Think Trump would have had a better response?
No. Lose/lose situation no matter who wins.
But! Do you think Democrats would support Israel's genocide if Trump was president? I doubt it.
What the fuck do you think the Dems have been doing since the 80s? Through every Republican presidency?
I think Dems opposed Trump moving the embassy to Jerusalem.
Yes, and so were the GOP before Trump. That's not a "Well, the Dems decided to oppose the move because it was a Republican president!" moment, it's a "The Dems are the conservative party and the GOP is the fascist party" moment.
That's why the best move is for Democrats to control the House and Senate, and that's why I'm voting down ticket for Democrats.
I don't care about why Democrats oppose Trump, I just know that they will. Or do you think that Bernie Sanders would refuse to call for a ceasefire if Trump was President, like what he's doing right now under Biden?
"This is the history of the matter. That's literally not how it works, and you're confusing the opposition of one policy with some idea of complete contrarianism that flies in the face of how the Democratic Party has operated, not only over the past 30 years in general, but also under Trump in particular."
"I don't know WHY they'll do it, but they WILL"
Okay, buddy, have fun with that.
Opposition to one policy is more than opposition to literally nothing.
All I know is the norms went out the window under Trump. I'm willing to bet it'll be even worse in his second term and Democrats will revolt.
"After Hitler, us!"
Except the choice is between Hitler and Pinochet so...
Putting aside that Biden is not even close to Pinochet...
That's not even a fucking choice.
If your thinking is that "30 million dead, millions raped, a continent in ruins, a genocide campaign so horrible that it has become a byword for atrocity, regime only overthrown by a literal world war", is better than or equal to "Thousands dead, tens of thousands tortured, regime eventually overthrown by democratic means", you're beyond fucking help.
My point is if our only two choices are genocide lite and genocide deluxe, the American experiment is a failure and we have to start over. I will not vote for genocide again. I'd rather kill myself, I fucking deserve it for voting for this demon the first time.
(also I just can't spell Mousillini)
