I’m not going to argue about severity, especially when the only side that even pretended to try to deescalate was Trump. Genocide is genocide. It’s a hard line for me; any amount is unacceptable.

You literally say here lip service is all you need.

You seem to be under the impression that things getting worse under Trump is somehow entirely independent from the actions of the people who ran the country in what you openly admit was largely the same direction before him

I have never once said that they were largely in the same direction.

I didn’t vote for Trump either. His “lip service” was an actual ceasefire that Israel predictably violated. Biden never even pretended that far, only ever providing actual lip service.

Sorry, I misinterpreted the fact that you didn’t address either of the initial points I made about Trump’s Gaza and Venezuelan foreign policy being a continuation of Biden’s as implicit agreement. I edited the original post to remove that, feel free to address the rest if you like.

I think Trump has severely escalated things in Gaza and obviously in Venezuela but even if that’s true Harris told us she would do things differently and work towards peace.

Biden spent the entire war telling us how he was tirelessly working for peace. Why would his VP who spent her entire campaign anchoring herself down with Biden’s baggage only to set down this one suitcase at the last second be any different?

Trump also says he’s working toward peace. They’re all liars.

Actions speak louder than words and if she actually believed what she weakly put out, then she would have attacked Biden for supporting the genocide until he backed down. She didn't care till she saw the polling numbers cause these evil bastards only care about power and never human lives.
