Dawg they're wiping out Palestine now, under a Democrat. Acting like there's any daylight between Trump and Kamala in terms of what they actually do is just liberal cope.

Painting a rainbow on the side of the bomb doesn't make it any less of a bomb.

I apologize, I was rushed and didn't adequately explain myself. I want to restate the premise on which I made my comment. Israel has a large military and is using it to kill Palestinians right now. I absolutely agree with that. Israel is using weapons provided by the United States, and the transfer of those weapons was authorized by the current Democratic administration. No disagreements there.

My fear is that the military of the United States will become directly involved in the Palestinian genocide. I am afraid of the much larger and better armed US military actively leveling grid squares filled with Palestinian civilians with missiles. What is happening right now is already monstrous. I want the United States to divest and cease its involvement in this genocide at the bare minimum. I want the United States to directly oppose Israel and stop the genocide, using force if necessary. I very much do not want the United States' involvement to increase. If Donald Trump is elected, an increase in the use of force against Palestine may happen. That is my argument. I absolutely do not believe that the current administration is doing the right thing here. I hate it, and I want it to stop. I just also don't want it to get worse.

an increase in the use of force against Palestine may happen

It may also happen under Kamala.

All of this "Kamala might be better than Biden or Trump on genocide" is purely based on vibes and not based on anything she's ever done or said.

Trump has openly said he would end the war in Ukraine swiftly by giving Ukraine to Putin, his good friend. Ignorance is bliss i guess, at least Kamala isn't spewing Russian propaganda

It's based on things the republicans have done and said.

And they would be wiping palestine AND ukraine under a Republican, whats your point. It's shitty to have to pick a lesser evil and americans should protest having to do that,, but let's not pretend they are the same evil.

Trump openly admits he would be doing far far worse

Downvoted for obvious truths. Must be a tankie instance.
