I mean, Trump at this time did say that he was going to put American boots on the ground in Gaza and pave it over to put up a luxury beach resort, so I wouldn't say that they're literally the same on this, but it's a measure between actively supporting genocide and actively supporting and taking part in said genocide through direct military action.

Both parties love Israeli money, one just also happens to be run by a man who would love to wipe non-white ethnicities off the planet and build more towers to his inflated ego where they once lived.

    American boots on the ground in Gaza and pave it over to put up a luxury beach resort,

    Don't see much difference apart from the jersey being worn by the settlers murderers and raiders, personally. The policy is ultimately the same.

    run by a man who would love to wipe non-white ethnicities off the planet and build more towers to his inflated ego where they once lived.

    And I'm sure Joe 'Fund the Police' Biden and his sidekick Harris are super concerned about non-white ethnicities. His enthusiasm for keeping the WMD's flowing mid-genocide and mid-famine really sells me on his supposed empathy for them too.

    This isn't a zero sum game and this isn't about defending a president who can at best be said to have kept the ship afloat and recovered some of the economic damage caused by Trump's COVID response, nor the shitty option B the Dems forced on us without a primary. All of the above can be terrible. That's always an option.

    You see one jersey or the other, I saw two jerseys with twice the players on the horizon. The policy is the same now, but in 2024 during the election? When the guy who idolizes war mongers like Putin and who used to read Hitler's speeches before bed (according to the biography of an ex-wife), and who had previously said about the Middle East that he wanted to "nuke the sand into glass" said that he wanted to invade Gaza and put a carrier just off the coast, I fully believed that the strip would be gone and the people who lived there a footnote in the history books written by Israel and the US by now.

    Both suck. Both support genocide. But one was talking about accelerating it by an order of magnitude that didn't leave nukes off the table. If they hadn't replaced the big red button in the Oval Office with one that orders a diet coke, he would've slammed it the first chance he got.
