      We need systems where we vote for policies rather than parties.

      Absolutely nothing will be fixed until we do.

      Imagine saying that with a straight face with one side has just declared they want to very actively partake in the genocide and just do the job themselves.

      This is like saying giving a murderer a knife is the same as going in with a machine gun yourself.

        I know you’re trying to be profound here, but in this case, it is exactly the same. Genocide Joe very reliably delivered WMD’s to Israel during his term in full knowledge that it was a vastly unpopular decision, up until his last day. The news reported something like 80 people killed in the days between the signing of the ceasefire and Biden leaving office.

        Whether it’s the US or Israel doing the squatting “settling” in Gaza, the results are the same. Biden and Trump diverge in minor ways, but unfortunately Israel doesn’t appear to be one of them.

          Thank you for conclusively proving you have literally no idea what you’re talking about. You are what is wrong with America. You are not educated.

          “Genocide Joe” wasn’t able to stop sending bombs. When Trump stopped sending military aid to Ukraine he was impeached. Why? Because it is illegal to impede a congressional approval. It was congress that approved the weapons to Israel. Biden had literally no choice. The most he could do, which he did, was stop the bombs from being sent for longer and longer periods. Put them in areas where they had to be inspected because it was the only thing he could do. Slow it down.

          And here you are screaming that he should have stopped sending anything, concretely proving that you have fallen for every scrap of propaganda.

          Congratulations. You’re a useful idiot.

            I am.

            Biden’s presidency was so similar to the prior one that millions of workers who’d voted previously didn’t even see the point in going to the polls.
