    C’mon Jack, Biden was still shipping munitions until his last days in office. None of those assholes we’re going to stop this

        Trump is, in more than one way, your punishment for trying to have civil liberties at home while funding genocide abroad. That contradiction was only ever going to result in one thing and that was Trump.

          LOL, you think most Americans, let alone most Democrats, support funding genocide abroad?

          Also, I love how people constantly blame anyone but the far right and their decades-long efforts for the culmination of donvict slithering into office. No one deserves a shitstain like donvict ruining the country and working to make the entire world worse.

            Not enthusiastic support, but “Let’s wait for Later™ before we do anything about this” is also support. The resulting anti-dissent defensive herd mentality is proof of that. You’ll probably defend that as “strategic voting” or “picking your battles” or whatever, but nothing less than a resolute “No” is acceptable as a response to genocide.

            No one deserves a shitstain like donvict ruining the country and working to make the entire world worse.

            Really? Because I can think of a few names. And in the first place things are only getting worse for the first world; the destruction of the American-European imperial alliance will be met with celebration over here, but let’s not lose sight of the point. Keeping your civil rights without opposing genocide was a losing proposition from the very start, and no amount or “hold your nose and vote for her” will change that.

              Again, the only two choices were: donvict or Kamala. That’s it. Nothing else. Best option was to vote Democratic all down the ticket then do everything possible to lean on Democrats to stop supporting Israel.

              Exactly WHO was proposing that?

                No. You could’ve leaned on the Democrats to stop supporting Israel before voting, while they still needed you. Leaning on them after the election would’ve had absolutely no effect and you know it. Relinquishing your right to act during the only time where you have a chance of success is indistinguishable from inaction, hence Americans chose not to oppose genocide.

            The centrist wing has no other policy they’re willing to actually go to bat for.

        We could have also not have a dept of DOGE, but that’s not the argument here. Enough whataboutism and just accept that there was no US candidate that was actual stand up to Israel.

      Yeaaaahh, but would it have been the exact same? Would it have been juuuust as bad as it is now, and will become, soon?

        I suppose we’ll never know…outside of the fact Biden was still providing bombs up until the end of his term. Maybe he would have just stopped, but all of his actions refute the idea.

          Yeah, no, sorry, not sorry, if you can’t see the difference between boden and Trump then you’re an idiot. I’m fresh out of patience for people claiming the cheeto isn’t that bad

              This is akin to saying that there are NO differences between nazi Germany 1941 and today Gaza.

              Disingenuous, dumb, and ignorant.

              Nobody denies that what is happening in Gaza is bad, that it is a genocide, that the entirety Israeli government should be put against a wall (and so should the entire leadership of hamas, standing next to them)

              Calling them the same is just so fucking ignorant and that I don’t even know where to start.

              In the same way, saying that Biden had the same policies as Cheeto is just plain ignorant and I would urge you to start reading a book or something. Start reading Wikipedia, perhaps? Anything, but get actual information

            The cheeto isn’t not that bad. The Democratic establishment is just that bad when it comes to Palestine. The cheeto is still as bad as can be, but in this particular case the Democrats also are.

          If you look at Harris’ history and the constituency of the DNC in general as compared to that of the RNC, no, I think it’s fair to say that her presidency would have been very different when it comes to Israel. Keep in mind, that Trump getting elected basically have Netanyahu a multi-day orgasm. There’s a good reason for this. Likewise, all of Likud and the Kahanists.
