He's just going to get people killed. But that's ok he doesn't give a shit anyways, so it's moot. What are a few thousand dead peasants when we could make big stock number go up?

I don't agree with the last statement.

There's "continue with previously agreed weapons shipments to Israel" and there's "let's make Gaza a parking lot, invade Greenland, and ship these brown people to Guantanamo, citizens or not".

Biden/Harris were not perfect, but they were the proverbial one-eyed person... vs a blind donkey.

Don't forget that Trump is also talking about shifting control of Gaza to the US for some godforsaken reason (it's beachfront property and his real estate mogul friends will make tons of cash building resorts on mass graves and skeletons).

Context is important to discern meaning. Biden, the person, deserves nothing better than a jail cell. Harris too, on some level, though she's not as directly complicit. I voted for Harris anyways, because it was worth accepting that grave injustice to keep Trump out of power.

It was worth accepting that grave injustice to prevent and even bigger injustice.

We warned against Trump not because we dislike the guy, or his hair or his ties, we warned people that Trump would be even worse than whatever they/you disliked about the Biden admin.

It took him weeks to propose deporting 2M people from their own homeland and building a Trump hotel on the beachfront property left behind.
