“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.”

Cool. It's not happening here. You're having this conversation non-stop because you keep forcing this conversation when nobody's even talking. Why does the statement "Trump is bad" have to be followed by "Biden is also bad"? Those are two different conversations.

Will voting Harris fix the problem? Probably not. Will not voting Harris make things worse? Yes. Do you want things to be worse, or do you want to vote Harris? Just because she's imperfect doesn't change that.

It's a shitty thing to strawman someone to condemn them for things they haven't said. Telling someone not to do a shit thing is not a shit thing.

I am pro-Palestine, anti-Trump, and I think American politics is too right-wing overall. I just don't think "Biden is causing a genocide" is a good response to "Trump would actively make things worse."
