What planet are you living on that you think Biden and Trump are equally bad? What are you basing that on? I want actual policies.
And explain how Trump would lessen (or not increase) the genocide in Gaza. Again, provide specifics**. I need to understand how the hell you've made such a poor assessment of all this. If you can't that's fine.
Well, trump is a lot worse, but he hasn't committed a genocide. So that makes it pretty close but in Trump's favor. Why would trump increase aid to Israel? He doesn't stand to make any money off it. We know how trump operates. He just wants to make money and have people talk about him. He is probably the most predictable president in living memory. The reason I think he'd pull back on aid to Israel is that he got us out of Afghanistan, and was the first president in 50 years not to start a new war. Dating back to 1945, it's only him, Carter, and Ford. We obviously can't rely on his words, but actions speak louder anyway. So, why do I think it? It's what he did last time. To be fair though, he will most likely try another coup.
You're seriously going to make the claim that Trump and the GOP don't fervently support Israel and the genocide they're committing? Are you high? Trump said quote "finish the problem" when asked about the genocide in Israel.
You're absolutely right, Trump (and the people surrounding him) are fairly predictable. That's why it's so confounding that someone would say he's less of a threat than Joe Biden.
The fact that you can say Trump will attempt ANOTHER coup and you still support him (you're voting for him, your words, don't say you don't support him) says everything. You should really think your position through if you want people to take you seriously. This is where I'm done with this conversation, hope you have a nice day and reevaluate what you're doing.
He supports Israel less fervently than Biden, who until a week ago was giving them "full throated support". The trump quote doesn't imply Israel needs to finish the job with our bombs. In fact, I would tend to key in on the word "finish". I think he wants to end it. I mean, consider how little we have all been talking about him comparatively ever since 10/7. He might just end the war so we all go back to talking about him 24/7. It's literally Trump's least favorite thing in the world: something not about him which he cannot profit off of. I'm not saying he's gonna suddenly do the right thing and just assassinate every Israeli politician and general, but I think Gaza will be in less danger if trump is president and the war hawks in DC don't get everything they ask for.
A coup isn't as bad as genocide. We survived the first one after all.
