Why do you think the Democrats would have pushed back? I don’t believe there’s any factual basis for that. I don’t believe they’ve even whispered a word about slowing military aid. Biden did way more to openly encourage genocide than trump has so…I don’t really understand what you mean.
Amen man, I think the democrats should do everything they can to fight like hell and beat the fascists. Including not arming a genocide (which of course, they should do for more reasons than just winning the US elections).
I absolutely cannot comprehend how them not doing that is acceptable to you, but me not voting for them is not acceptable to you lol…like they’re clearly the moral agent here. All I can do is whine about it, lodge my non-vote and get back to my life. This is their fuckin job. They have unimaginable resources to figure this out, but sure I guess fuck me for not taking my one in two hundred million part in the decision of which party of genocidal maniacs is in charge; sweet or bitter.
Look at something like this it's talking about how Biden didn't do enough. His call to Netanyahu which cause Isreal to open the borders to humanitarian aide wasn't done early enough. Now compare that to this. Of course one can cherry pick quotes. You can find Biden saying Israel has a right to defend itself, which is true but doesn't give them the right to kill Palestine civilians wantonly. You can find trump saying all sorts of random shit; but he goes way further against the people of Gaza and people in shithole countries (his words). Yes Biden financed Isreal, and this was framed as defense. The tides were turning by the end of '24. It was only once Biden was lame duck that Isreal went full postal. And that's arguably because Biden was holding them in check.
Again, I don’t care as much about what’s said as I do about who funds it. Maybe you’re right, and there actually is a significant difference in how may people get killed. But obviously I don’t think so, at least enough to not vote for Kamala and to have a days long conversation defending that choice.
You don’t hold someone in check by giving them $18 billion worth of guns.
