I'll put this right here:

"If 50,000 Palestinians dead under the rubble isn't enough to sway me from Democratic Party, I don't know what is," Afarajalla said.

Okay, I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that both of those war criminals, along with the DOGE crew, need to be lined up against a wall and buried in unmarked graves ASAP. I'm finished keeping my hatred for these fucking Nazi motherfuckers censored for polite company.

If only the nation were awash with guns, to secure the union, or something.

Hey remember when some people who self reported as leftists were saying this guy was going to stop the genocide?

Because I sure do.

I mean most of them were instead saying there was no difference between the two candidates, which is also incorrect but a lot less so (leaving a shit situation unresolved despite having the means to help != actively making it worse. Even if both suck).

But I sure as fuck saw some people, in self described leftist spaces, saying Trump was going to end the war.

You're talkin' bout me. Yeah, I was pretty impressed when Trump got a cease-fire so quickly. Thought he might actually be better in this respect than Harris. Sadly I was wrong -- I'll admit that.

What are the chances Republicans were pressuring Netanyahu to delay a ceasefire until after the election, like they did in the Iran hostage crisis?

[–] BrainInABox@lemmy.ml -1 points 3 hours ago

Zero. Biden could force a ceasefire if he wanted to; Trump couldn't force him not to. And Carter didn't provide Iran with tens of billions in arms, so it's not a good comparison.

Good. Ceasefire was just a cover to ramp up the cleansing in the West Bank though. He’s worse on all fronts.

Less Palestinians are dying, less bombs are being dropped, people are returning to Northern Gaza, which was ethnically cleansed under Biden, but you don't actually care about what happens to Palestinians, you just care that it's the red team doing it not the blue

What planet are you on, have you read the OP?

[–] BrainInABox@lemmy.ml 1 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

Literally this one. I know you were in full on genocide denial mode when Biden was in, but those are the facts

[–] auraithx@lemmy.dbzer0.com 0 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

You are absolutely gone.

There was a genocide under Biden. This is worse. Wake the fuck up.

[–] BrainInABox@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 hour ago

It's objectively not worse, you just care more about hating Trump than you do Palestinian lives.
