yes republicans banning books compares to having your home bombed into rubble while a nation state attempts to exterminate your people
What about Republicans denting women healthcare, trying to overturn an election, pandering to an authoritarian who is currently facing a whole stack of felonies he most likely committed based on his bragging about them, and dtoking public anger by encouraginng violence?
Maybe we just want to avoid having the nation state start exterminating anyone who doesn't agree with a fascist MAGA government.
the hypothetical worst case you propose if trump gets elected is literally not as bad as where palestine already is
It also hasn't happened so it can be avoided.
don't worry this also won't be the last genocide attempt in either of our lifetimes
It isn't the only genocide going on right now.
you're arguing support of biden because "he isn't failing to stop a genocide, he's failing to stop multiple genocides"
"Needs to stop supporting genocide" is not the same thing as "stopping genocude".
Maybe you should learn to read before putting words in other people's mouths.
okay then why don't you tell me why "there are multiple genocides happening while biden is president" is a relevant point to bring up in context that helps your case
I was responding in agreement to this.
won’t be the last genocide attempt in either of our lifetimes
Are you angry that I agreed with you?
the point being that continuing to vote for parties that refuse to stop supporting genocides will result in those genocides continuing unopposed
I’m with you in that trump is bad, and I will do what is needed when it comes time to vote to make sure he is not president again. BUT all that you listed is still not worse than the genocide of over 35,000 people. All Biden needs to do is stop spending our tax dollars in support of this ethnic cleansing
You're under the impression that our healthcare system alone doesn't kill 35,000 a year? I'm sure it's a lot higher than that
What?! I know the US healthcare system is totally fucked and no potential president running this year is going to fix it, but when did the healthcare system start using 2,000 pound bombs and begin ethnically cleansing?
Does it matter if it's bombs or denying claims to dying cancer patients (among 100 other injustices)? I'd argue the bombs are more honest at least.
The difference is that the complicated mess of a healthcare system can't be fixed unilaterally by bypassing congress like supplying arms to Israel.
I think that drawing back support for Israel is far more complicated than you folks realize.
But maybe you all have political science degrees and just don't feel like explaining your reasoning? I just know enough to know that is a sticky situation and isn't just as easy as canceling a Netflix subscription or something like many seem to think it is
If Ronald fucking Reagan was able to figure out how to withhold aid to Israel to get them to withdraw from Beirut and Lebanon, I'm sure Biden can. Reagan also allowed 21 UN resolutions against Israel. How utterly embarrassing it must be to be worse than Reagan on anything. I guess all they have to do is say "it's a complicated issue" ad nauseam until you actually believe nothing can be done about actively arming a genocide.
There's a difference in saying "it probably is more complicated than you realize" and "just shut up and accept genocide" but thanks for turning the conversation into this
Yes, there is a difference. Even in this completely insane “death panels” hypothetical situation, I still would not stand with genocide.
I still would not stand with genocide.
So brave, unlike the rest of us. Because yes my point was I'd love to choose genocide. Not that they both are horrific violations of human rights or anything like that.
It says a lot about your character and what you actually value that you think the way Trump would allow Israel to treat Palestinians is preferable to what Biden is doing.
I absolutely don’t think Trump is preferable. I would like Biden to stop using my tax dollars to fund this genocide. That has nothing to do with trump
Yes elections are just thought experiments
