            name a democrat

            names republicans

            though i’m not an american so idk all your 40 whatever it is presidents but all the ones i recognise there are republicans and im pretty sure that if the ones there are real old then well… it’s a totally different party to what it was? it’s not a team - its politics after all; things change

              I mean his original comment didn’t specify democrat, and in his second comment, I didn’t think it was a worthwhile stipulation. Also, Nixon and Reagan still loom somewhat large over the modern Republican Party, and GWB and the wunderraper are both very recent republican presidents

              Edit: and I mean where he said the worst monster to occupy the White House, that seems to imply all former residents, no? Not just democrats

              starved a great many by just capitalist ideology, but that’s not really genocide…

              Genocide doesn’t require bloodthirst, it does just fine with sacrifice whole populations for some other goal or accepting those deaths as “collateral”. The UN definition supports this.

                  I am obliged to note that genocide does not need to be racial (it can target religion, sexuality, nationality, etc.), but your point stands because none of those apply either. I’ll just mark it in the Black Book of Capitalism and be content with that.

      You understand he’s not running now, right? The rest of the post is a non-sequitor because he’s not the candidate now.

          The entire US government is the image of war crimes they egged on, regardless of party. Don’t act like you’re not immediately a war criminal by becoming president. Trump is a war criminal. So is Biden, and Obama, and every president before then with precious few exceptions.

          I wasn’t.

          It’s just that while there is a genocide going on in Gaza.

          There’s a genocide roughly 10x as large going on in Ukraine, and that one is threatening to spill out in ww3, and nobody from Ukraine started it.

          Russia is trying to make as much trouble in the world as it can to distract from Ukraine, and I’m willing to let Gaza keep going as it has for a while.

          Yes, I’m a genocide-whatever-er, and I don’t care, because the other genocide is so much worse.

          But as the ml-boys say: “If Gaza wants it to end, they just have to surrender to Israel”, like they say Ukraine should.

            Civilian deaths in Ukraine over the last ~3.5 years are still smaller than the substantially underestimated civilian death toll in Gaza after 1 year (which came from a very stringent set of definitions that basically can’t be executed on anymore because of Israel bombing the hospitals).

            There’s no way you could get to this conclusion except some hysterical idea about Putin wanting to put all the Ukrainians in camps as though that’s what he did with Crimea.

                What are you doing with cutesy sarcasm and cherrypicked headlines? Just look at the civilian death tolls. The immediately-presented numbers are 36k over 3.5 years to 42k over 1 year, and that’s again with massive under-reporting in the latter case.

                    Aside, again, from the fact that Gaza is being undercounted severely due to strict criteria for marking a civilian death combined with most of the hospitals in Gaza being blown up, yes! the rate of killing matters a great deal to understanding what is going on unless you are taking the hysterical view that Putin is going to kill every Ukrainian and is just dragging his feet a little.

                I know I shouldn’t feed the troll, but um…Yeah, that is evil that they bombed a school and hospital. It is also evil on what is happening in Ukraine. Both can be true.

                However, the USA has a a larger influence to put a stop on only one of them, and that is by, at the very least, dramatically reducing the arms being sent to Israel. If Israel knew they would not get resupplied with weapons and ammo so easily then it would make them think twice about using what they already have.

              Thank you for exposing yourself.

              Gaza should have just surrendered to Israel completely, let them do whatever for leave to begin with.

              I’m not white, I’m hindu, you racist son of a removed.
