vote) their only political act.

              We could change the world if we’d unite and get involved in primaries and get out and inspire and educate. But instead we sit at our computers and shitpost and laud our own supposed moral superiority and deride other leftists who are only slightly different than us while everything in the real world just gets incrementally worse and worse.

                WHAT FUCKING PRIMARIES? We didn’t have any last year because your shitty wing of the party decided we shouldn’t have a choice. After all, we might choose someone who wasn’t hell bent on wiping out Gaza like party leadershit wanted.

                  I’m specifically talking about EACH AND EVERY FUCKING PRIMARY. No one except a small bunch of boomers ever bothers to take part in these. You’re proving my point by instantly assuming that presidential primaries are the only primaries. This is a crisis that has only been enabled over decades by the apathy and lack of participation of leftists.

              My “moral cowardice” led me to vote for kamala because my trans sister is now fearing for her life.

                I voted for Harris too. but since I had the fucking temerity to criticize genocide, you’ve decided that I’m to blame for her losing.

                Hiding behind the vulnerable minorities your party throws under the bus every chance it gets in order to justify genocide is low and shameful.

                  OMG you got me so hard!!! Great way to cope with the outcome of your actions.

                  trying to stick the “genocide” label on anything that’s not your fringe morally-pure choice (if you can even name a choice instead of being anti-everything) will surely result in more effective results!

      Witty signs no less. To show that despite the apparent severity of the state of the world, they do have a sense of humour.

      They might as well ban all guns now. I was willing to go along with this weekly(?) school shooting schedule as long as that meant they would actually use the guns when the time came. But now that the time has come, all those kids seem to have died for nothing.

    The answer to the problem is certainly not the Democrats, who wholesale supported this genocide for over a year.

    Both genocidal parties, and the genocidal capitalist system, must be torn down.

    Biden publicly described himself as a Zionist and supported genocide while wagging his finger. Trump and his cabinet are even worse – as expected. I mean a suggestion to evict (kill?) the residents and turn it into a resort is beyond reason.

    I hope we don’t get into war with Iran. Between the Republicans and Democrats that are legally bribed by aipac I think we’re screwed either way.

    Hopefully that 400 million dollar jet Qatar bribed Trump with gives him pause about going to war. His money making schemes are starting to conflict and he is very impulsive, so it’s hard to tell what’s next.

        Biden continued shipping weapons to a country that was (and still is) actively engaged in genocide. If that doesn’t meet your definition of “supporting genocide”, then what does?

        Edit: replaced the vague “he” with the more specific “Biden” at the beginning of the post.

            Your comment only makes sense if you’re assuming I voted for a third party presidential candidate, skipped the election, or [gag] voted for Trump.

            Be very careful when making assumptions. They can reveal your ignorance.

        He was the biggest enabler of it, that’s support. The man literally bypassed congress to directly ship weapons to Israel and continued to support them until the bitter end.

        Maybe if instead of taking bribes from AIPAC he should have dropped out earlier and let someone else run.

        He sold weapons that everyone, even a pudding-brained mummy like biden, knew were being used to commit genocide. In contravention of the Leahy law.

        That’s support for genocide.

      I have a fantasy of a really long stockade with a lot of people just lined up in a row next to each other, and someone using a Force-wielded lightsaber just sliding down the rope of them.

      And every time I try to figure out who would be in it, it gets longer. But it would for sure include every conservative in the White House, in the Senate, in the House, and I’m the Supreme Court. Just the entire lot of them, none are redeemable as leaders, as politicians, as elected, or even as low as adult humans.

          If the worst thing they can put on my story is “he wished he was a force user that just chopped off Nazi heads”, then I’m ok with that.

          I don’t need a court to rule that he’s a Nazi. And killing a Nazi is always ok in any circumstance. I’d argue in any manner as well, but I can hear out valid arguments otherwise. But I feel a simple beheading wouldn’t go a foul of most people’s sensibilities.

    The same thing we did when Israel was commiting genocide, talk about it. It’s what got TikTok censored by Congress. It’s what costs politicians jobs by being against genocide.

    But I guess it’s bad now since Trump is the one doing it. Murder is bad when red team does it, it’s just the way the world works when blue team does it.
