So…

Since Biden went around Congress to supply weapons to Israel they’re using to genocide the people of Gaza…

Biden is now claiming personal responsibility for the genocide in Gaza?

Like, has anybody honestly checked on Biden lately? Does he not understand what he’s saying or is he really leaning into “what are you gonna do, vote trump?” Strategy this hard already?

Because the danger is depressing turnout enough trump may win, not Dem voters voting trump.

And this shit show of a comment is going to depress turnout for Biden…

I really think Trump will win again. Regardless of my opinion, I see that Republicans are focusing mainly on “look how good our guy is” and Democrats are only saying “look how bad that guy is” . The Democrats don’t seem enthusiastic about their candidate.

The thing is they’re half assing it.

They want voter to believe at the same time:

  1. If trump is president he can do anything he wants.

  2. If Biden is president, the president has no power.

Only Republicans and neoliberals are used to dealing with that level of cognitive dissonance.

It’s why 1/3 of eligible voters don’t vote.

I’ll probably get eaten alive by this comment section, but I’ll try anyway. I think there is more nuance here.

Trump has no respect for the rule of law, checks and balances, or the intended role of the executive branch. Trump at president will do anything possible to achieve his goals, no matter what he tramples along the way.

Biden isn’t that type of president. He does respect checks and balances and the idea of a powerful, but constrained presidency. He’s not going to go slam through a blatantly unconstitutional EO every time he doesn’t get his “wall”.

Much like before Trump, if you want change, you have to vote for more than the presidency, unless you’re willing to trample everything about the three branches of government. And maybe you’re also looking for an unleashed sort of populist presidency, but that’s not going to fly with the majority of democratic voters who still want to return to some degree of governmental normalcy.

It is because they aren’t. Biden is a “not Trump” candidate. That’s it. We are voting against Trump, not for Biden.

Not only supplying Israel is the direct reason why US soldiers are being targeting but also it bace the way to radicalized the new bin laden and the new ISIS. Who would target US individuals and interests every where.

While in the past the attacks are mostly is happening in middle east, there are no guarantees to fight will affect civilians in the US.

No one talk why bin laden became anti-usa eventhough he studied in western university and from a wealthy family. It is the US foreign affairs in supporting Israel that resulted in 9/11 directly or indirectly.

He’s really leaning in already, and the damn fool is going to lose the election because of it. Absolutely disgraceful.

If he literally didn’t have to go around congress, why did he?

Just for a laugh?

Just to show he could if he wanted to?

Did he fucking forget that he could.

Q Mr. President, do you hold Iran responsible for the death of those three Americans?

THE PRESIDENT: I do hold respon- — them responsible in the sense that they’re supplying the weapons to the people who did it.

Cool. Now do Israel.
