    You have two candidates supporting Genocide.

    But only one of them has a voting base that will support it.

    So you have one candidate that can support Genocide. And that’s Trump.

      And to be fair, I doubt Biden would support it personally if he had the political ways not to.

          The most powerful man in the world doesn’t have the power to not support it. Not even “stop” it, just not support it??

              friend, i appreciate you and you are absolutely right. i’m not sure if you are aware of how much the US is tied to israel. i have been learning more and more everyday. one thing that chills me is that multiple states, both red and blue, including NY and TX, have stock in israel bonds in the hundreds of millions. they have tied it to the state employment pension funds. what do you think state workers would say if their pensions just vanished into thin air because israel tanked?

              i don’t say this to discourage or police you but we need to have that in the periphery as we are fighting the good fight and arguing with these notions of binary choices and personal responsibility and guilt you should feel should trump win (although it wasn’t likely biden was going to win anyway, “nvm that” they will say). some people have their whole futures secured by the zionist project and some of them are everyday folk and may not even know what is propping up their privilege and security.

              biden absolutely has the power to stop this. could he get fucking sued to fuck all because of it, i imagine so. but the pressure is on, and felt! he has said that airdropped aid will come, and that there needs to be immediate ceasefire. i haven’t read the word permanent yet but this means we know its working. we just need to crank up the heat a little more and make sure we drill this screw all the way into the stud.

              i don’t have high hopes on the outlook and i think dune is a good reference here since timing and all. its like when paul can’t see beyond certain ridges of time in his visions. i’m not trying to say that I am psychic like that but i think collectively we all have this massive anxiety and its hard to project thought and planning into the future because there are so many bends and curves that we could take that we can’t predict. anyway, i appreciate your persistence here and i pray you stay safe.
