Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

YOU still don't get it. On the surface, you act like Biden and Trump are the same, when they're not. It's nice you think I'd make a better president than Trump, but a literal rock would make a better president as that's incapable of treason.
Unless you have a plan to change the Democratic nominee this year, all you're doing is depressing voter turnout by encouraging people to forget one simple fact: Biden is not a traitor.
I do hope you'll understand someday soon, but until then you can have this block, because I'm not explaining it again.
How many genocides did trump actively support?
Fucking 0?!?!?!?
You mean besides the one he wants to start when he's elected?

There was also his threat to nuke North Korea, which would be a genocide.

Then there was his threat of cultural genocide in Iran...
https://www.npr.org/2020/01/06/794006073/trump-says-hell-target-iran-s-cultural-sites-that-s-illegal
And of course there's the genocides that Trump wouldn't admit ever happened.

As far as his Israeli policy? He acknowledged that Israel's claim that Jerusalem, a city divided between Israelis and Palestinians, was Israel's capital, pretty much ending any hope for peace.

So sure, he did not literally directly support an ongoing genocide... but I think it's clear that he would.
He threatens a lot of shit.
Lmk when Mexico pays for that wall.
Good job ignoring every single link I posted and only going with the very first sentence of my post.
I'm assuming you didn't even read the rest based on that.
I don’t think he will be able to pull it off.
I care more about the fact that Biden sold himself to us as a good guy and turned around and did this.
To me the man turned his back on my loyalty to him, and he just continues to do so.
He says “Oh no too violent” then sends more bombs
Why don't you think he will be able to pull it off?
Are you aware of Project 2025?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_2025
I’m also aware of project Mexico will pay for the wall , yet I see no wall and what little bit of it did get made we paid for
That was not a united Republican project. That was a Trump claim.
Do you really not understand the difference?
This was 10,000 dead children, 20,000 innocent people, if we believe Israel’s estimate of every strike getting 1/3 Hamas and 2/3 civilian.
Do you really not see the difference?
I do not trust Biden anymore, I did and then he did this.
What’s next?
You are afraid of what trump says he will do, I’m more afraid of the next thing Biden doesn’t say he will do.
I had a thing typed out but my conscience won’t let me directly root for someone to die early.
So, it would be best for the world if neither of them were valid candidates before November.
Failing that, alive things can be fixed.
Dead is just dead, no take backs, no trying, just done.
Every single one, 20,000 second chances to succeed, 20,000 potential chances to be the one to end the war, 20,000 potential chances to elevate the rights of queer people everywhere, gone.
No, I'm afraid of what Trump will do based on what he has already done.
But you've already told me to allow my daughter to suffer as long as she doesn't die for the sake of others, so I'm not really interested in your opinion.
He committed more US troops to help the Saudis against Yemen.
