      Nobody actually gives a shit about Israel and Palestine. People bringing this up are feigning concern.

      What the fuck are you going on about? Just because you’re a psychopath who doesn’t give a shit about other people doesn’t mean we all are.

        I cannot claim to know OP’s mind, but IMHO, I think those that are performatively wringing their hands and clutching their pearls over the situation in Israel right now are either a bit deluded or just out to delude others, IF they are acting like having donnie instead of Biden would make that situation in any way better. And if they are telling people to vote third party or stay home to lodge a stupid protest against The Man, they are only helping donnie. Which again, will result in things going from very, very bad to far far worse.

          Nobody is making that argument. You were the person the op was taking about. Nobody’s going to vote trump over Palestine.

            Sorry, I guess I was talking about kitnaht not the OP. And people actually are making this kind of argument, including around here. These are the same types that argue donnie is for keeping us out of “WWIII” (while Hillary obviously wanted one, lol) and ignore all his statements about wanting to level Gaza, etc.

            Now, how many are trolls/bots, it’s hard to say…

      Historical context really doesn’t mean anything here. Trump isn’t the average republican guy. He has taken over the whole party with his ideology alone. Tons of people care about genocide. Not to mention people directly affected by it. Biden’s whole pitch was he can get stuff done and be a one-term President. None of that has happened. This moment requires boldness and conviction. Biden is not the man for that at all.

      Betting all your chips on a man who is hanging by a thread is a risky gamble to protect whatever is left of this country.

      Nobody has ever done anything until they did. You’re not really saying much there.

      While we’re at it though, no previous president has ever won reelection with an approval rating below 48% either. Biden’s hasn’t polled that high in over a year and a half.

      . No previous-loser has ever won against the person who beat them in the history of presidential elections.

      Biden’s current approval rating is 34%…

      What’s the last president with numbers that low he got a second term?

      Like, I don’t think people understand how historically unpopular Biden is. 34% is fucking insane for being the president that followed trump, you can’t get a better set up than being compared to that shitheel.
