at least he was trying to talk Netanyahu down and setup a peace deal.

This is fiction, considering all the materiel and money the US sent over. Joe Biden saw 40 beheaded babies. He’s the only one who saw this. He also said, “I have no notion that the Palestinians are telling the truth about how many people are killed,” directly downplaying the casualty numbers. Maybe you actually believed it every time Vedant Patel and Matt Miller lied about having difficult conversations with their Israeli counterparts?

thanks for choosing the worst timeline, directly or indirectly it doesn’t matter at this point.

Tell that to the DNC. I don’t make these decisions. My state went for Harris. Putting aside the genocide, if you can possibly do such a thing, people’s economic security got worse while Biden was president. Whether or not you can blame the president for this is beside the point, as we should all know by now that the president gets blamed regardless (particularly by well-funded reactionary media sources). That they couldn’t counter this is, again, not my choice.

  That’s my point. Joe Biden was “the only one” who saw it, because it didn’t happen.

    So how often does Putin make you suck his cock? Does he pay you for the privilege, or do you pay him?

First off, I’m not here to defend anyone. Biden and the Democrats should have been further left, and told our supposed ally to pound sand when they wanted bombs for Gaza. But they are an ally, and these deals came from Congress, so the democrats have basically zero say in what actually happens there because the republicans hold enough power there to make it so.

Secondly, don’t gaslight me. There’s plenty of news sites, it was pretty well covered, and I lived through it. I know what I read and saw. I don’t think it went far enough, and I’m pissed off it went the way it did, but it happened. A quick Google/bing/kagi search reveals plenty of results.

Thirdly, it doesn’t really matter. If you have the choice between “we’re going to let them bomb the shit out of them” and “were probably going to let them bomb the shit out of them” you don’t really get a choice on that front. You can NEVER truly be a single issue voter anyway in the US, so the fact that you choose who you didn’t means you liked the rest of Trump’s Project 2025 platform as well. You choose who’s more closely aligned with what you think is best and then you petition your congressional representative with your position. And I know we’re all looking forward to see just how far down economic security can go.
