      Did I say that? If two people are allowing a bad thing to happen, and one also does another bad thing, it’s weird to act like acknowledging that difference is an endorsement of the bad thing they’re both doing.

      Purely practically, a massive restriction of civil liberties, an atmosphere of fear, impending literal domestic starvation, and rebranding dissent and protests as insurrection isn’t worse than genocide. But it sure as hell kills any remote possibility of Americans doing anything to focus on anyone else’s problems while it’s going on.

          I truly doubt your reading comprehension if that’s your takeaway.

          Keep on that Trump bandwagon, since you’re evidently a fan of genocide as long as it comes with a side of domestic civil liberties violations.

              Extremely clever comeback. Have you considered, however, that I am rubber, and you are glue?

              Seriously though. Why do you take “there are some bad things trump is doing that Biden didn’t do” to somehow be an endorsement of the bad things that Biden did do?
              One bad thing is better than two. That doesn’t somehow mean you like the one.

      Personally I think that mass murdering and starving people in a concentration camp PLUS destroying human rights in his own nation is worse.

      Trump only made his limp-wristed, ineffectual attempt to broker a ceasefire in Gaza because he thought it would get him a Nobel. Absolutely nothing else changed. The only reason we aren’t continuing to hear as much about the atrocities there is because the rapid ramping-up of atrocities here are drowning them out.
