? Donald trump is a moron. Can we talk about Biden's aid to the genocide now?
No. It's not an election issue. It's a Congress and Senate issue. Or it's an issue you deal with aside from the election. Not a single candidate supports Palestine, so it's a moot point, and again, not an election issue. Making it an election issue will only lead to a Trump government, and I assure you Trump will make sure Palestine is wiped off the map. So if you actually want to help Palestine like you claim, helping Trump beat Biden is the stupidest thing you can do
Yes.
Lol it's definitely an election issue. It's gonna cost Biden the election.
No, what's going to cost Biden the election is that his country is (half) full of fuckwits.
I would say more than half, but that still wouldn't get me to vote for a guy enthusiastically aiding a genocide.
In fairness the only reason the other guy isn't currently "enthusiastically aiding a genocide" is because he lost an election and seems to spend every spare moment dipping between court and the golf course.
He's not been silent on the issue though.

Yeah it would suck to be an American right now, but it'd be even worse to be Palestinian.
So you have no ability to vote in this upcoming presidential election?
No, why would I?
Is that the rules here? Only pro Biden propaganda allowed?
Anybody from anywhere not America doesn't get to criticize dear leader, despite America's elections having global consequences? Which candidate do you vote for if you're against genocide? Did you get to vote in a primary to elect Biden as the Dem nominee? Do you have democracy where you live?
You fuck off if my free speech is making you uncomfortable.
But Trump wants the complete annihilation of Palestine. So neither side is with Palestine. If you're pro Palestine and help cost Biden the election, you're a damn moron
Do you think the Palestinians care which signature is on the order for more weapons to mutilate them?
Do you think Palestinians want a U.S. president who will at least acknowledge their right to exist or a president who will move their embassy to Jerusalem and tell Bibi to glass the land?
I don't think they give a fuck about who the president is if they're both supplying the weapons to genocide them. Let's ask some Palestinians, maybe.
Oh look someone already did
So your solution is to not vote for the Democratic incumbent?
Who said I have solutions? I'm some guy on the internet.
I don't live in your country, I don't get a vote. But guess what, no matter what happens, it still affects me because your stupid fucking world police military bullshit.
Many of us here aren't pleased with our stupid world police bullshit either. I thought you were trying to have a conversation but I see you were just complaining and washing your hands of it.
Maybe the next election cycle you guys will get a candidate who doesn't support a literal genocide. Good luck.
Genocide isn't on the ballot and isn't being voted on so tbh it's not that relevant to our election cycle.
