Candidates clash over Ukraine and immigration and grapple with abortion questions as Donald Trump holds rally nearby

“I will be telling Bibi [Israel’s prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu] to finish the job once and for all with these butchers Hamas. They’re terrorists. They’re massacring innocent people. They would wipe every Jew off the globe if they could,” Ron DeSantis, the Florida governor, said. Haley, a former ambassador to the United Nations, was equally forthright. “The first thing I said to him when it happened was, ‘finish them’.

I really don't like Joe but he seems to be the lesser of two evils in the upcoming election.
- It’s upsetting that he’s yet again the obvious choice among a field of only terrible choices. The only other option to even have a chance of avoiding several calamities is revolution, and that’s also a roll of the dice because who knows who what will emerge from that chaos.
- All according to plan.
  
  Dude get your q conspiracy theorist self outta here. The most annoying group on lemmy is the one that's convinced the democratic party and the republican party work together to suppress progressives. The group that holds literally no evidence other than simply vibes.
So... Are you unironically trying to tell me that every Palestinian is a Hamas terrorist? That's a pretty extreme position to take, my guy, and it's also the only way to reconcile what was quoted in the article with your editorialized headline.
- You're train of thought is the reason 420 children are getting blown up indiscriminately everyday. I don't know how your conscious let's you justify murdering hundreds of children everyday just to "fight Hamas" but you are the problem my friend.
  
  Whoosh. They are pointing out an implication you made editorializing and now you're getting indignant over your own implied position.
  
  Edit: Since edited, the original editorialized headline read, "Republicans support genocide of Palestinians," or something similar, when the quotes were regarding Hamas. Op was conflating the two when they changed the headline.

Brace yourselves. Barring tfg being banned from the ballot, it’s looking like he’s going to be tng. Don’t shoot the messenger. 😳
These guys are clowns. Genocide Joe goes full ethnic cleansing is ok and they have to try to one up the crazy. What a horrible system we have.
- I'm just dumbfounded on why half of America is completely fine or encouraging a whole complete genocide of Palestinians
  
  Half? Biden says no restrictions and won’t call for a ceasefire and the Republican want to turn it into a parking lot. I see them all as bloodthirsty.
  
  Both parties are controlled by people who are very happy to have Israel under their thumb and will happily raze Palestine and Palestinians to keep that control.
