Joe Biden is a far fucking cry from 99% Hitler. Come back to reality, we need you here.
Do we really need them here though? Do we even want them here?
Yeah... actually. I know, craziness. But its true. Everyone drinks from the wrong cup of kool aid at the party eventually. We need to have empathy and sympathy for those led astray.
That was answering the first question, anyway. For the second, id say a resound, "fuck no!" but that unfortunately doesnt negate the answer to the first question :(
The Palestinians would liken him at least to the Emperor of Japan in WWII. Not quite Hitler levels but still supporting the guy
hitler could never imagine having the power of the presidency under pax americana, but he would have loved to translate the "racial jungle" speech. the supreme irony of biden's dog literally attacking federal law enforcement while people are in prison for the same thing is palpable. kids in cages, building a border wall, and supplying arms to the middle east to prop up an ethnostate. look... how much hitler are you willing to tolerate?
Gaza only has 2 million people so Biden is just 33% Hitler.
Joe Biden, who is the President of a country that has been trying to negotiate a cease fire, and is sending aid to Gaza is responsible for the actions of a completely separate and sovereign nation?

I didn't realize this until a sticker on a gas pump educated me. Stay woke friends
"Hey calm down do a ceasefire"
"No. May I please have more ordnance so I can keep doing my genocide?"
"Fine"
The one secretly sending israel weapons to commit Genocide with, and the only reason israel is able to continue their Genocide?
The Joe Biden blocking ceasefire resolutions at the UN?
Genocide Joe?
Yeah that one.
To your point, 33% Hitler is still better than 99% Hitler. Trump will bring this world into World War 3 by destabilizing Europe.
I forgot, which two countries just vetoed a US resolution for a ceasefire in Gaza linked to a hostage deal?
Maybe it was a bullshit resolution. Time will tell as analysts review its text.
I forget, which country gives Israel the tools it needs to kill hundreds of thousands of children and maintain an apartheid state?

Israel wouldn't be able to exist without the sponsorship of the US, that's where it gets most of its shit from. Also wow, almost all those countries are subordinates to the US. How coincidental.
So you're saying Israel shouldn't be allowed to exist?
Yes, Israel shouldn't be allowed to exist. Israel is an affront to and attack on all Jews, perpetrated by Christian zionists, including Nazi Germany.
There should be a secular democracy without a tiered citizenship system that respects the rights of local jews, Muslims, and Christians, as much as it respects the rights of European immigrants.
Welp, thanks for making your position clear.
If Israel wants to be a functioning player on the international level they need to play by international rules.
What they are doing to Gaza is no better than what Russia is doing to Ukraine.
One of those countries would definitely be the US.
None because what you are talking about doesn't exist. There was no ceasefire resolution only an American endorsement for israel to use starvation as a weapon of war.

Can you direct link a screenshot as I have Twitter blocked.
Twitter and screenshots of Twitter are not credible sources from which to form your opinions.
It would give me a starting point to look into what they are arguing since there are no other details in their comment.
True
Here is the text of the tweet and the text of the tweet quoted in it:
It quotes the following by Al Jazeera English:
The quoted aje tweet is in reference to this video and the video is embedded in the tweet.
E: what do you do when you don’t have someone around to copy and paste shit from twitter? It seems absurd to block twitter but not have any way of accessing information that’s distributed on that website…
Here is an alternative Piped link(s):

Thank you.
I usually hope the original poster will post it and not give them any more views ad if they don't I just move on.
Well shit, I’m here, might as well ask the obvious question:
Why? To what end?
Interested in what the commenter had to say but not interested enough to give Twitter a view?
I have Reddit and Meta blocked too.
I guess I was asking to what end you are trying to avoid viewing twitter to the extent that you don’t use a stand in.
He's a far cry from it for certain, but he shares a considerable amount of responsibility for what is occurring in Gaza that a lot of people feel uncomfortable with that.
I'm sure some people have already forgotten because China and Russia recently vetoed the last conflict resolution proposed in the U.N. but don't let that stop you from remembering that our U.N. ambassador, appointed by the President who can revoke that appointment, issued multiple vetoes against multiple Gaza conflict resolution proposals previously.
Every president since Eisenhower shares responsibility for what is happening in Gaza, but that doesn’t mean we vote for the end of democracy in the US.
Biden calls for ceasefire while still supplying Israel = bad
Trump says Israel would finish the job under his administration = magnitudes worse, the fucker is a few syllables away from literally saying final solution
It's not an accident that people suddenly care so much about US foreign policy when it's convenient to bash Biden before an election. It's a very concerted propaganda effort on social media that you're either intentionally or unintentionally a part of.
Before the last election Trump tried to extort Ukraine by withholding military aid unless Ukraine helped investigate his political opponent, Biden.
I don't agree with what's happening in Israel/Palestine either, but I'm more concerned at how often it's being used as this "trump card" to lower Biden to Trump's level. It's still not remotely close.
I really dislike how this always comes down to whataboutism.
I already consider Biden to be the lesser of the two evils here. That doesn't mean I have to look away from his actions though, nor does it mean I have to support them.
The Gaza example was already whataboutism. I only bring up the Trump example to emphasize that we already have historical evidence that he won't handle Ukraine or Gaza any better than Biden has. He only uses those situations to benefit himself.
I agree that being the lesser of two evils doesn't absolve Biden's part in it, but I hope you reconsider supporting him. As frustrating as it is that neither is perfect, it doesn't help anyone to allow an even worse candidate to win in protest.
How was it whataboutism? I didn't see anyone comparing him to Trump when I was replying. Hitler is absolutely not the any kind of standard that we should be comparing most politicians to hopefully. I'm also painfully aware that Trump is far worse in regards to foreign policy. I can imagine him offering further support to Israel even.
Look. I've already resolved to vote for Biden. There really isn't much choice, but that doesn't mean I have to ignore what he's responsible for. Nor should history forget it either. If that somehow hinders his campaign, then so be it. Anyone who votes for Biden without these considerations is an accessory to the genocide though.
You can have genocide in Gaza, or you can have genocide in Gaza and ("stepping-stone") Ukraine. Its an unfortunate choice, but an important one nonetheless. If im harping on a moot point to you bc you already know this, rest assured i say this for all other readers as well. Your votes down ballot are also extremely valuable. This primary there was a referendum in my county that I was in favor of that passed by less than 100 votes.
(Holds up mirror)
There probably isn't a single politician that I fully agree with.
There are different levels of disagreement and what I'm pointing out is people trying to use Gaza as a way to fully discredit Biden as a candidate because they have no other scandals to use against him.
You're more concerned with how this will affect Biden than the actual genocide itself? That's what I'm pointing out you saying in your comment.
No, I'm more concerned with how the entire world will be impacted by electing Trump again. What's happening in Gaza will continue to happen whether we elect Biden or Trump.
Trump on Gaza:
Suggesting that the Gaza situation is a dealbreaker for Biden is trying to hold him to a higher standard than anyone holds Trump, and that higher standard by itself tells you who the better candidate is.
You're right, that is terrible, Biden isn't so uncouth while fully materially supporting the genocide.
