Trump isn't in office. This is a question about Biden.

[–] Snowclone 3 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Biden isn't living in a bubble, he's running against Trump, and it's clearly effecting his domestic policy heavily, anyone can see he's trying to shore up weaknesses Biden has against Trump's old policies and rhetoric. If you can't grasp that Biden is making decisions based on the 8 years he was in the legislator under W, the 8 years he was VP under Obama and he 4 years he's been president, compared to Trump's 4, and the current race for President against Trump's record and current talking points, you're not capable of having a conservation about politics.

Oh yes how silly of me. Supporting a genocide is just good politics. Very well carry on murdering and raping.

"Why is Biden letting Genocide happen"

let's look at the history and context and where we are now politically to understand why

"You can't talk about that! We're talking about why Biden letting genocide happen!!!!"

Yeah, he's letting genocide happen for these reasons that's why that's what I'm talking about

"YOU LOVE GENOCIDE!!!!!!"

it's like your immune to nuance. Look if you want to organize a protest to demand serious actions against genocide take place, I'll show up and get pepper sprayed by the cops right next to you. That's the only realistic action to take that could change anything the US government is doing. But if you wanna talk about why. Your gonna have to stop plugging your ears and yelling.

I was talking about Biden, but sure, go off. There is no nuance to genocide. You don't support one and then get the "good guy" stamp in history books. There is no excuse, no possible reason it's somehow morally okay.

It's so weird that you can't grasp that I'm not arguing with you.
