sorry, Russian plants, people know Trump will not only give Israel MORE weapons and NOT call for cease fires but will probably also send US troops. nobody’s dumb enough to think they’re “the same”

And now

President Biden told the Israeli leader that airstrikes that killed aid workers were “unacceptable” and appeared to condition future support on how Israel changes course. https://archive.ph/t5tIi

Meanwhile the alternative

The whole “Kamala is bad because Israel” line is so absurd compared to Trump that it really must be Russian propaganda.

There is a perspective that the genocide will be the same under both. Maybe a few months ago, but bidens since stopped asking for a cease fire, and has literally sent troops to israel to defend them already.

Its less about voting for trump and more about how increasingly unpalatable its become for some to endorse the current administration. For example in Michigan, a lot of people in the third party movement have family overseas, and its hard to argue to them that they should care more about the theoretical distopia being shouted at them versus the very real one they have been living for a while now.

Put yourself in someone else’s shoes for once.

If I didn’t care I wouldn’t comment. The perspective is materially absurd. Just because you can only change degrees doesn’t mean you can morally abdicate your responsibility to do so.
