    I made it up? It must have been a hallucination when all the people who didn’t vote for Kamala for her stance on the genocide in Palestine were called “purity testers” who were letting the “perfect be the enemy of the good”? Come on. Don’t act like you aren’t aware of this. It was one of the biggest contributors to her election loss and one of the issues that vote-abstainers are most constantly criticized for. I just made it up? You’re fooling nobody.

      Okay…so now they get to also feel proud about making the genocide worse. Like the people that convinced them not to vote. like you.

      At least take pride in the fact that you get to kill more brown people, dude. I have more respect for someone who wears a maga hat proudly. Not this cowardly shit.

        Hey, you’re the one who voted for someone who wanted to kill brown people, not me. And now you’re saying you respect someone who wears a maga hat? I guess that tracks

          Yes, you just stood back and stood by, in an effort to help someone worse win.

          Correct. I respect a shitty person with integrity more than a shitty coward.

        Yeah, Trump doesn’t even bother to put in a floating pier that delivers nothing!

        I’d love to see the math on how Kamala losing made the genocide worse. Show your work.

              All of them began under Trump’s term or after his election, when Biden/Harris were being actively sidelined by the GOP. With the exception of the incursion into the West Bank, which went from minor skirmishes run by settlers to major, organized operations by the IDF under trump.

                Uh no. The Israelis have been occupying the West Bank for decades.

                Israel attacked Iran first directly in April 2024 - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2024_Iran–Israel_conflict.

                The invasion of Lebanon began in September 2024.

                Syria was in 2024 as well.

                or after his election, when Biden/Harris were being actively sidelined by the GOP

                That’s nonsense. They held power until Trump was inaugurated.

                  West Bank: yes they have. The violence in the last two years rivals that of the decade prior, though. They know trump don’t care.

                  Israel attacked Iran, and it was over in two days. Now, it’s six months in and ongoing.

                  The invasion of Lebanon in terms of IDF regular troops on Lebanon soil, displacing civilians began in 2025.

                  Syrian civil war was in 2024. The involvement of IDF ground troops began after the election of trump.

                  Even if youre right (which you are not), trump has made it all worse. Is that your intent? To make things worse, to kill more brown folks that you use as political tokens? Do you need that trump win that bad? You could just admit it. Wear that maga hat proud. Don’t do this cowardly shit where you pretend you don’t like what happening. Own it. I’d at least be able to respect you having the balls to own it.

                    Literally ever example you gave was before Trump was reelected. Except Syria, which was while Biden was still in office and held power. Hell, due to the SCOTUS decision, he was even held immune to prosecution for any actions.

                    He and his administration could have cut off arms to Israel in a minute. They chose not to.

                    to kill more brown folks that you use as political tokens

                    You’re the one that voted for genocide, shithead.

                    trump has made it all worse

                    Except your examples are all from under Biden.

                    Do you need that trump win that bad?

                    I’m not a Trump supporter. Unlike you, I don’t support people doing genocide.

                    I’d at least be able to respect you having the balls to own it.

                    No honey, you have no respect for anyone, not even yourself, politically. You just want your team to win so you can go back to brunch, and don’t care what it costs.
