I'm not saying they aren't. I'm saying that taking the moral high ground by relinquishing your vote to choose between a number of leaders because you don't want to vote for someone "evil" means that you are disqualifying yourself from every major election almost everywhere by default.

That's an enormously stupid take.

Everyone who believes Biden is evil because they think he has a magic genocide-off button on his desk isn’t paying attention.

Who's been blocking the last two UN resolutions on a ceasefire? Who's been bypassing congress to arm a genocidal settler state? I'm sure Trump would also do this, maybe worse, but stop trying to pretend your corpse emperors shit doesn't stink

🙄 Way to miss the point.

Do you understand that it's possible to hold the belief that what the US is doing with Israel is wrong and also realize that the US can't independently stop it from happening?

Did you read what I typed or not? The reason the US is still in this is their influence in the middle east. I'm not arguing that corpse-emperor is almighty and correct, I'm saying that geopolitics is a thing.

If we can't have an actual discussion about this without you putting words in my mouth to paint it like I support that, then I guess this conversation ends here.

I'm reading what you typed, you're just wrong and appear to have a tenuous grip on reality so I'm fine to stop talking here too.

Sure, that's what it is.

Anyway, here's some reading material for you in the form of relevant discussion backing up most of what I said. You might learn something.

Although something makes me think you won't come to understand the overall picture mostly by choice, since you seem to be stuck on your hate boner for Biden.

In my experience, it's the people who accuse other people of having a tenuous grip on reality who tend to be extremely rigid in their own biases and are afraid to challenge them.

So have fun with that. Later.

That's a lot of words to claim that a global superpower is somehow unable to bring its dog to heel.

Have fun defending genocide to someone who will believe you.
