The Republican presidential candidate ridiculously claimed that Biden is “trying to hold” Bibi back, as the Israeli prime minister continued to ruthlessly bomb Lebanon and Gaza.

cross-posted from: https://lemm.ee/post/45237868

“He’s doing a good job,” Trump saidabout the Israeli leader. “Biden is trying to hold him back, just so you understand, Biden is more superior to the VP. He’s trying to hold him back, and he probably should be doing the opposite, actually. I’m glad that Netanyahu decided to do what he had to do, but it’s moving along pretty good.”

    Just a reminder to those “Biden and Harris are participating in genocide, it’s not like Trump could be any worse” crowd.

    It can always get worse.

      That crowd is well aware that it can get worse, but political change sometimes means wading through some sewage in order to walk yourself out of it, rather than standing still in it and saying “it could be worse, like Trump worse, so maybe floating turds are not so bad.”

      Whats to stop the next election from being exactly the same as this one, with hand picked AIPAC candidates on both sides?

        What the fuck conversation are YOU responding to? Cause it’s sure as hell not the one you posted in.

            The only thing they said is “Trump is worse than Biden.” You yourself agreed with that. So why are you demonising them for things they haven’t said?

            Honestly, the fact you’re reacting so strongly to a post calling Trump worse than Biden by saying “liberals coming here to do their pissy whataboutism” makes you sound like a Trump supporter trying to take shots at the other side without even realising that Biden ISN’T EVEN RUNNING.

              You’re totally right, nothing sounds more like support for “finish the job” trump than saying our president shouldn’t turn Palestinian children into skeletons

              Ig that commenter wasn’t really doing whataboutism, the article wasn’t about people protesting the genocide, sorry to that person for any aggression. Fuck tons of liberals (at least the ones I’ve seen commenting on .world) have the idea that wanting Biden to stop sending weapons that are being used for war crimes means you want trump in office, I shouldn’t have assumed that of them

              Free palestine. 🇵🇸

                Also just unbelievably fucking tired of liberals strawmanning leftists like op. No, nobody thinks trump would be better for Palestinians besides people who don’t follow American politics and don’t vote. No, protesting the genocide in Gaza doesn’t make you a russian asset. Yes, I’m voting Harris. Seeing liberals project their lack of shits given about genocide onto leftists really pisses me off, especially with the classic liberal “holier than thou” smug superiority complex they almost always have

                Free palestine. 🇵🇸

                  Once again, what the fuck conversation are you responding to? If you don’t disagree with what they said, that Trump is worse than Biden, why are you spending so much time arguing with them? Please note that they never said Biden was GOOD, just that Trump was WORSE.

                  nobody thinks trump would be better for Palestinians besides people who … don’t vote

                  So, aside from the people who think that, nobody thinks that? Helpful. Do you think they’re maybe not voting because they think Trump can’t be any worse?

                  Please fuck off with your strawmanning OP into a person saying things they definitely didn’t say. Fuck off with your false assertion that we criticise Trump because we love Biden. Fuck off with your “I’m not a russian spy” assertion when nobody ever called you one. Fuck off with your constant smug spamming of the Palestinian flag as if we aren’t on the same fucking side.

                  You’re not just preaching to the choir, you’re calling the choir blasphemers and heretics. If you’re going to respond to someone, please respond to what they said, and not what you think they could have said.

                    He’s a Trump supporter arguing in bad faith, stop engaging with him, it won’t lead to anything good.

                    The conversation anyone who is pro Palestine is having 24/7. From Kamala’s “I’m speaking”, through actions of Biden and press releases by Trump. You are reacting as if none of what OP said ever happens. You are acting like “Trump is worse!” Isn’t immediately followed by “vote Kamala” as if she somehow will solve the problem. Just because one candidate sucks, doesn’t mean you can’t criticize the other for doing the same shit. You keep going “fuck off with X” (which is a shitty thing to do btw) and basically telling them to shut up, stay silent and not bother you / not speak out. You are the exact problem OP is responding to. And then you say “I’m on your side”.

                    Most of the second reply wasn’t even aimed at op tf are you getting mad about xD it was just a general complaint about shitlibs who strawman leftists, and that’s what op did. They didn’t do all the shit I complained about, but they act like there’s this huge contingent of people voting for trump bc biden is bad about palestine without actually showing it at all, because it’s not a thing. Again, tired of people like you and op acting like anyone not 100% in line with democrats 100% of the time is a nazi, especially when that accusation is hurled at people ACTIVELY PROTESTING GENOCIDE

                    Yea no shit op didn’t say pro palestinian protestors are nazis, maybe you could pick up from context that that specific line wasn’t about them rather than trying to spin my words into something they’re not? Thank you :3
