The Republican presidential candidate ridiculously claimed that Biden is "trying to hold" Bibi back, as the Israeli prime minister continued to ruthlessly bomb Lebanon and Gaza.

“He’s doing a good job,” Trump saidabout the Israeli leader. “Biden is trying to hold him back, just so you understand, Biden is more superior to the VP. He’s trying to hold him back, and he probably should be doing the opposite, actually. I’m glad that Netanyahu decided to do what he had to do, but it’s moving along pretty good.”

    It was straight after you seemed to be criticising “vote blue no matter who”

    It has become obvious that it just means “vote for the centrist, but centrists are under no obligation to vote for a progressive under similar circumstances.” Democrats are super scared of alienating pro-genocide centrists, but are happy to just lecture progressives about how they’re all trumpers if they don’t get with the program and support the eradication of Palestinians. After decades, this is really stretching party loyalty for a lot of us, and to be screamed at and called trumpers just because we don’t like the genocide that centrists seem to be fucking delighted with, well, it’s becoming clear that party loyalty is expected, but never reciprocated.

    I do think we should chalk this one up to us both reading a bit more into what each other were saying than what was actually said. Either way, I apologise for making you feel criticised for things you didn’t say.

    Apology accepted.

      I appreciate it. I think we might be able to agree that the genocide needs to stop immediately, and also that if she wins, Kamala Harris needs to make it an absolute top priority as soon as she gets into the oval office!

        She should make some indication before she gets into the oval office. But she won’t. I’m voting for her tomorrow morning when early voting opens in my state. But I’m taking a long shower afterwards. And that “I voted” sticker is going upside down on my laptop. Maybe one day there will be one that can go right side up again, but given that the Democratic Party is one of two pro-genocide parties in this country and the only way they ever change is to move to the right, that’s not happening.
