"This is the behavior of a crazy person.

Trump is a massive failure as president. He has allowed a genocidal monster to take over the foreign policy of the United States.

Trump has permitted Netanyahu to drag America to the threshold of war with Iran."

you vote for him or don't vote against him.

at least that's what around 70% of Americans did in November.

And either way, you still end up with a psychopath in the pocket of Israel.

This isn’t something that can be fixed at the ballot box. Nothing short of a revolution will change the US relationship with Israel.

Nah, “both parties are the same” is lame voter disenfranchisement talk.

There’s a huge difference.

Suing alternative parties off of the ballot, to ensure there only are two options, is voter disenfranchisement.

Not on this issue there isn't. The genocide continued until the literal last day of Biden's presidency, after which the ceasefire Donald brokered kicked in.

Netanyahu said 'Jump'.

Democrats said: 'How many billion do you want?'

You seriously with a straight face claim that trump is the exact same like kamela Harris...?

I mean, don't get me wrong, I think she's not a good presidential candidate but then again, that can be said about the vast majority of US politician these days but... trump? Really?

The same?

I really really wish I knew if you were kidding or not but these days, it's hard to see the difference between a badly times joke and sincere idiocy.

Please tell me how they are distinct from one another. Because the Harris campaign certainly couldn’t explain it.

We're about to lose Medicaid.

The Biden admin was trying to privatize it.
