    They won’t embarass America on the world stage every day, they won’t fund the Gestapo to assault minorities and they won’t threaten allies with invasion.

    Yaaay we get decorum and stability at home so we can ignore the Palestinians / Yemenis / Somalis / etc being bombed overseas! Hopefully the bomb will even be dropped by a diverse team under the Dems!

      That’s a single issue. I agree it’s shitty all around. But there are hundreds of issues that are more important. Namely allowing children to be molested, people dying from not having healthcare, and deporting parents and stranding children just to name a few.

      It’s shitty all around. It’s even shittier when it turns into a pissing contest of shittiness.

        Palestinians / Yemenis / Somalis / etc

        I’m confused how supporting and engaging in genocide and bombing humans in multiple countries with unique circumstances is both a single issue separate to and less important than doing the same (without bombs) nearer to home.

        I guess everyone has a different tolerance for blood on their hands…

          Imagine you have a house that is managed by landlords. The landlords have changed ownership and management many times and allowed the plumbing and heating and electricity to become inoperable. Now there are termites.

          At some point management put in an HOA and made it so the HOA kicks your neighbors out without any consideration.

          We have bigger internal issues. It ain’t my blood. All Americans are fully aware we should not be financing anything like that.

            The landlords are burning down houses on the other side of town with the renters trapped inside. Then they start doing the same in another neighborhood, then another in the city. When do you start thinking they’ll do the same to you regardless of the termites and rot?

            Internal issues aren’t bigger. They’re more personally dangerous. You’re simply saying human life near you is more important than human life elsewhere. If absolutely nothing else, paying taxes makes it blood on Americans hands.

            Given that the US is engaging in the wars it’s clear that not all Americans are fully aware. I mean there are still a ton of conservatives who are pro-Zionism.

            That said i know the left is growing and stronger every day. I know there’s people trying to fix things. The people I’ve known who are most effective never considered the border when valuing the state’s actions.

        1. Joe Biden had the files and did not release them, so miss me with the “only dems will save the kids” shit
        2. I don’t know why you’re implying we need to pick one or the other, but claiming that (at most) 100 - 200 western children being molested takes precedence over thousands of Palestinian children being murdered displays your white supremacist mindset.
        3. Parents being deported and stranding children is terrible. It is not more terrible than parents being murdered and children being murdered. What the fuck are you talking about?

        constant international war mongering and bombing innocents is a single issue? and not even a major one for you?

          and Russia, and China, and every 1st world country of similar size. Wake up sheeple!

          We are living through a time of international tug of war on political influence, resources, and land.
