    Genocide Joe going full steam ahead with this through the election. Let’s see how well the Democrats can do winning the Nazi vote.

      I see this argument a lot, and I am absolutely a hardliner on genocide. That said, I am also aware that a second Trump presidency will be the end of our nation as we know it. It used to be so simple when voting for candidates - it was “evil” vs “more of the same”, but now it’s “evil” vs “genocide as a foreign policy.”

      What is the exit strategy for us as a nation? How many times can we stave off a Republican presidency? Even voting blue we are slipping right - how many times can we vote for the Democrats until we’ve made so many concessions that the blue guy is just exactly equivalent to the current red guy?

      I’m really trying to argue in good faith. If someone has a decent answer to this, I’d love to hear their side. Otherwise it seems to me like we are headed for some kind of civil war in this country.

      You think the Trump and the Republicans will be any better?

        I’m not sure that matters when Biden’s support for genocide is making a second Trump term more and more likely. He needs to be differentiating himself from Trump in order to drive turnout. Blindly supporting Israel’s ethnic cleansing campaigns does the exact opposite.

      Ah yes, the classic centrist appeal to esteemed colleagues on the “other side” of the political spectrum. Leave it to Dems to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory, somehow handing a win to the criminal former president McDrinkBleach
