    ROFL. I’m 51.

    And I’ve lived long enough to know that we live within the grey area that exists between the polarized black and white everyone wants to see nowadays. I’ve also lived long enough to learn there’s nuance to EVERYTHING. And stubbornly crying about how an elected official’s stance on policies abroad is wrong- while ignoring the bigger picture at home- is a potentially catastrophic and downright dangerously ignorant line of thinking.

    But you do you.

    Were can be done with this discussion now. The fact that you’ve made knee-jerk assumptions without knowing a single thing about me speaks volumes on how much of a waste of time this discussion has been, and will be.

    Enjoy your evening and move along.

      There really isn’t much nuance or gray area when it comes to genocide.

      The United States’ Biden Administration is currently funding and supporting a genocide in Gaza. That is unforgivable.

      Trump would be even worse than Biden. But there are enough people in Michigan, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, and Arizona who are going to be turned off by this (and by inflation, etc) that it won’t matter.

      The Democratic Party is fully to blame for this result, no American voter is culpable for what happens in November.

      The 2024 election should be a slam dunk for any Non-Republican Party. The Democrats’ political incompetence is solely to blame for any loss - and that incompetence is reaching a point where it is hard to believe that they are accidentally this stupid. All of this is going to support the “Monoparty” and other conspiracy theories, which are looking less and less like mere theories

        Genocide from Trump comes with an extra helping of military enforced dictatorship and corruption, with a side order of LGBTQ+ oppression and racism…

        But don’t let this get in the way of your bOtH siDeS’ism.

          That isn’t a convincing argument. It also isn’t even responsive to what I said.

          If you’re trying to persuade people then that argument won’t do it
