Trump isn't the one shipping military aid to Israel. Trump isn't the one vetoing every UN resolution involving Israeli war crimes. Trump might want Israel to bulldoze over Gaza and the West Bank, but he isn't the one facilitating what is happening there right now. Palestinians dont care who is the president of the US, because either way they get slaughtered while those conducting the genocide go unpunished. We need to call put our current leaders to do the right thing, even if their opposition is going to do an even worse thing.
Unless linkerbaan (and apparently you) succeed
Succeed at what? Calling out the Democrats for doing something evil? Blind support for a political party is what made the GOP the comically evil institution it currently is. Criticism of the Democrats is not support for Trump. You will support the Democrats no matter what, and don't care how many Palestinians have to die to reach your goal. Guess what, Trump has literally nothing to do with what is going on in Palestine right now. Harris needs to win Michigan if she wants to beat Trump, and literally all ahe has to do is start holding Israel accountable and the massive Muslim population around Detroit will support her. She wont lose support among any groups, but will have a massive advantage in one of the key voting groups in the election. But the Democrats don't do that,because they support the genocide as well,they just wish ot was done quietly so no one would be able to call them out on it.
"Never Again!" doesn't have a special clause for if a fascist might win an office, or if a Jewish state is doing the genocide. Anyone who claims otherwise is evil and history will judhe them accordingly.
Electing Trump
Where have i ever said i want Trump reelected? I want to hild the Democrats to a high standard above "don't do genocide" is all.
You are mad that I called this fucker out for literally never giving a shit about republican attitude/action no matter how relevant it is.
If we're doing to do the Q&A thing, you can start by answering: Why it is acceptable that they never hold any republican accountable? Why do they ignore the very real notion that Trump has promised to be WAY worse, and recently renewed such promises? You and they cannot answer this because your entire goal here requires you to ignore it.
Inb4 "the democrats are in power"
It is bullshit and you know it. The democrats do not control the House, just as one piece of why it is.
