But Biden is as bad as Trump according to some here. Yeah, ok.

Of course Trump is worse.

Now let’s not pretend that the Democratic Party has any love at all for these protestors. Let’s not pretend that the prevailing sentiment in this community isn’t that these protestors should shut up and stop criticizing US support for Netanyahu’s genocide because they’re worried it makes Biden look bad.

And let’s not pretend that the US isn’t a two-party system.

Don’t let the perfect be the enemy of the good. Your choices are Trump or Biden.

Biden thinks the protestors have a First Amendment right to speak out. Repubs want them attacked by the National Guard and/or deported to a war zone.

I did not mention Biden’s opinion regarding the protestors.

No he doesn’t. He wouldn’t be painting them as violent protests that allows everyone to dismiss their first amendment rights if he did.

Vote for Biden, of course. There’s no better choice, to my utter dismay.

The prevailing attitude on Lemmy seems to be that Israel should be wiped from the face of the earth. Comments that don’t support the protesters are quite rare.

Not many people outside of the full-on tankie brigades are arguing that Israel has no right to exist as a country. On the other hand, they are arguing that Palestinine also has a right to exist as a country, and that the land that Israel has unjustly taken, and continues to take, should be returned. And that Israel should need to make reparations for the Palestinian non-combatants they’ve killed, and the land they’ve stolen.

It’s clear that Israel as a country will never allow Palestinians to have a full voice in their government, so the only reasonable choice at this point is a two-state solution.

Israel is sure doing their best job to try and make that the prevailing attitude. And frankly, I don’t know that I disagree anymore. Get the civilians out of harms way, and then wipe out the government and the IDF, alongside Hamas.

Vote for Biden in November and criticize his support for genocide until he stops. I’ve said this more than a few times already.

If they want any chance in hell, they pick Biden.

Trump rolls out the red carpet for Netanyahu and tries to secure the rights to build a hotel and golf resort on the beach in Gaza.

Actually if they want a chance they will go with a wild card because they already know what Biden would do.

Based on this article, I think they’d want Biden.

There is a very clear choice now, that many of us have been trying to explain. Trump would be infinitely worse for Palestinians, and he proves it to you here. If you actually care about the Palestinians, it’s clear which of the two you should vote for.

If you only care about scoring political points however and using the Palestinians as pawns to that end, I could see why your voting decision would be more challenging.

I dont think you understand how dire things are for palestinians right now. Even if Trump were elected and Gaza was completely wiped off the map, he’d only be responsible for like 10% of the destruction. Its about to be completely gone, Rafah is the last place in Gaza and its already being bombed. Really tired of this lame excuse for Bidens genocide.

Bidens better in some ways and continuing or advocating for Trumps policies in others.

So makes sense why some would say that

And just makes it worse when Biden is doing some of his polices.
