Israel genocide wouldn’t be possible without US unconditional backup.

The US has delivered 90,000 tons of bombs, guns, and other military equipment to Israel since October 7, 2023, to support the genocidal war against Palestinians in the Gaza Strip, according to numbers from the Israeli Defense Ministry.

The ministry stated that the military equipment has included “armored vehicles, munitions, ammunition, personal protection gear, and medical supplies” and that the US support is “a significant component” in ensuring the Israeli military can continue the slaughter in Gaza.

    Not only that. Biden violated US and International law to go around Congress to provide some of that…

    Not holding shitty neoliberals accountable for flagrant shit like that only normalizes what trump does and makes idiots think they’re equally bad

    Like. They’re both genocidal assholes, but trump is obviously the worst of the two.

    Giving America the choice between two genocidal assholes tho, almost always results in the worst one winning, because they don’t lose any votes from their base for supporting genocide.

      I’m not disagreeing with the rest of what you said, but I’d not be so sure about this last part

        You think Trump’s voter have an issue with trump supporting the genocide of Palestinians?

        I’m “lucky” to live in a red area, and from what I can see they’re happy anytime someone brown or Muslim is hurt. And ecstatic when they’re killed.

        Their only issue seems to be wanting more death and destruction, not less.

          There are some libertarian types who might put up a token objection to medding in foreign conflicts. However, Trump equivocated on foreign policy while Biden and Harris were fully gung ho about getting involved in every conflict everywhere, which allowed Trump to sell himself as more “moderate” on foreign policy (though in reality he’s also a hawk).

          The core of Trump’s base has no problem with it, of course, but they’re always going to vote for him and not every voter Trump replied on to win fits that stereotype.

            Giving America the choice between two genocidal assholes tho, almost always results in the worst one winning, because they don’t lose any votes from their base for supporting genocide.

            The “they” refers back to “the worst one”.

            I wasn’t sure if you were trying to say trump wasn’t the worst one, but it seems you just didn’t understand.

            Quick edit:

            The singular “they” has been used since before Shakespeare, unless you’re a highlander it’s older than you are.

        Reagan is also gone now, guess we can’t complain about what he had done either.

        And? He actively and gladly hurt/killed hundreds of thousands to quite possibly millions of people in Gaza through the military aid he supplied Israel for their genocide. Biden’s ass cancer can’t kill him fast enough.

        We’ll be dealing with the mess he left for longer than Trump is in office…

        Elections have consequences

        Edit:

        To clarify, are you also just upset at the singular they like the other person was?

        I don’t want to waste any more time on the rightwing pronoun police, so if that’s your problem just say it.
