I came in here to talk about what a piece of shit Netanyahu is, and to say it actually might not be a bad idea for him to come talk to congress, because of the potential for backlash which it seems to me would outweigh any benefit I could see this carrying for him (like literally I can't really see any productive point to it -- he's already got his weapons; drawing any more attention to himself and giving people a reason to get pissed off at him and say it directly to his face in a fashion that can get onto the news can only lead to bad things for him).
Instead I found myself encountering the word "Biden" for literally no reason at all. You realize that being so transparent about trying to twist around any news story into your favorite conclusion to draw from it, is just throwing into sharp relief how little of a fuck you give about anything that's not related to your project to try to get Trump elected, yes?
You're allowed to criticize Biden and the Democratic Party.
Without a doubt voting for Trump is the biggest mistake anyone can make. It you're not happy about the Israel situation Trump is the worst person to solve it. Trump's answer is "kill them all" and with no regard for innocent lives, children or civilians. It's continued genocide and it is not acceptable. Trump can't be reasoned with because he isn't a reasonable person.
Biden and the Democratic Party, that's the answer. However it's stupid to ignore the millions in money that have come their way. Biden and Democrats aren't perfect, far from it. But they are reasonable, they can be reasoned with.
No single individual or single election is going to solve all our problems. It's a long process. Biden has done plenty of good, as have Democrats. But Biden and Democrats can do better.
Perfectly said!! That’s exactly what they do. They twist everthing into a an anti-Biden agenda. In the comments of so many posts you can see them twisting the narrative into “Biden BAAAAD!”
Also note how you almost never them commenting on any posts regarding Trump and his bullshit.
It’s plainly obvious what they’re doing.
I don’t get “triggered” I’m an adult. And I absolutely believe that the truth of something should always be told, regardless. Whether is supplying weapons to genocidal tyrants, or paying off porn stars.
However, there is a fuck ton of bad actors here using Biden’s actions/decisions as a platform to try and get Trump elected via the pressuring of single-issue voters to not vote- despite the myriad other policies and efforts he’s made to support Americans.
In fact, it’s shared on almost every anti-Biden post here the shit he has done that has helped Americans. Yet- we still have clowns that are shouting at people to not vote.
They know exactly what they’re doing and why, and we know exactly what they’re doing and why, but we cannot directly call them out on it because they get the comments removed and accounts banned for suggesting it.
