    Not sure where I implied that at all. I simply said expecting Trump to be any better on the issue is moronic.

        I never said you said that, and I really don’t think I implied it. I said anyone who doesn’t realize the reality of the situation is a moron. I’m not sure why you’re so insistent to interpret that as “you specifically think this and are stupid”

            I was providing the primary reason a lot of us are holding our noses and voting for Biden anyway. Not everything is a personal attack against you.

              And we don’t have some magical moral choice here. We’re getting these 2, no questioning that. That’s why ensign crab connected the toddler. Because he inherently knows those are the choices. So having wet dreams about Biden not being a Zionist isn’t doing anyone favors.

              I mean, Biden could stop supporting genocide. But you don’t want him to. No centrist does.

                You know, you might try to start arguing in good faith, but you obviously won’t. I’m not a centrist and I certainly don’t want Biden supporting genocide.

                  Sure looks to me like you’re more upset at people who want Biden to stop supporting genocide than you are at Biden for supporting genocide. At least in this thread.

                  I associate that with centrists.

                    I’m annoyed that people want to ignore/downplay the danger of having donnie in office.

                    The choices are: Biden or Trump. That’s it.

                    Donnie is most likely going to be far worse for Gaza AND for us. Not only will there be genocide in Gaza, there is danger of that coming to our shores under donnie. I’d rather have a right-leaning centrist like Biden in office if the only alternative is donnie (and that is the only alternative).

                    And I’ve always detested our special relationship with Israel when it comes to them buying our politicians, who then send untold amounts of money to Israel to maintain a decades-long open-air prison, and to add salt in the wound, a compliant media that was calling everyone who pointed out how ridiculous and immoral that was an “antisemite”. This notion that only one country cannot have its policies questioned is absurd. For a long time, it was both U.S. and Israel that were in that category - in U.S. media, anyway. Then it became feasible to start questioning U.S. foreign policy, but not Israel’s. I think that is breaking down, now, too, thankfully. Unfortunately, lots of tankie idiots and agent provocateurs are likely to ruin that, not to mention the overreaction from campus leadership and so on…
