Palestinian Territory – Israel’s army has again massacred Palestinian civilians who had gathered in Gaza to obtain humanitarian aid, targeting them with gunfire from helicopters, tanks, and drones near the Kuwait roundabout on the outskirts of Gaza City. This incident has resulted in over 60 deaths and 160 injuries, some of which are critical.

    Why are you acting like Trump wouldn’t support the genocide? It’s not a choice between genocide and not, so yes you are in fact just trolling for trump.

      It’s not that Trump wouldn’t support the genocide, he certainly would. But as long as Democrats feel they can also support the genocide without repercussions, they will do so to enrich themselves. Republicans aren’t going to change, there’s little point trying to push them on this. But if democrats think that this issue is the difference between winning and losing an election (and thus potentially limiting their ability to enrich themselves), there’s a smidge of a chance they’d at least cut funding or something.

        Cool strategy bro. Let’s play Chicken with our politics. That’s some real 4D chess there.

        I mean, it’s not like our entire political infrastructure and way of lives could be determined by the next election.

          You’re right, I guess we need to do nothing while thousands of children slowly starve to death before our eyes. I suppose it’s just a sacrifice we have to make.

            This is dumb.

            Destroying your own livelihood is not going to stop the Gazan Massacre. It’d be like if you threatened to burn down your local hospital if they don’t start admitting more uninsured people. Your actions will help no one, and make things worse for everyone.

            You want to fix a problem? Then take steps to actually fixing them. Not threatening to destroy everything around you like a fucking child.

            How’s this, why don’t you go burn down your home or your parents home as a form of protest. It’ll really make a message about the destroyed homes in Gaza. Oh, your not going to do it? I guess your just as bad as I am. Hypocrite.

              Me: Don’t vote for someone guilty of genocide

                Yes, ignore any other logic in my post, and just hyperfixate on the end. Lol you’re just a troll at this point. Your logic sucks and it’s clear that all your trying to do is get people to not vote for Biden.

                Go be a troll elsewhere.

                    Because what’s the alternative, dingus? Pray tell, what alternative do you think is going to fix the situation? Oh, voting for Trump or letting Trump win? Pray tell, how do you think that will go? It’s like your whole thought process exists in a pathetic little microcosm and you just can’t seem to see the big picture.

      This isn’t the trolley problem. We have other options. We could force Biden to step aside and have an open convention. If that doesn’t happen, I’ll vote for Cornel West or Jill Stein or Claudia De la Cruz.
