“He’s doing a good job,” Trump saidabout the Israeli leader. “Biden is trying to hold him back, just so you understand, Biden is more superior to the VP. He’s trying to hold him back, and he probably should be doing the opposite, actually. I’m glad that Netanyahu decided to do what he had to do, but it’s moving along pretty good.”

    I’m voting for Harris. She shouldn’t be supporting genocide and neither should you.

      Absolutely no disagreement there. I don’t condone genocide, and think we should do something about it but I’m not foolish enough to think not voting for the lesser of two evils accomplishes this. We are in agreement.

        Nor am I. Unfortunately, there are plenty of people on lemmy who are so pro-genocide that they cannot abide any criticism of it, no matter how mild. These people immediately assume that anyone who has any misgivings at all about Democrats supporting Netanyahu’s genocide must be a trump supporter.

        I’m looking forward to October 21, when early voting opens in Texas, so I can vote for Harris. That doesn’t mean I must remain silent about genocide.

          No one here is pro-genocide. It’s all in your head as a defense mechanism to use against people that disagree with you.

              Hey bud, genocide denial isn’t genocide support. And while I truly believe genocide is happening, (mods- take note that I said this as I’m certain they’re reporting me for genocide denial)…

              there will always be other people out there who try and define things by their own terms. This doesn’t make them right- but we all know your false equivalence has no filter, or ability to discern the difference between the two.

              If someone says “I don’t have cancer” when they have cancer, that doesn’t make them pro cancer. It’s just makes them in denial.

              In short- saying that it is’t genocide isn’t saying they would support it if it were. And it’s well known that you constantly accuse everyone that calls you out as a genocide supporter. So since we’re handing our advice….

              Maybe don’t do that.

                  So you admit then, that Palestinians committed an act of genocide against Israel on Oct. 7.

                  And don’t deny it’s a genocide, cause you know what that means.

                  And I should specify that no, I don’t seriously take that position. I’m really just here to be an asshole about faulty logic.

                  I’m not going to argue this with you. Just call me a “gEnoCiDe sUpPoRtEr” and begone.

                    Would you prefer a genocide denier, since you’re pretending they’re not the same thing?
