      I’m not downplaying what is happening to the Palestinians but if Kamala loses and Trump wins, there will be bigger issues to worry about.

          When did I say I support genocide? I don’t. I’ve been to war and know how fucked up it is. Making baseless accusations against people you don’t even know is not a good way to win people over to your side.

            Your constant lesser evilism for a genocider and selective use of passive voice when it comes to the genocide in Gaza.

            What side am I trying to win you over to? The anti-genocide one? Do you want me to imply that what you’re doing is not a serious moral and political failing?

      If Kamala loses the middle east will be a giant flaming crater. That’s probably not something to be happy about.

        We are already sending everything that the genocidal dictator Netanyahu asks for. How do you think Trump will make it worse?

          There’s a good chance that Trump will put American boots on the ground in Israel’s war, to say the least. He has openly said that Israel needs to “finish the job.” Trump will also lick Putin’s asshole and let him march across Europe and then the world. Trump has jeopardized America’s standing and national security multiple times already. It can get so, so much worse if he is re-elected.

            Yeah but all of that’s already being done by the Biden admin (with the exception of licking Putin’s asshole). What would Trump do that’s new?

            We have at least 100k troops deployed to the region, each one of these deployments is one step closer to boots on the ground.

            Trump may have said “finish the job”, but Biden has said so much worse, like his “40 beheaded babies” lie that he repeated multiple times.

            By defending and arming genocidal Israel, Biden has jeopardized America’s standing and national security multiple times.

            Yeah domestically Trump will be devastating. Hes an unpredictable narcissist, so who knows which of his horrible policies he will try to implement.

            I asked because I have seen many liberal commenters asserting that Trump would be worse for Palestine. But I’ve never seen this argument fleshed out- how would he be worse, what could he do thats worse, etc?

      Lots of pro-genocide liberals are upset that you reminded them they want to vote for a genocider.

      How dare you.

          Some are pro genocide. The politicians who said in interviews that they support dropping WMDs onto Gaza certainly are. The rest are smart enough not to say it out loud and instead are genocide deniers. How is that any better?

          I dunno when I tell them to be against genocide and do anything about it they just fall to pieces about how supporting the people doing genocide is their best smartest action.

          Sounds like something genocide supporters do when they need to feel reluctant about it.
