    Yes…

    It’s bad when trump supports a genocidal regime…

    It’s bad when Biden supports a genocidal regime…

    Now, here’s the big one. Get up and stretch, take a nice long deep breathe.

    Ready?

    It’s bad when literally fucking anyone supports a genocidal regime.

    Here’s another big one:

    If you excuse Dems for doing something because trump does it too, then if you don’t slow down and look around, you’re going to be supporting someone just like trump, because republicans found some asshole even worse.

    Republicans won’t magically get better

      I don’t excuse the dems, but you refuse to accept that Trump is 10 000x worse

      Netanyahu would not be angry at Biden for his demands if Biden was fine with everything they do.

      Netanyahu would not prefer to have Trump back if the two were equal.

        No I don’t, because he obviously is.

        It’s just neither of them are good enough to be president.

        Like,you know there’s not really a valid reason to run unpopular neoliberals just because trump is in office right?

        We could just runnwhat Dems historically do very very well with:

        A young charismatic person running a progressive campaign.

        There is literally no reason to be running someone the majority of registered Dem voters don’t want to be president, just because they don’t want the Republican.

        How does that system make any logical sense?

        How will shit ever improve?

          Ok, then tell me who that candidate is who can win instead of Biden.

          I’m waiting.

          I am not super fond of Biden, and wouldn’t mind seeing him replaced. But my top priority is harm reduction, and switching to a candidate who can’t beat Trump would send USA into turmoil

            If your top priority was harem reduction you wouldnt be supporting the one causing the most harm right now. And not just Palestinians, us included

              Are you saying Biden personally is causing the most harm, and that Trump wouldn’t cause more? Or do you think it’s irrelevant that acting as you suggest would make things worse?

              I don’t disagree he’s handled it bad, but your options are between pressuring him to do better or Trump wrecking everything he gets his hands on

                If you haven’t realized it, there is no ‘pressuring Biden’ I’m not saying that Trump would cause more harm or Biden is causing more harm. Harm is harm. People are dying. People are being starved. It doesn’t matter who is doing it, right now the greater evil is Biden. He is the one actively engaging in killing and starvation of people. If people would move beyond the bullshit concept of lesser evil and simply accept no evil, then we might be able to progress as a country.

                If you haven’t noticed both of them work in tandem to benefit the wealthy against the needs of the working class
